Jahm Najafi, the Phoenix Suns’ second largest stakeholder, called for the resignation of owner Robert Sarver two days after Sarver received a one-year ban from the NBA over workplace misconduct.
Najafi called for Sarver’s resignation in an open letter penned to Suns fans on Thursday. The Suns governor said in the statement that he will work to find a new managing partner. He added that he does not seek to be Sarver’s replacement as the owner of the Suns.
“In accordance with my commitment to helping eradicate any form of racism, sexism and bias, as Vice Chairman of the Phoenix Suns, I am calling for the resignation of Robert Sarver,” Najafi wrote in a statement.
