The Philadelphia 76ers continued their front-office rebuild by naming Mike Gansey the president of basketball operations on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Gansey, 43, comes to Philadelphia after 15 seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers organization. He was promoted to general manager on Feb. 23, 2022, and the Cavaliers have won 259 games \u2014 third most in the NBA \u2014 since then.<\/p>\n

He replaces Daryl Morey, who parted ways with the Sixers on May 12 after six seasons as the franchise\u2019s top decision-maker for on-court matters.<\/p>\n

Gansey rose from a basketball operations seasonal assistant in his first year in Cleveland to a key role with the Cavaliers\u2019 G League affiliate and to assistant general manager before being named GM.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s announcement of the hiring of Mike Gansey is an important step in our desire to take the Philadelphia 76ers to the next level. Mike has built a reputation as a tremendous leader and relentless worker who has a sharp eye for basketball talent,\u201d said Josh Harris, the team\u2019s managing general partner. \u201cWe are excited to welcome he and his family to Philadelphia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gansey said he is ready to get to work. The 76ers have not won an NBA title since 1983 and most recently played in the NBA Finals in 2001.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the fans, this is not a responsibility I take lightly. The energy and dedication you pour into the 76ers will fuel us, and the work begins immediately as we position ourselves for the draft, free agency, next season, and beyond,\u201d Gansey said.<\/p>\n

Other front-office moves are expected to follow.<\/p>\n
