PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers have removed Elton Brand from his role as general manager and elevated Jameer Nelson to the post, marking a major front-office change for the franchise.
The move, reported Sunday, June 7, 2026, comes as part of a broader organizational shake-up. Brand, a former All-Star forward, had served as GM since 2018. Nelson, who joined the basketball operations department after a 14-year NBA playing career, had been working under Brand before receiving the promotion.
Additional details regarding the reasons for Brand’s departure or the length of Nelson’s new contract were not disclosed at the time of the report.
