The Boston Celtics added to their front office this week, hiring Drew Nicholas as the team’s new Executive Director of Player Personnel, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
Nicholas joins Boston after serving as a scout with the Brooklyn Nets. Prior to his time in Brooklyn, he worked as the Director of Scouting for the Denver Nuggets.
The Celtics’ front office had a key vacancy following the departure of Austin Ainge, who left last month to become the President of Basketball Operations for the Utah Jazz. Ainge spent several years in Boston’s organization, starting as Director of Player Personnel before being promoted to assistant general manager.
