Magic Johnson is calling upon NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to “come down hard” on Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who is alleged to have made racially charged comments and urged a girlfriend to not bring black people to his team’s games.

Johnson was a subject of the comments Sterling allegedly made on an audio recording obtained and released by TMZ.

The former Lakers guard says Sterling “shouldn’t own a team anymore.”

Johnson has already said he would not attend Clippers games as long as Sterling remains owner.

He also says the Clippers should be focused on their ongoing playoff series with Golden State and not the latest scandal involving their owner.

Johnson spoke on ABC’s playoff pregame show Sunday.
