Najafi said in his statement, 'I have no interesting in becoming the managing partner.'

In the days after the NBA released its report, Jahm Najafi, the Suns' second-largest stakeholder, called for Sarver's resignation. Suns star and former NBPA president Chris Paul, who also played for the Clippers in 2014, said, ' I am of the view that the sanctions fell short in truly addressing what we can all agree was atrocious behavior.' I love the league and I deeply respect our leadership. Similarly, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James tweeted last week, 'There is no place in this league for that kind of behavior. We want to make it very clear that we do not want him back in a position where he will be impacting our players and those who serve our players on a daily basis,” she said. In an appearance on ESPN's 'NBA Today,' NBPA executive director Tamika Tremaglio called for a lifetime ban this past Friday. The NBPA was among the league's harshest critics. Given the volume of accusations and evidence, the NBA came under heavy criticism for not banning Sarver for life, as it had done in light of then-Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's racist remarks in 2014. 'I accept the consequences of the NBA’s decision,' he added, vowing to 'learn and grow' in his absence. I am sorry for causing this pain, and these errors in judgment are not consistent with my personal philosophy or my values.'

In the immediate aftermath of his suspension and fine, Sarver said last week in a statement, 'While I disagree with some of the particulars of the NBA’s report, I would like to apologize for my words and actions that offended our employees. The investigation laid out in detail dozens more offenses. In one example, according to the report, he threatened a pregnant employee's role because her 'baby needs their mom, not their father,' and then called a meeting with a lawyer who told the woman that Sarver 'had done nothing wrong.' On another occasion, he 'exposed his genitals to a male employee who was on his knees,' the report said. The investigation uncovered an extensive list of instances in which Sarver was found to harass male and female employees. Among the most damning findings from 320 interviews and the review of more than 80,000 documents was evidence that Sarver 'said the N-word at least five times in repeating or purporting to repeat what a Black person said,' despite multiple warnings that 'he could never say the N-word, even when quoting someone else.' The NBA last week released a 43-page report based on an independent law firm's 10-month investigation into allegations of racism, misogyny and other workplace misconduct against Sarver. 'We agree that Robert Sarver's decision to sell the Suns and Mercury is in the best interest of the organization and community,' the statement reads. The Suns themselves released a statement on behalf of team management in support of the pending sale. Sarver for making a swift decision that was in the best interest of our sports community.” McCollum was similarly brief, but satisfied. National Basketball Players Association president C.J. 'This is the right next step for the organization and community,' he said. NBA commissioner Adam Silver issued a two-sentence statement later on Tuesday saying that he fully supported the decision.
