The Delaware Blue Coats, the Philadelphia 76ers' G League affiliate, are hiring Brad Jones as their next general manager, team sources told ESPN.
Jones was selected, sources said, by Sixers president Mike Gansey and executive vice president of basketball operations Jameer Nelson, after former Blue Coats GM Ariana Andonian left to run the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks last month.
Jones began his career with the Orlando Magic when Nelson played there, working his way up from being an intern to serving on the video and personnel staff.
He most recently has worked in the G League offices in New York for the past eight years and was involved in player contracts and transactions, basketball operations and basketball affairs and player personnel.
Delaware went 18-18 last season. The Blue Coats will open the 2026-27 G League season on Nov. 6 at home against the Capital City Go-Go.
