Michele Roberts will seek a new contract as executive director of the National Basketball Players Association.

Roberts' original four-year deal expires in September.

Roberts had recently considered staying in the executive director role for only the lifetime of her original contract but she has since decided to extend her stay.

Chris Paul played a significant part in Roberts' hiring in July 2014 and he has built a strong working relationship with Roberts.

The NBA's collective bargaining agreement is signed through 2024.
