After two previous stints in the Spurs‘ front office, veteran executive Danny Ferry has returned to the franchise as a basketball operations consultant, according to a press release from the club.
Ferry finished his playing career in San Antonio from 2000-03, then spent two years in the Spurs’ front office from 2003-05 before later rejoining the team in a VP of basketball operations role from 2010-12. He also previously served as the Cavaliers’ general manager, the Hawks’ president of basketball operations, and – most recently – the Pelicans’ interim general manager.
Ferry was one of a handful of basketball operations additions and promotions announced today by the Spurs, who also hired Samson Kayode as their director of player evaluation and assistant GM of the Austin Spurs. Kayode had spent the last four years working as assistant director for the USA Basketball men’s national team.
San Antonio also announced the addition of Hao Meng as director of strategic analysis and basketball insight.
