‘Clipped’ is a smartly written saga about the off-court triangle involving Donald Sterling

I like a good sports story as much as the next TV critic, but when it comes to actual professional sports, my lack of interest is exceeded only by my ignorance. All I could have told you about the Clippers the day before yesterday was that they’re an L.A.-based basketball team known for losing; I had missed the 2014 scandal at the heart of “Clipped,” a new FX miniseries on Hulu based on the ESPN podcast “The Sterling Affairs,” and knew nothing of any of the players represented here — outside of Elgin Baylor but that’s just basic Los Angeles cultural knowledge.
