Auburn general manager Brian Kloman has been fired amid an eligibility issue surrounding Lithuanian guard Mantas Rubstavicius, just days before the team's season opener, according to a report from Yahoo Sports.
Rubstavicius, who previously played for Zalgiris Kaunas in the EuroLeague, withdrew his lawsuit against the NCAA on Monday. The 20-year-old is now expected to return to Europe to resume his professional career.
The decision comes as Auburn prepares for its upcoming season. The university has not officially commented on the firing or the specifics of the eligibility dispute.
