Ainge is back in official NBA capacity

The Utah Jazz are hiring Danny Ainge as alternate governor and CEO, sources tell ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Ainge will oversee basketball and Justin Zanik will remain GM.

Jazz owner Ryan Smith has had a longtime friendship with Ainge, who was a legendary player at BYU. Ainge stepped down as Celtics GM after last season, but now returns with the Jazz to oversee basketball operations and work closely with GM Justin Zanik.
