Report: Mavericks fire photographer after misconduct complaints surface

The Dallas Mavericks reportedly fired team photographer Danny Bollinger, multiple sources told the Dallas Morning News' Brad Townsend, shortly after it was revealed four anonymous former female employees said the longtime staffer had a history of making lewd comments in the workplace.

Bollinger's inappropriate behavior was not mentioned in the 43-page report produced in September as a result of the wide-ranging sexual harassment investigation within the Mavericks organization, though his name was reportedly brought up by investigators in at least one interview.

Townsend notes the team opened its own investigation into Bollinger approximately two weeks ago after multiple employees came forward.

According to the four women who spoke to the Dallas Morning News, the 50-year-old Bollinger also had a history of propositioning female coworkers.

Townsend notes the photographer had traveled with the team to China this month but was recalled after the organization's investigation confirmed Bollinger's inappropriate behavior. Upon his return, he was fired by team brass Friday.

Bollinger had reportedly worked in the Mavericks organization for over 18 years.
