As in he can't go to the games? But he still owns the team?

Can they suspend Leonsis for mandating mediocrity and picking 9th every year?

What does "suspending an owner" mean.

Long overdue, that game 7 performance on May 16th was a disgrace.

Considering all of the findings, the league is clearly taking it easy on Sarver.

Embarrassing. They should have forced him to sell the team just like the Clippers.

So he can't go to the arena for a year or represent the Suns in any capacity.

I'll say, as a natural introvert, this seems like a reward than punishment. But for a guy like him, it may sting some.

This is akin to sending a kid to their room where they have a TV, computer, and video games. Harsh punishment indeed.

Absolute clown punishment for the league. The man said the N word at least 5 times and Sterling lost his team saying it once. Not to mention disparaging females and men. This is some Deshaun Watson suspension

ESPN has been totally vindicated considering they had the report breaking this story last year
