Sorry, Clippers fans. As of now, Magic Johnson has no plans to come in and buy the team.

In a post on his Twitter, Johnson denied speculation that he was trying to buy the Los Angeles Clippers from embattled team owner Donald Sterling.

The logic is a little fuzzy — just because a team has an owner, that doesn’t mean it can’t be bought, right?

Johnson belongs to an ownership group that owns the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Johnson’s name was mentioned in racist comments attributed to Sterling on a recording obtained by TMZ. Johnson has vowed never to attend a Clippers game as long as Sterling remains the owner.
