The Phoenix Suns are working on a confidential hotline for employees to report complaints as the NBA nears the fourth month of its investigation, according to team sources.
According to sources, an executive from the Suns told colleagues that the reason for creating the internal hotline was because no one uses the NBA hotline. Other NBA teams have internal hotlines.
The Suns didn't reply to the request for comment.
The NBA created a confidential hotline for team and league employees to voice concerns of improper conduct in the wake of allegations of harassment and violence against female employees in the Dallas Mavericks organization.
Mike Bass, an NBA spokesman, said the league had not received a complaint of misconduct at the Suns organization through any of their processes.
The NBA did not reply to the request.
Suns employees were made aware of the NBA's hotline in an email from the team president and CEO. It was noted in the email that the callers have the option to remain anonymous, but a caveat was added that someone could still guess your identity if you make an anonymous complaint.
