Woman in Sterling racism row denies releasing tapes

V Stiviano, the woman whom Donald Sterling was talking to when he made racist remarks, is "very saddened" by his lifetime NBA ban, and she didn’t release the recording of their conversation, her lawyer said.

Stiviano “never wanted any harm to Donald,” Siamak Nehoray of Calabasas told the Los Angeles Times.

Somebody released it “for money,” but it wasn’t Stiviano, the attorney said.
