The Athletic is reporting that it’s “health concerns” and Sterling has said he will meet with the media and discuss it this weekend.
When you’re 85, you have earned the right to get up one morning and say, “You know what? I’m done with this grind and I am going to enjoy the time I have left.”
I’m a couple of decades younger and just semi retired, and I hurt 17 different places when I get out of bed in the morning, and I can’t imagine still doing it at 85.

Sterling had scaled down his workload in recent seasons and had planned to only make a few road trips this season, as how to handle his time moving forward had been a topic of discussion in recent years.
But after making the season-opening road trip through Houston and Arizona, and then calling the first three home games, Sterling decided it was the right time to step away.
“I guess if I was smarter and I’m not, if I was smarter I would have done this March 1 or March 31,” Sterling said Monday on WFAN. “I’m the greatest sports fan in history and I got TVs all over the joint and I should have stopped then. I just don’t want to do any more work. I’ve worked for 64 years and in July I’ll be 86, so let’s face it, my time has come.
“I guess I could just do the home games, but you know what’s true, fellas? I don’t want to get up in the afternoon and have to go somewhere,” Sterling added. “I will be very happy in my retirement.”
