A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that Detroit Pistons assistant general manager Rob Murphy has been put on leave during an investigation. ESPN is reporting that Murphy is facing an allegation of workplace misconduct involving a former female employee.

The former Syracuse and Kent State assistant was Eastern Michigan’s basketball coach from 2011 to 2021.
