Legal battle over Clippers’ proposed Inglewood arena is over

The legal brawl over the billion-dollar arena the Clippers plan to build in Inglewood has come to a quiet end.

Attorneys filed papers Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court to dismiss five lawsuits filed or backed by the Madison Square Garden Co. that opposed the arena project.

The move came the day after Clippers owner Steve Ballmer closed on his $400-million purchase of the Forum from MSG, settling a dispute that started when the Clippers announced their arena project in June 2017.
