PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A person familiar with the deal says the Philadelphia 76ers have hired Rod Thorn as their new team president.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal isn’t expected to be announced until Thursday.

The person said on Wednesday night that team president Ed Stefanski will stay on as general manager. Stefanski had held both roles for the past three years.

The hiring was first reported by Yahoo! Sports.

Thorn was president and general manager of the Nets for 10 years before leaving in early July.
