Kathy Behrens Plans to Leave NBA League Office After 26 Years
Kathy Behrens, who developed NBA Cares, plans to depart the NBA league office after a 26-year tenure.
Dothan, AL, October 27, 2026 —
Kathy Behrens plans to depart the NBA league office after 26 years, bringing her tenure with the league to a close. Behrens developed NBA Cares, according to the information provided about the planned departure.
The announcement identifies Behrens’s long service and her role in developing NBA Cares, but does not provide a departure date. It also does not specify the circumstances behind the decision, whether Behrens will take on another role, or who may assume her responsibilities.
No further details were provided about the timing of the transition or what it could mean for NBA Cares. The available information therefore establishes the planned departure and the length of Behrens’s tenure, but leaves those questions unanswered.
Behrens’s departure would mark a change at the league office after more than two decades. Further information about the transition, including its schedule and any successor arrangements, was not included in the announcement summary.
