Note: This story contains spoilers from “Clipped” Season 3, Episode 6.
The final episode of “Clipped” sees the Clippers headed to the playoffs, as Shelley Sterling (Jacki Weaver) looked for a buyer for the team and Donald Sterling (Ed O’Neill) conducted his infamous “apology” interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper. The conversation went off the rails, with him accusing Cooper of being “more of a racist than I am” and yelling about Magic Johnson having AIDS.
After watching the interview and talking about selling the Clippers with her lawyer Pierce O’Donnell, public relations representative Seth Burton and friend Justine, Shelley revealed she’d revised the family trust so Donald could be removed as a co-trustee if he was found incompetent. After being tested by a doctor, Donald and Shelley are told that he has Alzheimer’s Disease. Meanwhile, Doc Rivers (Laurence Fishburne) told his players to block out the noise from the Sterling interview and focus on winning the playoffs, but they end up losing.
