In a crucial moment during an overtime battle with the Phoenix Suns, Denver forward Aaron Gordon seemed to fly to the rim. Analysts are calling it the dunk of the year.

The mortgage executive has agreed to buy a majority stake in the NBA and WNBA teams from Robert Sarver, who is serving a one-year ban from suspension after a report on his toxic behavior.

He missed eight games during his suspension, which happened after he posted a link on social media to a documentary with antisemitic material.

The company's action came a day after the Nets suspended Irving without pay for at least five games for "publicizing the film containing deeply disturbing antisemitic hate."

Basketball star Kyrie Irving posted a clip on Twitter from a film that contained false and antisemitic comments. The post has since been deleted and Irving now faces a suspension of at least 5 games.

The alert was posted after officials discovered an online threat directed broadly at synagogues in New Jersey, a law enforcement official said.

The coach — who led the Celtics to the NBA finals last season — says he accepts the team's decision. The organization cited "violations of team policies" but did not give specifics.

Robert Sarver, who owns 35% of the Suns and Mercury, says he's looking for buyers after he was disciplined by the NBA for abusive behavior. His cited the "unforgiving climate" for his decision.

The NBA says Suns owner Robert Sarver used racially insensitive language in the workplace, treated female employees unequally, made sex-related statements, and sometimes bullied employees.

John Wall has spent more than a decade in NBA and has been named an All-Star. But he says a series of injuries and personal hardships took a toll on his mental state.
