Sources: Pistons assistant GM Rob Murphy on leave amid investigation into alleged misconduct
Detroit Pistons assistant general manager Rob Murphy is on leave after the organization commenced an investigation into an allegation of workplace misconduct involving a female former employee, sources told ESPN on Thursday night.
Murphy, 50, has been out of the Pistons' offices for approximately a week on leave after management was made aware of the allegation and started a probe, sources told ESPN.
Murphy, who is from Detroit, was promoted to assistant GM in June after starting as the franchise's G League president and general manager in March 2021. He had spent the previous two decades as a college coach, including 10 years at Eastern Michigan as head coach until 2021.
