'This is a situation where they're going to rally around each other and hoop,' Monty Williams said. 'That's what we do. At the same time, these aren't comfortable situations. I understand the sensitivity of everything that's been said or written about ...'
Williams also addressed the notion that this situation is similar to when Donald Sterling got in trouble as team owner of the Los Angeles Clippers for making racist remarks. He noted the difference is there was actual proof of Sterling's remarks in a conversation he had that was recorded.
"I feel like, you know, situations are different," Suns guard Chris Paul, a member of that Clippers team, said."We dealt with that in that time when all that happened. I think right now... we're not insensitive to everything that was said or whatnot, but we don't know all the details. So, the NBA will do its investigation and in that time all of us on our team will continue to play and do what we do.
"The allegations contained in today’s ESPN article are extremely serious, and we have directed the Wachtell Lipton law firm to commence a comprehensive investigation," NBA executive vice president of communications Mike Bass said."The NBA and WNBA remain committed to providing a respectful and inclusive workplace for all employees. Once the investigation is completed, its findings will provide the basis for any league action.
"I'm sure the NBA has it in good hands and will do the proper research to find out the truth." Devin Booker.
