The NBA has accepted Shelly Sterling’s move to sell the Los Angeles Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, the league annoucned in a news release Friday evening.

The league now has canceled a June 3 hearing in which the Board of Governors would have voted on the termination of the Sterling Family Trust’s ownership of the Clippers.

The Board of Governors still must approve the sale to Ballmer, and no time frame was mentioned on that vote.
