Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Mike Gansey has been named the Philadelphia 76ers' president of basketball operations, according to multiple reports Friday.
Gansey, 43, replaces Daryl Morey, who parted ways with Philadelphia on May 12 after six seasons as the franchise's top decision-maker for on-court matters.
A former college basketball player at West Virginia who helped the Mountaineers reach the 2005 Elite Eight, Gansey joined Cleveland's front office during the 2011-12 season and steadily rose up the ranks to become the team's general manager in February 2022. The Cavaliers averaged 53.8 wins during Gansey's four full seasons at the helm and reached the Eastern Conference finals this year.
Gansey will report to Josh Harris and the Sixers' ownership group -- Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE) -- as well as to Bob Myers, who as GM and President of the Golden State Warriors was the architect of four NBA championship teamss (2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022). Myers was hired last October as President of Sports for HBSE.
Gansey will lead a franchise that has failed to advance past the Eastern Conference semifinals since 2001. After missing the playoffs in 2024-25 amid injuries to Joel Embiid and other key players, they rebounded to go 45-37 this season and earn the seventh seed in the East. They upset the Boston Celtics in a seven-game first-round series before the New York Knicks swept them out of the conference semis.
