We're told earlier this month Donald agreed to an examination by 2 prominent neurologists. He underwent extensive tests, including a CT and PET scan. We're told both doctors diagnosed Donald with Alzheimer's ...

My mother's doctor told us that the only definitive test for Alzheimer's is a brain biopsy.

TigersEye,

I think your mother’s doctor is correct. I’ve had the occasion of taking depositions of many doctors that work with older patients. The most trained will confirm what your mom’s doctor says. A Doc worth his/her salt will say that since Alzheimer’s can’t be certain until after death, the proper designation before death is Alzheimer’s Type Dementia.

I think the NBA is opening a can of worms it doesn’t want to be in. I read an article in legal publications weeks ago that stated Sterling had retained 12-18 private investigators to dig into the lives/history/biases of other owners. If it bore fruit, Owners would be reluctant to take his property away. Especially since their own dirty laundry would be exposed.

Having put similar language in trusts, I can assure you that Sterling would still be able to institute legal actions to delay any sale.

Your mother’s doctor is right. It can only definitively be diagnosed after death. Currently, the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s is a differential one. Rule everything else out and that is what you are left with.
