Wichita Falls & Lawton, TX, October 27, 2026 —

Kathy Behrens, identified as the developer of NBA Cares, is departing the NBA league office after 26 years, according to the information provided. No departure date or reason was given.

The announcement identifies Behrens with NBA Cares, but does not include further details about her work on the initiative, her responsibilities at the league office, or how those responsibilities may be handled after her departure. It also does not say whether she plans to take another role or what she intends to do next.

The available information does not specify whether the NBA has named a successor, described any transition arrangements, or issued a statement about Behrens’ tenure. No additional details about the circumstances of her departure were provided.

Behrens’ 26-year tenure is the only timeline detail included. The information provided does not give specific dates for when she joined the league office or when NBA Cares was developed, and it does not offer further context about the initiative or its history. Those details therefore cannot be established from the announcement alone.

At this stage, the confirmed information is limited to Behrens’ departure from the NBA league office, her 26 years there, and her identification as the developer of NBA Cares. Further details about the timing, transition, and her plans after leaving were not provided.
