Former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is appealing the dismissal of his $600 million antitrust lawsuit against the NBA and his wife, Shelly Sterling.
The filing, with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, comes one month after U.S. District Judge Fernando M. Olguin ruled against Sterling.
Olguin said in his decision that he was "skeptical Sterling suffered any injury at all, let alone an antitrust injury" by the sale of the team for $2 billion to ex-Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and called other parts of the lawsuit implausible.
Sterling, 81, had claimed in the lawsuit that he could have gotten more than $2 billion for the team but the circumstances of the sale "markedly reduced" the price.
