Luol Deng Comments on Hawks, Danny Ferry Email Controversy

Co-owner Bruce Levenson is putting the Hawks up for sale after an email he exchanged with Ferry surfaced, in which Levenson used racist language.

As reported by Zach Klein of WSB-TV 2 in Atlanta, the franchise’s minority owner, Michael Gearon Jr., emailed Levenson on June 12. In that email, Gearon called for Ferry to be fired, citing Ferry’s derogatory testimony about Deng that he read off a scouting report during a conference call.
