kick up again this morning. and the worry is, that could whip up this fire all over again. the treacherous combination of 90-degree heat. and up to 90-mile-per-hour winds, are making this fire fast-moving and unpredictable. the winds, so fierce, fire crews couldn't put up any helicopters or planes to battle the blaze. more than 700 firefighters are waging a ground war. in some cases, right up to homes. >> we're seeing a very, what we call a dirty burn. the fire is moving around in a lot of weird places. it's not a typical line of fire that you would normally see on something like this. >> reporter: 1,650 homes, more than 2,500 people forced to evacuate for much of the day. >> you get that adrenaline rush where you know you have to pack up your belongings. the thought goes to your head you're going to lose it all. >> reporter: that hasn't happened, yet. the fire has burned through 1,000 acres in less than 24 hours, melting mailboxes in some cases, but so far, no homes destroyed.

all-star list of potential buyers. abc's ryan smith has more. he's there for us in l.a. this morning. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: good morning, robin. leave it to an l.a. sports team to generate star power's potential buyers if the clippers are for sale. that's a big if. with donald sterling as defiant as ever, who knows how long this saga could continue. this morning, the nba working to convince team owners to toss out donald sterling. but he told fox news on wednesday, he's not going without a fight. >> his exact answer was, the team is not for sale. i am not selling the team. >> reporter: but if 75% of team owners decide to vote sterling out, plenty of stars are lining up to buy what may be the hottest property in pro sports. oprah winfrey in discussion with music mobile, david geffen, and software billionaire, larry

ellissson, to make a joint bid for the team. and another hat thrown into the ring. this time by boxing star floyd mayweather jr. >> we're very, very interested in buying the clippers. >> reporter: this morning it's not just donald sterling under siege after making racist remarks caught on tape, now his wife, shelly, is also being accused of making racist comments. according to a 2006 discrimination lawsuit filed on the sterlings by the justice department. a former supervisor at a property the sterlings owned, said hispanic tenates were filthy. and reportedly telling one tenant, who do you think you are, you black -- expletive. a statement she denied making. and said on the record, quote, we do not discriminate against any person. and we encourage diversity in both our tenants and employees. the sterlings settled in 2009 without admitting wrong-doing. in another suit, a former tenant took this video, which was determined to be mrs. sterling posing as a government official, allegedly in order to identify tenants she could erect. >> are you mrs. shelby from the health department? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: as for the woman who made the sterling recording, v. stiviano is refusing to

answer questions, hiding behind that now-familiar visor. even under the best of circumstances, it may take some time for owners to vote. sterling gets five days to respond to charges. and the vote would take place after that. but the question remain, if sterling is ousted, will he fight this in the court system. george? >> a lot of stories out there. and the clippers are on a roll. it's clear they don't want sterling as the owner. it's clear they don't want sterling as the owner. do you think the players care who buys the team? >> they want someone who respects the players and the game. you don't want somebody to buy the team for a the wrong reasons. you want someone to buy the team because they generally enjoy the game of basketball, they want to win. they're committed to winning. you just don't want a racist. bosom line. >> bottom line. >> but as a player, how aware are you of ownership? >> you're very aware. it's a family. you want to play for somebody that is committed to you because you're committed to them.

not only mentally but physically. put your body on the line for the owner of the team. >> how do you like the idea of oprah as the owner? >> i love oprah as the owner. she would probably give us all a free car. >> the hat, and towels. >> the big irony here is this guy, he bought the team for $12.5 million. now, it's going to go for $700 million, $800 million when it finally sells. >> no matter what the money, that is what it is. money is not going to affect him anyway. i think it's the ability to get him out of the game and clean the game up. that's the best thing for the league. >> want to see what the other owners are going to do. we have another story blowing up online. there's been a hash tag all over the place. it blew up. it's called team trent. it was trending. and linzie janis is in the social square to tell us what it's all about. >> hi, michael, good morning. that's right. #teentrent was trending all night. support and enthusiasm for this 21-year-old exploding after his turn on "wheel of fortune." here's the puzzle he had to solve.

but police say once winston realized he made off with the shellfish, he made no attempt to return to the store. in his statement, winston called it a, quote, moment of youthful inignorance. >> the reason this is a big deal is because it's another strike and a pattern of behavior that's being established for jameis winston. >> reporter: because it was considered his first offense, he was given only a citation. but winston does have an alleged history, accused by a fellow student of sexual assault in december of 2012. florida state's attorneys office decided not to prosecute him last year. but the department of education is reportedly investigating fsu over its handling of the assault allegation. in what was perhaps a nod to that episode, winston added, i realize that i'm in the public spotlight. and my conduct needs to be above reproach. now, in order to avoid being criminally charged, winston will have to complete 20 hours of community service and

probably repay the 33 bucks for the crab legs. this being his fourth alleged incident with the law in about 18 months, he'll continue to fall under increasing scrutiny. robin? >> thank you for that, matt. he's saying all of the right things in his statement. knowing that, yes, he is under the spotlight. and he's got to conduct himself in a certain way. and it seems to be a pattern, which is very disturbing to some people. but he's been suspended from the baseball team. they're taking it seriously. >> but you only get so many chances. that's what he needs to realize. and i guess it's safe to say, he ate the evidence. >> it's safe to say that? it is safe to say that? >> i couldn't help myself. i'm sorry. >> michael, you are a man after my own heart. >> we're going to move on from that. i know. get another check of the weather and ginger, who is in baltimore. hey, ginger. >> hey, there, robin.
