Rockets player representative Toney Douglas said he would wait until the players’ association meeting next week before drawing any conclusions or making any recommendation to his teammates about replacing union executive director Billy Hunter.
Hunter was given a paid leave of absence, following an audit of the union’s business practices.
“Until that meeting and we talk about things, it’s up in the air,” Douglas said. “That’s a big, important meeting. The union is all about the players. Obviously, he’ll talk to us. We’ll see how that goes. I can’t speak for everybody. We haven’t had a (team) meeting yet.”
