Chapter 459: Chapter 76: The Sun Also Rises

Three hours after the prosecution's announcement, David Stern held an emergency press conference at the Grand Hyatt New York, stating that the NBA would never tolerate drug issues.

David Stern explained that the league had always conducted drug urine tests on its players, and so far, the test results for James Edwards and others had come back negative, showing no issues.

However, if the charges brought by the prosecutors were established, the league would show no clemency, and several active Suns players would face lifetime bans.

When asked by reporters whether this large-scale drug incident would affect the franchise rights of the Phoenix Suns, Stern firmly stood by the team, saying, "These issues are serious, but it seems more like a family that didn't realize there was a problem inside. Now that the problem has been exposed, we will solve it rather than break up the family."
