Utah Jazz Fan Who Received Lifetime Ban Suing Team And Russell Westbrook

The team came together and had a lengthy conversation about the incident. One discussion included NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.

Silver stated:

I spoke directly to the players on that team, as a team…

I wanted to make sure they were satisfied with the way it was handled. They seemed to be satisfied, as well.

I told them that I appreciated the way that they had handled it and that it was not going to be tolerated in the NBA, and that we also appreciated the way they had come together with management and ownership of that team.

I felt their response was spot on.”

One part of that response was Jazz owner Gail Miller’s pregame address to fans that week. “This should never happen. We are not a racist community,” she said. “We believe in treating people with courtesy and respect as human beings.”
