Ex-NBA player Bibby faces allegations of sexual misconduct
Police are investigating sexual abuse and harassment accusations made by a teacher against former University of Arizona and NBA player
Mike Bibby, according to officials in the suburban Phoenix school district where he had been a high school coach.
Paradise Valley Unified School District officials said Tuesday that Bibby was terminated from his coaching position at Shadow Mountain High School after they received a copy of a restraining order a teacher brought against him.
"Upon receipt of the Injunction Against Harassment, PVSchools notified Mr. Bibby that his volunteer status had changed from eligible to ineligible, pending the outcomes of the Phoenix PD and internal investigations," district spokeswoman
Becky Kelbaugh said in an emailed statement.
She declined to comment on whether Bibby had been a volunteer coach during his entire six-year stint.
Jeff, Stan Van Gundy calling first game together

The game between the New Orleans Pelicans and Los Angeles Lakers will also be the first time the Van Gundy brothers have been on the same broadcast.

76ers' Marjanovic, Embiid out vs. Thunder
Philadelphia 76ers center Boban Marjanovic suffered a bone bruise and mild sprain of his right knee in a collision with Pelicans forward Cheick
Diallo Monday, and will be evaluated again within the week.
Marjanovic has helped fill the void in the middle created by the absence of 7-foot All-Star Joel
Embiid, who has missed all three of Philadelphia's games since the All-Star break with a sore left knee.
Marjanovic and Embiid will both sit out Thursday's game at Oklahoma City.
