The legal saga surrounding the $2 billion sale of the Los Angeles Clippers appeared to reach a conclusion last week after nearly two years of litigation.

But there could more additional twists and turns to come.

A federal judge last week dismissed a lawsuit brought by former Clippers owner Donald Sterling alleging his wife, the National Basketball Association, and several others colluded to sell the team without his permission. However, Sterling’s lawyer said the 81-year-old billionaire would continue to pursue claims against the NBA and other parties.

“While we are not entirely surprised by the ruling, our client remains committed to the cause,” said Sterling attorney Bobby Samini of Newport Beach’s Samini Scheinberg.

U.S. District Court Judge Fernando Olguin found all of Sterling’s claims for relief unpersuasive and dismissed both the antitrust and due-process claims his attorneys put forward.

“In short, Sterling cannot show that the NBA parties deprived him of a constitutionally protected interest,” the judge’s order reads.

Samini said in a statement released after the ruling that he is incredulous his client has not been able to win any relief from the courts.

“It is impossible to believe that, in any other circumstance, a private conversation could be recorded and distributed without an individual’s consent or that private medical information could be made public in this manner all without consequence,” the statement reads.

The case was filed in May 2014 shortly after the sale of the Clippers to former Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Steve Ballmer was announced. It alleged an intricate conspiracy by the NBA; Donald’s wife, Shelly Sterling; and other actors to pry the team from Sterling’s control after racist comments made to his mistress V. Stiviano were leaked to TMZ and went viral.

Sterling waged a legal campaign on numerous other fronts in the wake of his ouster from the league. He sued to stop the Clippers’ sale in Los Angeles probate court, but his efforts were rebuffed both at the trial court level and on appeal. He also sued TMZ, claiming the audio the gossip website posted was privileged, but was unsuccessful.

A spokesman for the NBA declined to comment.

Shelly Sterling’s attorney, Pierce O’Donnell of Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger’ Century City office, said he welcomed the court’s decision.

“The Federal judge’s dismissal … puts a merciful end to (Sterling’s) quixotic litigation campaign over the sale of the Los Angeles Clippers for the record-shattering price of $2 billion,” he said in a statement. “With all of his other lawsuits dismissed, this is the final chapter.”

Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom represented the NBA in the case.

Despite the litigation between them, the Sterlings remain married. Donald Sterling withdrew his petition for divorce March 4.
