Jazz assistant general manager Justin Zanik among 76ers GM candidates

Utah Jazz assistant general manager Justin Zanik is getting another shot at one of the NBA’s 30 top jobs.

Zanik has been named one of three candidates in the Philadelphia 76ers’ general manager search, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Besides Zanik, the Sixers are also interviewing Houston’s Gersson Rojas and Golden State’s Larry Harris.

Originally a player agent, Zanik was hired in 2012 by Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey as assistant general manager. In 2016, Zanik took a position with the Milwaukee Bucks, agreeing to be promoted to the GM spot once former Bucks GM John Hammond left.
