Less than two months ago, David Levy was named CEO of the Brooklyn Nets, replacing Brett Yormark, who departed when Joe Tsai took over as Nets governor after Mikhail Prokhorov sold the rest of his stakes in the team.
On Tuesday, both the Nets and Barclays Center had a mutual separation with Levy. In his place, Oliver Weisberg will serve as the organization’s interim CEO.
Weisberg had been serving as the NBA alternate governor of the Nets and the CEO of J Tsai Sports.
With the announcement, Weisberg released the following statement:
I want to thank David for his collaboration over the past several months and wish him well in his future endeavors. 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.
Joe Tsai took to Twitter to release his own statement:
David Levy is a respected media executive and a friend. Truly appreciate his efforts in the past few months. I wish him well in his next endeavors.
