The NBA Players Association is preparing to vote for a new executive director, and Kevin Johnson is no longer part of the process.
The NBA Players Association has narrowed their search for an executive director to three finalists who will each make 45-minute presentations to the players union on Monday, reports Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski. The players will then take an official vote to decide on who will replace former executive director Billy Hunter.
The finalists for the position have not been named.
Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson is no longer leading the committee tasked with selecting a new executive director for the NBPA, reports Wojnarowski. The players association has been without an executive director since Hunter was ousted in 2013, and created a committee to oversee the replacement process in April, 2014. The players are now preparing to override the committee, going straight to a vote on Monday with Johnson no longer leading the process.
Johnson has been a vocal figure for the NBPA and was also active in the effort to keep the Kings in Sacramento. Ron Klempner has served as the stand-in executive director without Hunter.
