Shelly Sterling spoke to Barbara Walters, and ABC News posted a short story with excerpts from the conversation Sunday.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has banned Donald Sterling for making racist comments and urged owners to force Sterling to sell the team. Silver added that no decisions had been made about the rest of Sterling's family.

According to ABC's story, Shelly Sterling told Walters: "I will fight that decision."

Sterling also said that she "eventually" will divorce her husband, and that she hadn't yet done so due to financial considerations.
