Phoenix Suns vice chairman and minority owner Jahm Najafi called for majority owner Robert Sarver's resignation in an open letter to team employees released on Thursday night.
Sarver was banned from the NBA for one year and fined $10 million after the NBA on Tuesday released its findings from a 10-month independent investigation into allegations of workplace abuse during Sarver's tenure as managing partner of the Suns that has spanned nearly two decades.
"Similar conduct by any CEO, executive director, president, teacher, coach, or any other position of leadership would warrant immediate termination," Najafi wrote in the letter.
