Projected No. 1 (no.) Victor Wembanyama, the top pick of the LNB Pro A's championship series, lost Game 3 of the LNB Pro A's championship series 92-85. With 22 points, seven rebounds, and four blocks, Wembanyama put on a good showing, but it wasn't enough to keep his team from being swept. Game 3 - and 4 if they had won - were changed from a 4,000-seat venue to Court Philippe Chatrier at Roland Garros, home to the French Open tennis championship, which has more than 14,000.

Robert Sarver, the suspended Phoenix Suns owner, should resign after NBA investigators' finding that he used racist, misogynistic, and lewd words in the workplace when bullying employees, according to team vice chairman Jahm Najafi in an open letter on Thursday. Sarver's behavior, according to an ESPN article last year that prompted the league to launch an investigation into him, should have "zero tolerance" for the Suns' minorities, according to the Suns minority owner, who was more specific in an ESPN study last year that prompted the league to launch an investigation into his conduct. In his tweeting, Najafi reiterated that he had "no intention" in becoming the team's managing partner. Sarver was banned for one year and fined $10 million by the NBA on Tuesday after a 10-month probe revealed that the Suns owner had used racist words, made crude and sexually suggestive remarks to staff, and had bullying tendencies.

Unless one major conclusion by investigators, Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver was likely to receive even more punishment by the NBA for his racial, misogynistic, and hostile words and conduct, according to Commissioner Adam Silver. Sarver's use of slurs 'was not motivated by racial animus,' according to the law firm who spent almost a year investigating the situation.' Sarver's punishment - a one-year suspension and a $10 million fine - would have been much more severe if that wasn't the case, Silver explained.

Following a league probe into allegations of him using racial insults, creating an inequitable work environment for women, and engaging in harsh and demeaning treatment of employees, Phoenix Suns and Mercury owner Robert Sarver has been suspended for one year and fined $10 million. The NBA revealed on Tuesday that Sarver used the n-word on at least five occasions during his time as owner of the Suns and WNBA's Mercury. ' Mr. Sarver 'engaged in conduct that clearly breached common employment laws, as shown in team and League rules and policies,' read the league's statement.' 'This behavior included the use of racially insensitive words; unethical treatment of female employees; sex-related remark and conduct; and shaming employees, which may have constituted bullying.'
