NBA players are collectively calling for a lifetime ban of Suns owner Robert Sarver.

The 60-year-old was suspended for one year and fined $10 million on Tuesday following a report that found he used the N-word at least five times “when recounting the statements of others;” made inappropriate sex-related comments about the physical appearance of women; made inappropriate physical contact toward men; and displayed demeaning and harsh treatment of employees, which included yelling and cursing at them.

The NBA’s punishment immediately drew wide-scale criticism from both inside and outside the league for being too soft. Notably, Chris Paul and LeBron James denounced the decision as light, and Suns minority owner Jahm Najafi has called for Sarver to resign. PayPal, the team’s jersey patch partner, said it would not renew its partnership with the Suns if Sarver remains in his role.

The pushback has now taken another significant step forward.

“We are absolutely calling for that [lifetime ban],” National Basketball Players Association executive director Tamika Tremaglio, who claimed she was speaking on behalf of NBA players, said Friday on ESPN’s NBA Today. “We do not want him to be in a position where he is managing or engaging with individuals who are engaging with our players or the players themselves. We are absolutely clear from the findings that are in the report that we do not want him to be in that position.”

Tremaglio, however, made it clear that the players have not yet had discussions about boycotting games.

“We have not had those discussions as of yet,” Tremaglio said. “We are all gearing up for a season. … But I think it is very clear that our players are incredibly upset about what has occurred. Their hearts go out to the families and all of the individuals who have actually had to endure this for such a long period of time. But at the same time they recognize that they have a job to do and they are really excited about moving forward with the season.”

Tremaglio claimed that she expressed the players’ view directly to commissioner Adam Silver, who was ridiculed when explaining the justification for the light punishment during a press conference.

Silver claimed that Sarver’s actions did not rise to the level of ex-Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who lost the team in 2014 after TMZ released a recording of him telling his girlfriend that it bothered him that she was “associating with black people” after posing and posting a picture with Magic Johnson.

Players did not boycott games at the time, but protested by wearing their warmups inside out to hide the team logos. It remains unclear if NBA players are planning similar actions.

“I don’t know how open [Silver] is in terms of wanting to make the change,” Tremaglio said. “I think it is our hope that it will be very clear that Mr. Sarver should not be able to be in a position to come back and be in a managerial position. We’ve heard from other owners. We’ve heard from sponsors, etc. I think it’s pretty clear that there’s no expectation from him returning.”
