“People have been predicting his imminent demise. I’m sure he has the best . . . drugs money can buy,” said a source close to the situation. “He can do anything to keep himself alive."
The New York Post's source also indicated that doctors "thought he would die two years ago," and that the medication Donald Sterling has been taking is the reason why his face has taken on a swollen appearance recently.

Four Clippers players ended up footing the $70,000 bill.
