Sixers Hire Mike Gansey, Elevate Jameer Nelson to Top Deputy
Mike Gansey took over as president of basketball operations for the Philadelphia 76ers last week, replacing Daryl Morey after a second-round playoff exit. The team simultaneously promoted assistant general manager Jameer Nelson, the Philadelphia native and former NBA All-Star, to executive vice president of basketball operations. That move installs him as the clear second-in-command.
