L.A Clipper former owner, Donald Sterling Diagnosed With Alzheimer's Disease

Embattled Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, his attorney Max Blecher said. The businessman's estranged wife Shelly Sterling confirmed the news.

Sterling was diagnosed by two neurologists earlier this month, TMZ reported on Friday. At the time, the NBA team owner underwent a CT and PET scan as part of the process.

The doctors concluded that the businessman may have had the disease for the past five years. He can appeal the doctors’ conclusions to the California Probate Court, the report pointed out.
