The NBA and Utah Jazz's joint investigation into allegations by former player Elijah Millsap found no evidence to support a claim that team executive Dennis Lindsey made a racially insensitive comment in an April 2015 meeting, the league said Monday in a statement.
"The investigation was unable to establish that the alleged statement was made," the NBA said in announcing the findings of the probe.
The inquiry centered on Millsap's allegation in a social media post on Feb. 24 that Lindsey, now Utah's executive vice president of basketball operations, told him "I'll cut your Black ass and send you back to Louisiana," during an end-of-season meeting six years ago.
