A
day later, Cuban was fined $600,000 by the league for suggesting his
team would be better off losing the remainder of its games this season.
Discussing
both developments on ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption (PTI), the show’s
co-host Tony Kornheiser said that NBA’s executives would be keeping a
close eye on the Mavs.
“I could envision the league saying ‘We
don’t want him [Cuban] owning this team anymore, we don’t think he is
good for the league’,” he said.
In the past, the league has
forced owners to sell their franchise, most notably in the case of
former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who in April 2014 was
fined $2.5m and banned from attending NBA games after a recording of
him making racist remarks was released by TMZ Sports.
Following pressure from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, Sterling sold the team a month later.
