NBA commissioner Adam Silver will hold a press conference Tuesday in New York City to address the investigation regarding alleged racist remarks made by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.Sterling came under fire over the weekend after TMZ released a controversial audio recording of an alleged conversation between Sterling and his girlfriend, V. Stiviano. On the tape, Sterling can allegedly be heard scolding Stiviano for bringing African-Americans to Clippers games and for posting photographs of herself and African-Americans to her Instagram account.TMZ posted excerpts of the audio conversation in which Sterling, who is married, is allegedly upset with Stiviano — who identifies herself as “black and Mexican” — for posting a photo with Hall of Famer Magic Johnson.“It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?” “You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that … and not to bring them to my games.”Don’t put him [Johnson] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don’t bring him to my games.”

Who cares what the owner of a basketball team thinks about anything?
