Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver is set to be interviewed by the lawyers leading the investigation into him and the franchise, according to ESPN's Baxter Holmes.

The NBA launched an investigation into Sarver and the Suns last November after ESPN published an in-depth report featuring “allegations of racism and misogyny in a sometimes hostile and toxic workplace in Phoenix during Sarver's 17-year tenure.” Holmes reports more than 300 people have been interviewed already, and now the man at the center of it all is set to be questioned.

Here are more details about the investigation:

The lawyers have asked about specific allegations in the ESPN report, which was based on interviews with more than 70 current and former employees. Employees have confirmed a range of published allegations while introducing others, sources said, and have provided the investigators with documents, specifically emails.

Current and former employees have interviewed with investigators, and some even multiple times. In addition to the interviews, the Suns have reportedly “granted access to internal emails and human resources records.”

It's unclear just how long it's going to take for this investigation to be completed. Interviewing Sarver is obviously a huge step, though the Suns owner will surely be in deny, deny, deny mode. He pushed back hard when the initial allegations came to light.

Meanwhile, this investigation hasn't been a distraction for the Suns on the court. Phoenix holds the best record in the NBA at 50-12. Of course, no matter how good the team is, there must be serious consequences for Sarver and the organization if these allegations are proven true.
