Toronto, ON – The Toronto Raptors on Wednesday named former Philadelphia Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski the club's executive vice president of basketball operations.
"Ed Stefanski embodies everything I was hoping to attain when the search began for a top level basketball executive to join our staff," said Toronto GM Bryan Colangelo. "Ed brings to the table experience, smarts, and a great feel for the game and of people."
Stefanski, who was let go by the Sixers' new ownership group last week, had been with Philadelphia for the past four seasons.
Prior to joining the Sixers, Stefanski spent nine seasons with New Jersey, helping build the Nets' back-to-back Eastern Conference Championship teams in 2002 and 2003.
