Sam Garvin was approved by Adam Silver to be the interim Governor of the Suns. It was :55.
According to sources, Sam Garvin, vice chairman and minority owner of the Phoenix Suns, has been named the team's interim governor.
Sources said that Adam Silver gave the go-ahead for Garvin's ascension to that position.
An investigation found that he used the N-word at least five times and that he was fined $10 million.
There were instances of inequitable conduct toward female employees, including sex- related comments and inappropriate comments on employees' appearances.
In 2007, Garvin became the Suns' alternate governor and has been a minority owner ever since.
The NBA commissioned a law firm to conduct an investigation after a story was published about allegations of racism and misogynistic behavior by the owner.
A group of 13 minority owners signed a statement in support of Sarver.
The NBA would be appointing an interim governor, according to sources.
While the NBA stated that he "cooperated fully with the investigative process," league sources said that he was unaccepting of the idea that he deserved a one-year suspension and a $10 million fine. Sources said that the part of the process that became acrimonious was the punishment.
