NBA Unable to Corroborate Alleged Bigoted Comment By Jazz Executive Dennis Lindsey

The NBA investigation into an alleged bigoted comment made by Jazz executive vice Dennis Lindsey toward former Utah forward Elijah Millsap in a 2015 end-of-season meeting has been completed. The league was unable to determine that the alleged statement was made, the league announced Monday.

On Feb. 25, Millsap published a series of posts on Twitter about how bigotry is "still very well present in our country and should be exposed and expunged," adding that Lindsey made bigoted remarks in his exit interview while conversing with head coach Quinn Snyder.

"If you say one more word, I’ll cut your Black ass and send you back to Louisiana," Millsap wrote on Twitter, quoting Lindsey.
