Magic Johnson wants NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to "come down hard" on Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
Sterling allegedly made racially charged comments and urged a girlfriend to not bring black people to his team's games.
The comments that appear to have come from Sterling were made on an audio recording obtained and released by TMZ. In those purported remarks by Sterling, the owner referred to Johnson and said "he shouldn't own a team anymore."
Johnson has said he would not attend Clippers games as long as Sterling owns a team. He also says the Clippers should be focused on their playoff series with Golden State and not the latest scandal involving their owner.
Johnson spoke on ABC's playoff pregame show Sunday.
