The Utah Jazz announced Thursday that they’re cooperating with an National Basketball Association probe of a claim made by former Jazz player Elijah Millsap that executive VP of basketball operations Dennis Lindsey made bigoted comments during a 2015 meeting.

Millsap made the allegation on social media Wednesday, claiming Lindsey “made bigot remarks in my 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.’” Lindsey said in response, “I categorically deny making that statement.” 

 

Beasley Suspended For 12 Games

The National Basketball Association announced Thursday that Minnesota Timberwolves player Malik Beasley had been suspended for 12 games without pay after he recently pled guilty to a felony charge of threats of violence.
A couple and their 13-year-old child who were house-hunting in September pulled up at the home where Beasley was living and saw the property was roped off. Beasley approached their vehicle and pointed a rifle as he told them to leave. He was sentenced earlier this month to 120 days in jail.
