LOS ANGELES — Shelly Sterling's attorneys will ask a judge Thursday to order Donald Sterling and his attorneys to stop threatening, harassing or intimidating his wife's legal team and the doctors who determined the Los Angeles Clippers' co-owner was mentally incapacitated.

A person with knowledge of the legal proceedings told The Associated Press that the urgent request seeks protections for witnesses including three doctors who could testify in next month's scheduled trial to determine if Shelly Sterling can sell the Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for $2 billion.

The individual wasn't authorized to comment and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The decision to go to court was precipitated by several incidents in which Donald Sterling's attorney or Donald Sterling himself contacted the two doctors who examined him in May and determined him to be mentally incapacitated, the individual said.
