Lindsey has worked in the Utah Jazz front office since

While issuing a series of posts Wednesday on Twitter about how bigotry "is still very well present" and is a problem that needs to be addressed, Millsap alleged that Lindsey "made bigot remarks in my exit interview while conversing with Q. Snyder 'if you say one more word, I'll cut your Black ass and send you back to Louisiana.'"

In a statement to the Deseret News about the allegation, Lindsey said: "I categorically deny making that statement."

"I can't fathom Dennis saying something like that," Quin Snyder told reporters after Wednesday's game.

Elijah Millsap is the younger brother of Paul Millsap.
