Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet has been elected as the new president of the National Basketball Players Association, sources told ESPN, succeeding CJ McCollum of the Washington Wizards.
VanVleet was voted NBPA president during the Board of Player Representatives meeting and will begin a four-year term immediately.
McCollum's term expired and he will transition to an advisory role, sources said.
McCollum, who served as president for the past four years and previously was an executive vice president (2018-21), led the NBPA in negotiations to complete the seven-year collective bargaining agreement in 2023.
