LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling agreed Wednesday to sign off on selling the team he has owned for 33 years to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for $2 billion, bringing the possibility of a resolution to weeks of rumours, uncertainty and looming possibilities for legal action. The agreement hadnt been officially signed Wednesday afternoon, according to an individual with knowledge of the negotiations who wasnt authorized to discuss them publicly. But Donald Sterlings attorney, Maxwell Blecher, said he "has made an agreement with the NBA to resolve all their differences." Sterling gave his consent to a deal that was negotiated by his wife, Shelly Sterling, to sell the team, Blecher said. Representatives for Shelly Sterling and the NBA declined to comment. The agreement was an about face for Donald Sterling, who just last week filed a $1 billion suit against the NBA in federal court alleging the league violated his constitutional rights by relying on information from an "illegal" recording that publicized racist remarks he made to a girlfriend. It also said the league committed a breach of contract by fining Sterling $2.5 million and that it violated antitrust laws by trying to force a sale. Blecher said that as a result of the agreement, the federal suit will now be dismissed. Sterlings comments to V. Stiviano included telling her to not bring black people to Clippers games, specifically mentioning Hall of Famer Magic Johnson. They resulted in a storm of outrage from the public and players and even prompted President Barack Obama to comment on what he called Sterlings "incredibly offensive racist statements." NBA Commissioner Adam Silver ultimately decided to ban Donald Sterling for life and began efforts to force Sterling to sell the team. For weeks, Donald Sterling said through his attorneys that he would fight the NBAs decisions to try to force his ouster as a team owner. But last week Shelly Sterling utilized her authority as sole trustee of The Sterling Family Trust, which owns the Clippers, to take bids for the team and ultimately negotiate a deal with Ballmer. Ballmer beat out bids by Guggenheim Partners and a group including former NBA All-Star Grant Hill. Ballmer made more than an hour-long personal visit to Shelly Sterlings Malibu home last week and laid out his plan. If the NBA owners approve the sale, it will be a record-high sum for a team that cost Donald Sterling about $12 million in 1981. Blechers co-counsel, Bobby Samini, said the vote by league owners is expected to take place in mid-July. This is not Ballmers first foray into potential NBA ownership. Ballmer and investor Chris Hansen headed a group that agreed to a deal to buy the Kings from the Maloof family in January 2013 with the intention of moving the team to Seattle, where the SuperSonics played until 2008. But Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson lobbied the NBA for time to put together a bid to keep the team in California, and though the Ballmer-Hansen group later increased its offer, owners voted to deny the bid for relocation and the Kings were sold to Vivek Ranadive.

A native of Trencin, Slovakia, Gaborik has represented his country at the 2006 and 2010 Olympics but was unable to play in Sochi because of his injury. Granit Xhaka Jersey . The match, billed as a "next-gen" encounter between two of the sports rising stars, lasted two and a half hours. The loss kept Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., from reaching a third fourth-round spot in Melbourne over the past four years.If there were any worries Oregons highly-touted offence would take a step back this year, with Chip Kelly now working his craft in the NFL, Marcus Mariota has done a remarkable job the first seven weeks of the season putting them to bed. Not all the credit can be given to Mariota, Mark Helfrich has orchestrated a seamless transition from Kelly at head coach, but the redshirt sophomores performance has allowed the Ducks to pick up where they left off in torturing opposing defences on a weekly basis. And with Mariota, Helfrich might have something Kelly never did, a Heisman Trophy winner. Despite failing to surpass 50 points for the first time this season, Oregons 45-24 win over PAC-12 rival Washington was perhaps their strongest effort of the year, and Mariota was the catalyst. The Honolulu native threw for 366 yards and rushed for 88 more with four combined scores against the 16th-ranked Huskies defence. His numbers on the year rank among the best in the NCAA with his 25 combined touchdowns (17 passing) and zero interceptions really standing out. His 1,724 passing yards are 17th in the nation but fourth among Heisman candidates, and buooyed by his 426 yards on the ground this season.dddddddddddd Mariotas strong Week 7 propelled him into the Top 3 of the Heisman Watch while at the same time bumping down a former top contender, Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater. Bridgewater was only okay (21-31, 310 yards, 2 TDs to 1 INT) against Rutgers in a game the Cardinals relied more on their defence for the win. The other two sitting atop the Heisman Watch are of course Tajh Boyd and Johnny Manziel. Boyd was solid for Clemson in Week 7, throwing for 334 yards and scoring two TD combined against Boston College. His Heisman bid, along with the No. 3 Tigers season, could very well come down to next weeks matchup against Jameis Winston and the fifth-ranked Florida State Seminoles. Manziel meanwhile, shook off a serious enough looking knee injury to lead Texas A&M to a SEC win over Ole Miss. The defending Heisman winner was 31/39 for 346 yards and an interception, while adding 124 yards and two touchdowns on the ground against the formerly ranked Rebels. Fringe contenders this week include Alabama QB AJ McCarron, Baylor RB Lache Seastrunk, and UCLA QB Brett Hundley.
