Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver suspended, fined $10 million after investigation finds conduct 'clearly violated' workplace standards

The NBA fined the owner of the Phoenix Suns $10 million and suspended him for a year because of an investigation into the team.

During his time with the Suns/Mercury organization, he used the N-word at least five times, according to the NBA.

Sex-related comments and inappropriate comments on employees' appearances were included in the NBA's statement.

An investigation was commissioned by the NBA after a story was published detailing allegations of racism and misogynistic behavior by the owner of the team.

As a result of the suspension, he is not allowed to be around any NBA or WNBA facility. He can't represent the Suns or Mercury in a public or private way.
