NBA super agent Andy Miller has lost his first notable client amid the recent FBI investigation into NCAA teams relationships with sneaker companies. Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Justin Patton has decided to leave the ASM sports group shortly after Miller had his computer seized in a raid.
Following comes from Jeff Goodman of ESPN.

According to the ASM website, Miller also represents Kyle Lowry, Kristaps Porzingis, Jeff Teague, Myles Turner, Serge Ibaka, Alec Burks and about 20 more NBA talents.
No other big name players have decided to leave the agency as of right now. This could possibly come with some sort of investigation into Creighton, the school Patton attended for one season.
Patton was a part of the 2017 NBA Draft night trade involving Jimmy Butler. The Bulls traded Butler and the 16th pick, which end ended up being Patton, to the Timberwolves for Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine and the 7th pick. Patton is currently healing from an offseason foot injury and has yet to appear in any sort of game for the Timberwolves, exhibition games included.
