The NBA reportedly told the Sixers that Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin could help the team “more than ever” after selling his ownership stake, and Rubin admitted that he had been “violating every rule the NBA had” while still an owner, per @YaronWeitzman and @ginamizell: “Speaking at the MIT Sloan Conference Friday morning, Rubin quipped that he was ‘violating every rule the NBA had’ while part of the Sixers’ ownership group. That included taking bets on the Sixers when Fanatics entered that space, and having NBA players such as Joel Embiid, James Harden, LeBron James, Chris Paul, and Kevin Durant as Fanatics investors.” “To that point, according to multiple sources, the league office recently told Harris that Rubin, freed from the constraints of the league’s collective bargaining agreement and anti-tampering laws, will be able to help the Sixers more than ever.” (via foxsports.com/stories/nba/mi…│ inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-m…)
