"I'm so proud to be a part of a league committed to progress!" he tweeted on Wednesday.

The Lakers star wasn't thrilled with Sarver's original punishment, which was a $10 million fine and a suspension for this season, and James voiced his thoughts about it.

"Read through the Sarver stories a few times now. I gotta be honest…Our league definitely got this wrong," the four-time MVP tweeted last week. "I don’t need to explain why. Y’all read the stories and decide for yourself. I said it before and I’m gonna say it again, there is no place in this league for that kind of behavior.

"I love this league and I deeply respect our leadership. But this isn’t right. There is no place for misogyny, sexism, and racism in any work place. Don’t matter if you own the team or play for the team. We hold our league up as an example of our values and this aint it."
