\n The Charlotte Hornets indefinitely suspended a radio announcer who claimed he accidentally used a racial slur on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

John Focke said his use of the N-word was an unfortunate typo as he commented on the Utah Jazz-Denver Nuggets playoff series<\/a> and the 1-on-1 battle between stars Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray.<\/p>\n

\u201cShot making in his Jazz-[N-word] game<\/a> is awesome! Murray and Mitchell going back and forth what a game!\u201d his tweet said.<\/p>\n

Focke, a first-year announcer and podcast host for the Hornets, apologized. He previously worked games for the NBA\u2019s Minnesota Timberwolves and WNBA\u2019s Minnesota Lynx.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarlier today I made a horrific error while attempting to tweet about the Denver-Utah game,\u201d Focke, who is white, said in a subsequent social media message. \u201cI don\u2019t know how I mistyped, I had (and have) no intention of ever using that word.\u00a0I take full responsibility for my actions. I have been sick to my stomach about it ever since. I\u2019m truly sorry that this happ<\/a>ened and I apologize to those I offended.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team released a statement that read: \u201cThe Charlotte Hornets are aware of the recent social media post by radio broadcaster John Focke. As an organization, we do not condone this type of language. John has been suspended indefinitely as we investigate the matter more closely.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hornets were one of eight teams not invited to restart the NBA season in the bubble at the Disney World Wide World of Sports Complex.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
