The NBA has recently asked a law firm to investigate the Phoenix Suns after a report published on Thursday detailed allegations that Phoenix Suns owner; Robert Sarver has a history of racist, misogynistic and hostile incidents during his 17-year tenure in charge of the NBA franchise.

Since the release of the report, 60-year-old Sarver, an Arizona real estate developer, has repeatedly denied the allegations made in the report and offered his own statement.

On the evening of October 30, 2016, at Talking Stick Resort Arena in downtown Phoenix, Earl Watson, in just his third game as the Suns’ head coach, faced a tall task: beat the powerhouse Golden State Warriors.

After the loss, Suns majority owner Robert Sarver entered the coaches locker room, Watson told ESPN.
