Recently retired four-time NBA champion Andre Iguodala has been named the new acting executive director of the National Basketball Players Association, replacing Tamika Tremaglio, a person with direct knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.
The person requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly until the NBPA made an official announcement.
This comes as a surprise, at least from the outside. Tremaglio has been in the role for less than two years. She took over for Michele Roberts in January of 2022 and helped the players negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement with the NBA.
However, Tremaglio began discussing her possible departure after a new CBA was ratified.
Iguodala just announced his retirement as an NBA player three weeks ago after a successful 19-year career with the Philadelphia 76ers, Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat. He was part of four championships with Golden State (2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022) and earned Finals MVP in 2015. In that ‘15 series against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he provided offense and helped slow down LeBron James when Warriors coach Steve Kerr inserted Iguodala into the starting lineup after Cleveland took a 2-1 series lead.
Iguodala, who was involved in the NBPA’s executive board as a player, said he planned to focus on business projects, including a venture capital firm he runs with a business partner.
