MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A Miami Heat executive is under federal investigation for fraud and has been placed on leave by the team.
Chief revenue officer Jeff David, who was hired by the Heat in July, is being investigated for actions taken during his time working for the NBA’s Sacramento Kings.
David, 44, held the same role with the Kings as he does with the Heat.
According to CBS13 in Sacramento, the fraud is connected to the naming rights of the Kings home arena, the Golden 1 Center, which opened in 2016.
Additionally, the Sacramento Bee is reporting that David is suspected of taking $13.
