The new FX sports drama series Clipped brought to light the elaborate scandal in 2014 that led to the downfall of erstwhile Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and a strong effort to drive out racism from the NBA. In the first two episodes of the show, we were introduced to Donald Sterling, the aging owner of the Clippers franchise, who was always a controversial character. But what he did not expect was for his secretary-cum-mistress, V Stiviano, to leak conversation tapes in which he blatantly expressed his horribly racist beliefs and prejudices. This week’s Clipped episode 3 deals with the immediate repercussions following the leak, especially on the Clippers team, as they prepare to play a crucial fourth game in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Warner Bros. Discovery’s bid to stay in the business of basketball is anything but a slam dunk.
The media company has signaled in recent days to the NBA that it would like to discuss the prospect of carving out a small package of game rights to go alongside those already negotiated with Disney, Amazon and NBCUniversal, according to people familiar with the talks. Current NBA media rights are owned by Disney and Warner, but the contract behind them lapses after the 2024-2025 season, and the league has been in discussions with media companies for weeks over new contracts.
Warner Bros. Discovery and the NBA did not reach new terms during a recent window of exclusivity, these people said, but Warner would like the league to consider the idea of a “fourth package” — potentially to keep Warner from pressing what it believes are its rights to match the terms struck...
