CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—The Charlotte Bobcats’ radio announcer is one of several people to lose their jobs in cost cuts for owner Michael Jordan’s team amid the NBA lockout.
Play-by-play man Scott Lauer was let go this week. The team’s director of corporate communications, the manager of community relations and at least four others have been laid off in the past week.
A Bobcats spokesman declined comment, saying the team doesn’t discuss personnel matters.
Jordan bought the money-losing team last year after being a part-owner for four years. Since last summer, Jordan has signed off on a number of moves that reduced player payroll while gaining future draft picks and salary-cap space.
The NBA has locked out its players since July 1 after failing to reach a labor deal with the players union.
