- Updated: October 25, 2014
We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Clippers.

Hawks president Danny Ferry has also been disciplined by the club for derogatory comments about British player Luol Deng’s African heritage.
