Phoenix Suns team owner Robert Sarver issued a statement after being fined $10 million and suspended for a year as a result of the NBA investigation.
"Let me be perfectly clear: I have never called anyone or any group of people the N-word, or referred to anyone or any group of people by the N-word," Sarver said back in November."Any accusation that I have is 100 percent false. That word isn’t in my vocabulary, and my family and friends who have known me for decades will confirm that I don’t use that kind of language, or any kind of racist language.
In addition, Sarver engaged in what essentially can be called bullying as he yelled and cursed at employees. The Suns will open the 2021-22 season Oct. 19 against the Dallas Mavericks at Footprint Center. As part of his suspension, Sarver will not be able to attend any NBA or WNBA games, events or activities, practices or business affairs.
"“The statements and conduct described in the findings of the independent investigation are troubling and disappointing,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in a news release. “We believe the outcome is the right one, taking into account all the facts, circumstances and context brought to light by the comprehensive investigation of this 18-year period and our commitment to upholding proper standards in NBA workplaces.
