Summary
Gene Traylor, the director of safety, security, and risk management for the Phoenix Suns, is suing the team for discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, marking the fourth lawsuit from a current or former employee in seven months. Traylor claims he faced retaliation after presenting concerning incidents related to the Suns and Mercury in 2023, leading to his demotion in 2024. The lawsuit also alleges that the team failed critical security field tests and multiple audits, which the Suns have denied, calling the allegations “delusional and categorically false.”
