Will Robert Sarver be forced to sell the Phoenix Suns, like Donald Sterling had to do with the Los Angeles Clippers in 2014? The owner, a billionaire businessman, is expected to be at the center of an investigation soon to be published by ESPN. According to the American journalist Jordan Schultz, who hosts a podcast with the president of the Players Union CJ McCollum, it would evoke facts of sexual harassment, racism and sexism.

The Suns reacted even before the investigation was published with a series of tweets consisting of denials from general manager James Jones (“Nothing that is being said corresponds to the Robert Sarver whom I know, respect and appreciate. This is simply wrong ”), co-owner Jason Rowley and Sarver himself. “I am totally in shock”, begins the latter, which is declared “In particular proud of the figures on diversity and inclusion in both teams (he is also the owner of the Phoenix Mercury in WNBA) in the field and in the offices. “
