The honors went to Memphis Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Zach Kleiman.
This is the fourth individual award that someone from Cleveland has come up short on this year after such a promising season. If Altman were to have won NBA Basketball Executive of the Year, he would’ve been the second member of the Cavaliers organization to do so after Wayne Embry won the award twice for the 1991-92 and 1997-98 seasons, respectively.
