The story of dysfunctional Clippers owner Donald Sterling is set to air when “Clipped” hits Hulu on June 4.
The six-part series will dramatize one of the most controversial moments in NBA history, highlighting the actions that led to Sterling’s lifetime ban from the league for making racist remarks that were caught on tape.
The docudrama is based on the ESPN 30 for 30 podcast “The Sterling Affairs,” diving deep into the main character’s horrendous story that led to his downfall as the owner of the Clippers after 33 years.
“Clipped” will cast all the key people involved in the Clippers organization, from Ed O’Neill as Sterling to Laurence Fishburne as head coach Doc Rivers and many more.
