David Levy and the Nets have mutually agreed to split up. Oliver Weisberg, the CEO of Nets’ owner Joe Tsai’s J Tsai Sports and NBA Alternate Governor of the Nets has been named the interim CEO, the team said in a statement released Tuesday.
“I want to thank David for his collaboration over the past several months and wish him well in his future endeavors,” Weisberg said in the statement. “As we enter an exciting next chapter of our organization, it’s important that ownership and management are completely aligned on our go forward plan.
We are proud of the culture of the Brooklyn Nets under the leadership of General Manager Sean Marks and Head Coach Kenny Atkinson, and we look forward to continue bringing the best experience to our fans.”
Ex-Nets’ CEO Levy took the job on Sept. 18, meaning he held the position for just 55 days. He was hired after Tsai finalized the deal to take ownership of the team.
“David Levy is a respected media executive and a friend,” Tsai wrote on Twitter Tuesday. “Truly appreciate his efforts in the past few months. I wish him well in his next endeavors.”
Levy was formerly the president of Turner Broadcasting and he replaced ex-Nets’ interim CEO Brett Yormak.
