The Detroit Pistons placed assistant general manager Rob Murphy on leave from the organization after an internal claim of workplace misconduct in connection with a former female employee, according to multiple media reports on Thursday.
Murphy received a promotion to assistant general manager earlier this year after previously holding the title of president and general manager of the G-League affiliate Motor City Cruise.
He spent 20 years prior as a college coach, recently at Eastern Michigan for a 10-year stint during which he compiled a 166-155 record.
The Pistons’ investigation follows the season-long suspension of Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka following an improper workplace relationship with a female employee.
