Byron Spruell - NBA President, League Operations

Is very excited about The NBA Future Basketball Operations Stars program. The program is designed to develop future diverse basketball operations leaders who identify as women and/or people of color for front office & team opportunities. The program will provide a unique hands-on learning and professional development immersion experience with training and full-time team exposure. Trainees will also participate in virtual educational sessions & assist league operations in executing select NBA events such as the draft combine & summer league. The Business and Basketball Training program was designed to promote & increase diversity in key business areas. Diversity and Inclusion are essential to the future success of the game. The mission statement is to make the game of basketball and business of the NBA synonymous with the principles of inclusion and continue to challenge themselves to do more to achieve it. The foundation has awarded more than 22 million in grants to 78 nonprofit organizations since December 2020.
