The NBA laid off “dozens” of employees on Thursday, according to Tom Friend of the Sports Business Journal.
Director of Team Business & Partner Communications Mike Wade, a 17-year league employee, was among those laid off.
“We are reallocating resources to our priority business areas, including digital and international growth, and that has resulted in the elimination of a number of positions at the league office,’’ spokesman Mike Bass told SBJ via text.
The report indicated that the layoffs were from departments not focused on revenue generation and that no further cuts are anticipated.
