Two weeks after Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison issued a report critical of G. William "Billy" Hunter‘s performance as executive director of the National Basketball Players Association, the players union has placed Hunter on administrative leave.
The decision to sideline Hunter, announced by the New Yorkbased NBPA on Friday through its president Derek Fisher, followed the release of a 469-page Paul Weiss report clearing Hunter of illegal activity but holding him responsible for ethical transgressions that raised questions about how the union conducted business under his leadership.
