To cut to the quick, Phoenix Suns President and CEO Jason Rowley stated during a Thursday live stream that the report that anyone associated with the Phoenix Suns organization — including owner Robert Sarver — threatened the city of Phoenix with relocating the Suns to any other city were “100% false.”
”We have been 100% committed to getting this deal done with the city of Phoenix,” he said. ”We’ve been partners with the city of Phoenix for 27 years in this building.” He said that the Suns’ relationship with the city has been “extremely strong” and “Any characterization that this relationship is either strained or that we’re in some type of state of dispute or conflict is absolutely not accurate.
