LOS ANGELES (CN) - L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling cannot block the $2 billion sale of the NBA team that his estranged wife Rochelle Sterling brokered against his wishes, a probate judge ruled Monday.
Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas said he found Rochelle Sterling a more credible witness than her husband, who shouted at attorneys during several days of testimony, and called his wife "a pig."
Levanas said the sale could go through immediately.
Rochelle Sterling agreed in May to sell the team to former Microsoft executive Steve Ballmer for $2 billion.
