The Philadelphia 76ers continued their front-office rebuild by naming Mike Gansey the president of basketball operations on Thursday.

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 -- third most in the NBA -- since then.

He replaces Daryl Morey, who parted ways with the Sixers on May 12 after six seasons as the franchise's top decision-maker for on-court matters.

Gansey rose from a basketball operations seasonal assistant in his first year in Cleveland to a key role with the Cavaliers' G League affiliate and to assistant general manager before being named GM.

'Today's 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,' said Josh Harris, the team's managing general partner. 'We are excited to welcome he and his family to Philadelphia.'

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.

'To 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,' Gansey said.

Other front-office moves are expected to follow.
