Are Clippers fans going to boycott tomorrow night's Warriors/Clippers game in light of the recent comments that Donald Sterling made? It's a question that everyone is asking right now. But it's still TBD. One guy who will be boycotting the game on Tuesday night, though, is Tank. He was scheduled to sing the National Anthem before Game 5 of the Los Angeles/Golden State series. But he has decided not to do it after hearing Sterling's comments.

"As an African-American man and artist, I must take a stand on a matter that is so deeply personal to me," he told TMZ Sports. "In light of the recent disturbing and offensive allegations, in good conscience, I cannot move forward with my scheduled appearance at Tuesday's Los Angeles Clippers game."

Surprised? Yeah, us either. It'll be interesting to see who else stays away from Staples Center tomorrow.
