Suns president and CEO Jason Rowley has resigned from the organization following an investigation into workplace misconduct allegations that led to the ousting of former team owner Robert Sarver, ESPN’s Baxter Holmes reported Monday.
Rowley’s resignation comes less than two months after he informed a group of employees that he would not be resigning, claiming he was misrepresented in an ESPN story that detailed misconduct allegations going beyond Sarver, according to Holmes. In the Dec. 19 article, more than two dozen current and former Phoenix employees gave accounts of misconduct involving Rowley and other team executives.
Suns interim governor Sam Garvin reportedly notified team employees of Rowley’s departure in an internal email.
