Since hiring general manager Monte McNair in 2020, Wes Wilcox has been his lead assistant GM with the Sacramento Kings. Given the tumultuous nature of their 2024-25 season, which included firing head coach Mike Brown and trading De’Aaron Fox mid-season, there were questions about the future of the front office.

On Tuesday morning, Pete Thamel announced that the University of Utah “is targeting veteran NBA executive Wes Wilcox to be the school’s men’s basketball general manager.” It’s a surprising twist that rarely occurs in this order, as pointed out by Thamel.

If Wes Wilcox officially accepts the offer from the University of Utah, questions still remain about the future of McNair, and even interim head coach Doug Christie.

In a season filled with change, Wes Wilcox is the latest 2024-24 Sacramento Kings member to find a new home. Utah went 16-16 this most recent season, including 8-12 in Big 12 conference play.
