Sterlings get trial

NBA: A trial will be held next month to determine whether Donald Sterling, who opposes his estranged wife Shelly’s planned sale of the Los Angeles Clippers, was properly removed as an administrator for the family trust that owns the team.

The trial will begin July 7. The case will center on whether the 80-year-old Donald Sterling is mentally competent to be a co-trustee of The Sterling Family Trust, which gives him the authority to determine the team’s future.

If Shelly Sterling is successful, she can proceed with the $2 billion sale to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
