Sterling told Los Angeles television affiliate NBC4 he was content with the deal his wife Shelly negotiated with the former Microsoft CEO, which still must be approved by the league’s board of governors.
“I feel fabulous, I feel very good,” Sterling said when interviewed at a charity event on Tuesday night.
“Everything is just the way it should be, really. It may have worked out differently, but it’s good. It’s all good.”
On Friday, the league cancelled a hearing on whether to oust Sterling over racially charged remarks he made to a girlfriend, which sparked outrage when they became public in April.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling for life from all NBA activities, and fined the real estate billionaire $US2.5 million.
It remains unclear if Sterling plans to go ahead with a lawsuit against the NBA seeking $US1 billion in damages.
The suit was filed in US federal court in Los Angeles on Friday, shortly before the NBA said it approved the sale of the Clippers to Ballmer and would ask the board of governors to vote on it.
The league said Shelly Sterling and the Sterling family trust had agreed not to sue the NBA, and to indemnify the league against lawsuits from others, including from Donald Sterling.
