NBA expected to approve Mat Ishbia as new owner of Suns prior to trade deadline

Sources inform The Republic the NBA is expected to approve Mat Ishbia as team owner before Feb. 9 trade deadline.

The NBA is expected to approve billionaire mortgage lender Mat Ishbia as the new owner of the Phoenix Suns franchise before the Feb. 9 trade deadline, sources inform The Republic.The news is significant because the Suns haven’t made any trades so far this season. Interim team governor Sam Garvin, a minority owner, can't make a major move without the approval of majority owner Robert Sarver.

The Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks have been teams showing interest in the veteran forward. Sarver chose to sell the team in September amid the backlash of criticism over his punishment by the NBA. The league suspended Sarver for one year and fined him $10 million for"workplace misconduct and organizational deficiencies'' found during a 10-month investigation.
