Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens has been named the 2025-26 NBA Basketball Executive of the Year, per @ShamsCharania. This marks the second time Stevens has received the prestigious honor in his career as a front-office executive.
Stevens previously won the award during the 2023-24 season. Since transitioning from his role as head coach to the front office, Stevens has been credited with maintaining the Celtics as a premier contender through aggressive roster management and strategic player acquisitions that have kept the franchise at the top of the league.
The NBA Basketball Executive of the Year award is unique in that it is determined by a vote of the league's 30 team executives rather than media members. It recognizes the individual who has made the most significant contribution to their team's success during the regular season. Stevens' latest win highlights the continued excellence of the Boston organization under his leadership.
Full voting results and additional details regarding the Celtics' front-office achievements are expected to be released by the league later today.
