Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils owner Josh Harris has been named in a New York Times report regarding possible ethics violations by White House advisor Jared Kushner.

Harris, the founder of Apollo Global Management, met with Kushner on multiple occasions, sources told the Times' Jesse Drucker, Kate Kelly, and Ben Protess, in regard to a possible job for Harris in the White House. While that job did not materialize, Apollo reportedly loaned $184 million to Kushner’s family firm, Kushner Companies.

The loan could be a potential ethics issue due to Kushner’s decision not to divest from his private business interests when he took on an official role in the White House as senior advisor to President Donald Trump. Kushner, who is also Trump's son-in-law, recently had his top-secret clearance downgraded by the National Security Council.

Harris has an estimated net worth of $3 billion. He became managing partner of the 76ers in 2011 and majority owner of the Devils in 2013.
