Statement from Greg Miller, CEO of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies which owns the Utah Jazz, following the NBA’s press conference with Commissioner Adam Silver on April 29 regarding Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

“On behalf of the Miller family, we support the decisive action by Commissioner Silver and the NBA to reaffirm that there is no place for racism and hatred in our league. The Jazz organization and all the teams in the NBA should act as national leaders in promoting inclusiveness and diversity. We have a responsibility in our communities to fight against discrimination and ignorance and showcase sports as an example of respect and tolerance. While this situation has been inexcusable, I hope it serves the greater purpose of reinforcing our vigilance against this type of behavior.”
