A current employee for the Phoenix Suns has sued the team, alleging discrimination, harassment based on race and unlawful retaliation.

The latest lawsuit was filed by lawyers representing Gene Traylor, the Suns' director of safety, security and risk management who joined the team in January 2023.

Gene Traylor, the safety and training development leader for Player 15 Group, the parent company of the Suns and Mercury, is suing.

Traylor's suit is the latest legal action against the Suns. In November, Andrea Trischan sued the team, alleging racial discrimination and unlawful retaliation that led to her termination.
