Former All-Star guard Jameer Nelson has been promoted to general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers’ G League affiliate in Delaware.

Nelson – who spent 14 seasons in the NBA with five teams – has progressed steadily within the Sixers organization since arriving three years ago. Prior to this elevation, Nelson had been the assistant general manager of the Delaware Blue Coats and a scout for the 76ers.

Nelson succeeds Prosper Karangwa as general manager of the G League team. Karangwa took on a larger role in the Sixers front office after winning a G League title last year, sources said.

Nelson has a beloved history in the Philadelphia area as a player from nearby Chester who became a first-round NBA draft pick out of the city’s Saint Joseph’s University. He was an All-Star in 2009 for the Magic, the franchise that drafted him 20th overall in 2004 out of the Atlantic 10 school.
