Brad Stevens, not Leon Rose, wins Executive of the Year

Brad Stevens, President of Basketball Operations for the Boston Celtics, has received the NBA’s Executive of the Year for the 2023-24 season. This marks Stevens’ first win of the award since transitioning from the team’s head coach to the executive position three seasons ago.

Under Stevens’ guidance, the Celtics achieved the league’s best record during the regular season, 64-18. His key acquisitions included Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, and he successfully unburdened the team of Grant Williams.

The award was decided by a panel of team basketball executives from across the NBA.
