Yao denies Clippers rumor
Print Edition
CHINESE basketball star Yao Ming yesterday denied a report that he was lining up investors to bid for the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers if embattled owner Donald Sterling has to sell the team.
“I can’t confirm it because it is completely a rumor,” Yao said when asked about the report at an NBA event in Taipei.
“Currently I don’t have such a plan” to buy any NBA team, said the former Houston Rockets star.
ESPN.com reported last month that Yao was the latest celebrity to be linked to a potential Clippers bid since Sterling was engulfed in a scandal over racially charged remarks that became public in April.
ESPN, citing unnamed sources, said Yao and another former NBA player, Grant Hill, were working separately to find investors to launch bids.
Yao retired from the NBA in July 2011.
He owns the CBA’s Shanghai Sharks and maintains close ties with the NBA.
