Kevin Pritchard has named a replacement for himself.
Pritchard, the Pacers’ president of basketball operations, announced Saturday he has named Chad Buchanan as general manager. Buchanan replaces Pritchard, who in May assumed his current role.
Pritchard also announced that Peter Dinwiddie, the team’s vice president of basketball operations, has been promoted to senior VP of basketball operations.
Buchanan, 44, joins the Pacers after spending the last three seasons as assistant GM for the Charlotte Hornets. He previously spent 10 years with the Portland Trail Blazers as a scout, acting GM (in 2011-12) and director of college scouting.
