Joe Dumars sold his stake in auto supplier Detroit Technologies to Earle Higgins, another local-area baller who briefly played for the Pacers when they were ABA.

I read this from Crain's, haven't seen it online apart from the link below which
requires some kind of membership fee or doing something illegal:

Just in case you were worried about Dumars not having other business distractions besides being Pistons GM:

JD is slated to be on the board of directors for Strategic Bank of Michigan, a new (or maybe under new management) bank that's focusing on "small and midsize commercial loans and home mortgages".

And, Dumars Travel, his wife's business, had ~$20 million in revenue last year, making it one of the top female-owned businesses in the state.
