Source: Portland Trail Blazers VP of basketball operations Neil Olshey facing misconduct investigation

Portland Trail Blazers president of basketball operations Neil Olshey is under an independent investigation commissioned by the team into allegations of workplace misconduct, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Olshey is alleged to have created a hostile work environment, with instances of bullying and intimidation, according to a Yahoo Sports report.

News of the investigation into Olshey was first reported by The Athletic, and comes days after ESPN's reporting of a history of alleged misconduct by Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver.

Olshey, 56, has been a member of the Blazers' front office since 2012 when he took over as GM following nine years in the LA Clippers organization.
