ESPN’s 30 For 30 podcast series The Sterling Affairs, hosted by reporter Ramona Shelburne, is getting its own TV show. According to various outlets, FX has formally given the green light to repurpose the docuseries for the big screen, with a behind-the-scenes look at the collapse of disgraced former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
Laurence Fishburne has been cast as former coach Doc Rivers, Jacki Weaver will play wife Shelly Sterling, while Shelburne has been brought on to executive produce the series alongside American Crime Story’s production team Color Force.
Sterling owned the Clippers for 33 years as they pushed to win a championship and shake off their reputation of being the most losing franchise in NBA history.
