Cuban makes $10M donation after Mavericks investigation reveals 'disturbing' findings

After the NBA released the findings of an investigation into the Dallas Mavericks, the owner of the team pledged to donate $10 million to organizations helping those impacted by domestic violence and encouraging the hiring of women to leadership roles.

Mark Cuban has held himself accountable for the findings, which found 15 females in the basketball organization were harassed by former CEO Terdema Ussery.

“The findings of the independent investigation are disturbing and heartbreaking and no employee in the NBA, or any workplace for that matter, should be subject to the type of working environment described in the report,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement.

“We appreciate that Mark Cuban reacted swiftly, thoroughly and transparently to the allegations first set forth in Sports Illustrated – including the immediate hiring of Cynthia Marshall as CEO to effect change, but as Mark has acknowledged, he is ultimately responsible for the culture and conduct of his employees.”
