WME Sports has agreed to acquire BDA Sports and have secured Billy Duffy as head of its basketball division.
Duffy's client list includes Luka Doncic, Deandre Ayton, Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and others.
WME made a minority investment into BDA Sports in 2020 and now has acquired the remaining ownership in the agency that Duffy founded in 1998.
"The collaboration and partnership with WME is the best that I can offer my clients," Duffy said. "My philosophy is the long game and caring about your future well beyond your playing days. WME has so many retired athletes who've exceeded their expectations in that area -- and it offers our clients a chance to look at that bigger picture while you're still on the court now.
"To me, this is like a brand-new start, like a new day one. I'm more excited than ever and I plan on continuing to do this for a long time."
