Century City’s International Sports & Entertainment has brought on Joe Dumars, former Detroit Pistons player and general manager, as president of its basketball division, the agency said Tuesday.

Dumars’ hiring comes after the firm in March fired former division president and agent Dan Fegan, whom the company alleged had breached his contract. The split spawned several lawsuits and caused ISE and Fegan to both lose a number of National Basketball Association clients.

Dumars is now tasked with rebuilding the basketball division. A spokeswoman for ISE said that he would be primarily stationed in Los Angeles, though he is also expected to spend time at the agency’s New York office.

Dumars said in a statement that he is looking forward to his new position and working with ISE investor and Yucaipa Cos. founder Ron Burkle, as well as ISE Chief Executive Hank Ratner.

“I know that Ron Burkle and Hank Ratner are committed to doing things first class and together we will continue to build a strong culture at ISE aligned around providing the very best for our clients,” Dumars said.
