Game over?
Politico:
Here's how it works: After winning Indiana, Sanders has 1,399 pledged delegates and superdelegates to his name, according to the Associated Press' count. That means he needs 984 more to reach the threshold of 2,383 needed to win.
The remaining contests, however — Guam, West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the District of Columbia — only have 933 pledged delegates to offer.
So even if Sanders were to win 100 percent of the pledged delegates in each of those states, he wouldn't make it past the mark.
Hence his efforts to win over superdelegates, the party leaders and elites who can choose their candidate regardless of how their states vote. That strategy is a long shot at best for Sanders: of the 719 super delegates, Clinton leads 520 to 39.

something he wants, not huge since his leverage isn't that great, but enough to make him feel pushing further gained something of worth. Then they'll all make an announcement.
Then, because he wants to defeat Trump but is proudly not one of them, I predict he'll be both helpful and a further nuisance (from their point of view, not his of course) through the rest of the campaign.
I was interested recently when a neighbor's relative's something, a member of a socialist party whose name won't come, badmouthed Bernie as really just a Democrat. Such an insult! 
In any case, apparently they disagree that he even qualifies as a Social Democrat, much less a Democratic Socialist, much less a Socialst.
Certainly couldn't argue with her when he has voted with the Dem caucus over 95% of the time for a quarter century. Otoh, Bernie has been denouncing Democrats and badmouthing liberals for far longer than that, so seems just sensible, and polite, to take his word on the matter.
