Robert Sarver, owner of the Phoenix Suns and Mercury, said he will sell both teams after receiving a suspension and fine for workplace harassment.
“I do not want to be a distraction to these two teams and the fine people who work so hard to bring the joy and excitement of basketball to fans around the world,” Sarver explained. “I want what's best for these two organizations, the players, the employees, the fans, the community, my fellow owners, the NBA and the WNBA. This is the best course of action for everyone.
“In the meantime, I will continue to work on becoming a better person, and continuing to support the community in meaningful ways. Thank you for continuing to root for the Suns and the Mercury, embracing the power that sports has to bring us together,” Sarver’s statement concluded. A similar incident occurred in 2015 when former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling sold the team after he was fined $2.5 million and banned from the league for life for making racist remarks.
