Grant Williams has joined the National Basketball Players Association’s (NBPA) board of directors, according to a release by the player’s union. The Boston Celtics forward joins retired NBA player Jalen Rose and veteran Cleveland Cavaliers floor general Ricky Rubio as new additions to the board.
New Orleans Pelicans guard C.J. McCollum is the board president, and Tamika L. Tremaglio is the executive director. Others on the board are Golden State Warriors veteran swingman Andre Iguodala, ex-NBA Vice President for Player Development Chrysa Chin and Milwaukee Bucks big man Serge Ibaka.
“Ricky, Grant, and Jalen each bring unique experiences and perspectives, both on and off the court, which will undoubtedly enrich our board,” NBPA Foundation Executive Director Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said in the release.
