The Phoenix Suns held their media day on Monday, which would normally be about nothing but the upcoming 2022-23 NBA season. There was definitely talk of basketball, but there was one non-basketball topic every player, executive, and coach had to comment on: Robert Sarver, the soon-to-be former owner of the Suns and Phoenix Mercury.
The NBA suspended Sarver for one year and fined him $10 million after an investigation confirmed that he'd acted inappropriately in the workplace, fostered a hostile working environment, and said the N-word several times in front of employees. Shortly after that punishment was announced, Sarver said he had started the process of selling both the Suns and the Mercury.
The first thing most players were asked about was Sarver's actions and his punishment. Here's what Chris Paul, Devin Booker, and Williams said.Paul said the report was"tough to read, and disturbing." He said that he regularly spoke to commissioner Adam Silver about the Sarver situation, as did Steph Curry, CJ McCollum, and Kyle Lowry. He also sent his thoughts and prayers to those who were directly affected by Sarver's actions.
