NEW YORK (AP) - Billy Hunter is being placed on an indefinite leave of absence as executive director of the NBA players' association, following a report that was critical of his leadership and decision making.
The union is forming an interim executive committee and advisory committee, president Derek Fisher says in a statement released Friday.
Fisher pushed for the outside review of Hunter and the union, which found no illegal use of funds but cited Hunter for a number of poor choices and urged players to consider whether he should remain in charge during their All-Star weekend meetings.
Fisher says "immediate change is necessary."
Union attorney Ron Klempner was appointed acting executive director.
