Here’s what the NBA commissioner told Utah Jazz players after the Russell Westbrook incident

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver revealed in an NBA Finals news conference that he spoke with Jazz players in the wake of the Russell Westbrook heckling incident this March.

“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," Silver said. “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,” Silver said.
