The Philadelphia 76ers are promoting Jameer Nelson to assistant general manager, sources tell ESPN. The 14-year NBA veteran and one-time All-Star is a Pennsylvania native and has served a scout and G League GM for the 76ers since 2020.

Jameer Nelson never played for his hometown team during his 14-year NBA career, but he found a way to join them once he hung up his sneakers. Nelson was promoted into an assistant general manager role with the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

The Philadelphia 76ers will reportedly promote Jameer Nelson to their assistant GM position after his time in the G League.
