Back in February, a bombshell report dropped regarding workplace misconduct and sexual harassment in the front office of the Dallas Mavericks. In response, the organization has hired a new CEO, Cynthia Marshall, and an investigation regarding the allegations made in the report, which described the Mavericks’ front office as “a real-life Animal House,” was launched.

The investigation has gone on for several months, but on Wednesday afternoon, the results were made public. The NBA’s findings also reportedly includes that the Mavericks organization included “serious workplace misconduct by former and current employees,” and “improper or ineffective management.” Beyond that, the league’s final report indicates 15 current and former employees were able to substantiate claims centering on inappropriate behavior from former Mavericks president and CEO Terdema Ussery.

Wojnarowski reported that Mavs owner Mark Cuban agreed, in tandem with the league, to donate $10 million (a figure larger than the maximum fine levied from the league itself) to organizations combating domestic violence.


In addition, Wojnarowski reported that the organization will be required to make internal changes in an effort to improve what was a toxic workplace culture.

According to The Dallas Morning News, Marshall and Anne Milgram, who ran point on the investigation, will hold a news conference later this afternoon to announce the final results and shed additional light on the situation.
