NBPA’s Hunter fires daughter

Executive director Billy Hunter has fired his daughter and daughter-in-law from the National Basketball Players’ Association, less than two weeks after a review criticized his hiring practices.

In a letter to the union’s special committee of players, dated Jan. 23, Hunter informed it that Robyn Hunter was to be let go as of Jan. 25. Megan Inaba will stay on through the All-Star break to help coordinate activities in Houston before leaving her job on Feb. 17.

“Hopefully this decision will alleviate any concerns raised by their employment,” Hunter wrote.

“These measures are being taken although the report noted that both of them were highly qualified, not overpaid, and were contributing members of the NBPA staff.”
