Phoenix Suns and Mercury owner Robert Sarver said Wednesday that he would begin the process of finding buyers for the basketball teams, after an investigation into his workplace conduct prompted the league to suspend him for a year and fine him $10 million.
The investigation commissioned by the NBA found that Sarver had uttered racial slurs “when recounting the statements of others,” harassed and berated employees, exposed himself and commented on female workers’ bodies and ability to do their jobs after a pregnancy.
