The Phoenix Suns and team owner Robert Sarver are the subject of an ESPN investigative piece which paints Sarver as both a rascist and a misogynist.

The story has prompted an investigation by the NBA itself into the allegations and wholesale denials by Sarver and his lawyers.

Quoted by name in the piece is former Suns’ head coach, now Raptors assistant coach, Earl Watson.

In a statement sent out by the Raptors, Watson said he will not comment further on his thoughts about Sarver.

“I am not interested in engaging in an ongoing battle of fact,” Watson said in the statement. “Instead, I want to applaud the courage of the numerous players, executives, and staffers for fighting toxic environments of racial insensitivity, sexual harassment, and micro-aggressions with their truth. Basketball and 17 years in the NBA has allowed me the financial privilege to speak my truth, but we can’t forget about those who must remain silent for fear of losing their jobs.”

Watson just isn’t ready to rehash the experience at this time.

“This has been a traumatic experience, one that has affected me profoundly, and I am not willing to relive it every day,” he wrote. “But I will not forget it, and I will address it more fulsomely at a point in the future when I feel ready.”
