Clippers President Andy Roeser taking indefinite leave of absence

The NBA announced Tuesday that Los Angeles Clippers President Andy Roeser will be taking an indefinite leave of absence, effective immediately.

The announcement comes on the heels of the NBA announcing recently that they will appoint a chief executive officer to supervise the team’s operations.

Mike Bass, Executive Vice President, Communications, said, "This will provide an opportunity for a new CEO to begin on a clean slate and for the team to stabilize under difficult circumstances.”
