Chris Paul anticipated being questioned about Robert Sarver's actions, which led to his one-year ban for displaying racist and misogynistic behaviour and creating a hostile work environment, during the Sun's media day on September 26.
The statements made by CP3 and LeBron James on Wednesday night are similar.
The executive director of the National Basketball Players' Association, Tamika Tremaglio, issued a statement that shared the same opinion.
After defending his choice to punish and suspend Sarver for a year, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver made all of these comments a few hours later.
Silver stated in a press conference that the behaviour was "indefensible." The 18 years that Mr Sarver has owned the Suns and the (WNBA Phoenix) Mercury, as well as the totality of the circumstances, led me to believe that we handled the situation somewhat.
Given that many NBA owners live in glass houses and are reluctant to cast stones, Silver's one-year suspension probably went over well with the folk Silver works for.
Outside that room, it hasn't fared as well, with many claiming Sarver got off lightly in the league and at the Suns' offices. Now, essential players are exposing the league for what it is. Silver might be forced to reevaluate even a one-year suspension if this momentum persists.
