NBA Kings President Chris Granger Leaving Team For "Big Opportunity"

NBA Kings President Chris Granger is leaving the organization after joining the team in '13. Granger, who previously led the NBA's team marketing and business operations division, does not yet have a new job. “I’m leaving to look for a new, big opportunity,” he said. “I’d like to do something with multiple teams with a global focus and with an ability to impact a region. Broadly, I want to do something impactful and honestly, something bigger than what I am doing now.”

The Kings said that the management team will be led by COO Matina Kolokotronis, with CFO John Rinehart promoted to President of Business Operations, effective immediately. Granger will remain with the team for one month through a transition period.
