Adam Silver was asked about any possibility of a reconsideration of Donald Sterling's lifetime ban or fine.

"There is absolutely no possibility that the lifetime ban will be rescinded or that the fine will be changed in any way," he said.

Silver said he has spoken to Sterling once, by telephone, following the ban.

"I would only say that I certainly learned nothing new from that conversation with him," Silver said. "He was distraught; it was shortly after that Tuesday press conference that I had held, but he was not remorseful at that time."
