Following a long investigation into workplace misconduct within the Phoenix Suns organization, the NBA announced Suns majority owner Robert Sarver has been fined $10 million and is suspended from the team for a period of one year, among other disciplinary measures.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Sarver’s actions were “indefensible,” but also that the lifetime ban levied against Donald Sterling in 2014 wasn’t an applicable punishment in this case, and that he doesn’t “have the right to take away his team.”
