"The NBA is banning Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, league Commissioner Adam Silver announced Tuesday, saying that its investigation has verified Sterling made racist comments in an audio recording that was made public Friday.

"Saying that the NBA's investigation included a discussion with Sterling, Silver stated that the views he expressed 'are deeply offensive and harmful.'

"Silver said he was outraged by the remarks; he also apologized to former players and anyone else offended by the sentiments in the recording.

"Sterling's punishment also includes a $2.5 million fine, Silver said. The fine is the maximum amount allowed under the NBA's charter."

Ana Kasparian, Jimmy Dore, Desi Doyen and Dave Rubin discuss Sterling's punishment, as well as Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's response to the sentence on The Young Turks.
