From Slam:
The Kings are expected to formally announce the hire today, providing recently extended general manager Divac with elite support in the team’s front office.
Divac has been out of the NBA since 2014 and has been working as the president of Independent Sports and Entertainment, an agency with over 300 clients across multiple professional sports leagues.
Dumars, of course, was an iconic NBA player in his own day. SLAM profiled him back when he was still working in Detroit’s front office.
