The Utah Jazz have hired longtime NBA executive Danny Ainge to oversee basketball operations.
Ainge stepped down in June as the Boston Celtics’ president of basketball operations, telling reporters then, “I don’t know what my future holds. I don’t have any plans … I’ll think about the future somewhere in the future.”
The Utah Jazz are hiring Danny Ainge as alternate governor and CEO, sources tell ESPN. Ainge will oversee basketball and Justin Zanik will remain GM.
