Clippers Owner to Testify
Clippers' owner Donald Sterling, who is challenging his wife's $2 billion deal to sell the Los Angeles Clippers, was ordered to testify today after he skipped the opening of the case yesterday.
Sterling was ordered to appear at this afternoon's hearing after he couldn't be found yesterday. Instead, the first testimony came from a neurologist who concluded that the 80-year-old team owner had Alzheimer's disease.
Dr. Meril Sue Platzer testified that she was hired by Sterling's wife, Shelly, to evaluate him and made the diagnosis based on two brain scans and a two-hour interview at his home with his wife and an attorney present.
Dr. Platzer said Sterling's reaction to being told that he probably has Alzheimer's was to say, "I'm hungry. I want to eat."
