The U.S. Attorney’s office is investigating the authenticity of a National Basketball Players Association contract that authorized future payment of more than $3 million to an investment firm that employed the son of executive director Billy Hunter, sources told Yahoo! Sports.

One of the focuses of the probe centers on the legitimacy of the signatures on the union’s document with the company, Prim Capital, including those of the NBPA’s late general counsel Gary Hall and NBPA director of player services Purvis Short, sources said.
