The report was made"It's barely a slap on the wrist and shows us the league truly doesn't stand for diversity, equity or inclusion," a former staffer who spoke to ESPN for the initial 2021 story told ESPN.
Silver continued,"I am hopeful that the NBA community will use this opportunity to reflect on what this great game means to people everywhere and the values of equality, respect and inclusion that it strives to represent. Regardless of position, power or intent, we all need to recognize the corrosive and hurtful impact of racially insensitive and demeaning language and behavior.
Sarver must also complete a training program focused on respect and appropriate conduct in the workplace.
