Grant Napear Back on Air After Controversy

Grant Napear, the ex-voice of the Sacramento Kings, is back in the spotlight six years after his infamous tweet sparked outrage and cost him his job. Responding to DeMarcus Cousins’ Black Lives Matter question, Napear claimed he hadn’t seen much racism — a remark that ignited backlash from players like Chris Webber and Matt Barnes. Despite insisting his words were misunderstood and not intended to offend, he reignited the controversy by tweeting again on the anniversary, asking if anyone still disagreed. His wrongful termination lawsuit was dismissed in April, and though he briefly returned to Sacramento radio before it was canceled, he’s now pivoting to YouTube and X to keep broadcasting — hoping a new platform might change his fortunes, even as the past continues to haunt him.
