Former Suns coach Earl J. Watson released a statement Thursday following ESPN's bombshell report in which over 70 former and current Suns employees described a toxic workplace created by Robert Sarver, the owner of Phoenix's NBA and WNBA teams.
Watson served as an assistant or head coach with the Suns 2015 to 2017, and spoke out about Sarver's misconduct in the ESPN report.
"I am not interested in engaging in an ongoing battle of fact. Instead, I want to applaud the courage of numerous players, executives, and staffers for fighting toxic environments of racial insensitivity, sexual harassment, and micro-aggressions with their truth," his statement said.
