Will Weaver, who served as special assistant to 76ers head coach Brett Brown the past two years, has been hired by the Nets and will serve in the same capacity under Kenny Atkinson.
The news was first reported Tuesday night by Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Weaver, who left his job as his wife pursues a fellowship at Columbia University Medical Center, is a candidate to join the Brooklyn Nets staff.
NetsDaily has confirmed the report. Unlike in Philly, Weaver will not have an assistant coach's role.
