Jazz Hire Danny Ainge To Oversee Basketball Operations
The Utah Jazz have hired Danny Ainge to oversee basketball operations while also naming him alternate governor and CEO of Jazz Basketball and the Smith Entertainment Group.
Ainge will work closely with Utah general manager Justin Zanik.
“Rarely do you get an opportunity to come into a franchise that is this close to being a special team,” Ainge told ESPN. “It’s a very unique opportunity for all of those reasons.”
Ainge stepped down as president of basketball operations for the Boston Celtics in June.
