The Brooklyn Nets have released an official statement regarding NBA commissioner Adam Silver’s decision to ban Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life from Clippers-related activities and fine him the maximum allowable $2.5 million:
Today’s announcement by Commissioner Silver sends a strong message that racism and discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated in the NBA family. The Nets organization welcomes and fully supports the decision and remains committed to tolerance and respect for all. We can all be proud that the reaction throughout the NBA – from players, management, ownership and fans – has been unequivocal and united in condemning the scourge of racism.
