Isiah Thomas is still the president of the WNBA’s New York Liberty, but is part ownership application has been suspended by the league per multiple reports.
“After further discussion and with the season underway, the WNBA and the New York Liberty have agreed to suspend consideration of Isiah Thomas’ application for an ownership interest in the Liberty until further notice,” the league posted in a statement on WNBA.com. “The process will resume at a future time as determined by the Liberty.”
WNBA president Laurel J. Richie said when Thomas was hired as president in early May that it was “first and foremost a team decision.”
A committee of six WNBA owners decided that it wasn’t a good look for the league after a jury found Thomas sexually harassed a former team employee during Thomas’ last employment in New York.
