Views on race Napear has been accused of racism by former players for the Sacramento Kings and has come under fire for defending Donald Sterling, the former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers banned from the NBA after making racist remarks.

On May 31, 2020, after the start of the George Floyd protests, Napear responded on Twitter to former Kings' player DeMarcus Cousins' question regarding Black Lives Matter with the phrase "All lives matter, Every Single One." The following day, Napear apologized, saying he was unaware that All Lives Matter "was counter to what BLM was trying to get across".
