Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum has been elected as the president of the National Basketball Players Association, succeeding two-term president Chris Paul, the union announced on Saturday.
McCollum has been a vice president on the NBPA's executive committee since 2018 and has been deeply involved in union decision-making and negotiations with the NBA.
He begins the presidency with an ongoing search to find a successor to NBPA executive director Michele Roberts, who has led the union since 2014.
