The Utah Jazz are cooperating with an NBA investigation into former guard Elijah Millsap’s statements on Twitter about executive vice president of basketball operations Dennis Lindsey.

«The Jazz organization has zero tolerance for discriminatory behavior of any kind» Utah Jazz said in a statement. «We take these matters seriously. We have proactively engaged outside counsel to work in coordination with the NBA to thoroughly investigate this matter. We seek a comprehensive and unbiased review of the situation».

Millsap on Twitter told that bigotry “is still very well present”, and on Lindey: «made bigot remarks in my exit interview while conversing with Q. Snyder ‘if you say one more word, I’ll cut your Black ass and send you back to Louisiana».

The probe will include the sharing of detailed notes taken in the April 2015 meeting that was attended by Millsap and three Jazz officials, sources said.
