In August 2017, Elton Brand started her career in basketball management as the general manager of the 76ers’ NBA Developmental League (D-League) team, the Delaware 87ers.
“Everything I do now, I first did with the 87ers,” said Brand on the NBC Sports Philadelphia telecast of the Pistons exhibition game.
Two years later, not only is Brand the GM for the big club but things are also different with the minor league team he once led.
The D-League is now called the G-League due to a sponsorship deal with Gatorade. The Philadelphia 76ers‘ affiliate is now known as the Blue Coats and instead of playing its games at the University of Delaware, it now has its own arena in Wilmington, the 76ers Fieldhouse.
