FX has announced an order for the limited series, The Sterling Affairs, with Laurence Fishburne and Jacki Weaver to star.

It will follow the fallout when the former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, Donald Sterling, was forced to sell the team in 2014 after racist remarks were uncovered that brought to light a history of problematic behavior.

The series will follow the team’s journey as they deal with the aftermath of Sterling’s public downfall and their response on the court as they enter the NBA playoffs.

Laurence Fishburne has signed on to star as former Clippers Head Coach Doc Rivers, and Jacki Weaver will play Shelly Sterling, Donald Sterling’s wife.

Here is the official description of the limited series:

‘The Sterling Affairs’ tells the behind the scenes story of Doc Rivers and the Los Angeles Clippers’ quest to bring a championship to one of the historically worst franchises in all of sports during the impending downfall of the team’s owner, Donald Sterling, whose notoriously racist behavior is brought to light amid the power struggle between his wife of 60+ years, Shelly Sterling, and his mistress, V. Stiviano.

The series is written by Gina Welch and is based on the 30 for 30 Podcast The Sterling Affairs, which chronicled Sterling’s downfall.
