He has been suspended for one year and fined $10 million, which is the maximum permitted by the NBA's constitution and bylaws. He will be unable to be present at any NBA or WNBA event, activity, or facility, as well as any involvement with the business or operations of either Arizona team. NBA stated that Sarver"cooperated fully" with the investigation process. The release states that, despite the confirmed misconduct,"Mr. Sarver informed the investigators of his personal and professional efforts to promote diversity, equity and inclusion" and that his actions were not racially or gender biased or done with hostile intent.
