Ted Wu, Indiana’s vice president of basketball operations and cap management, was part of The Athletic’s 2024 NBA 40 under 40 list. Wu, 36, was hired by the Pacers as an assistant general manager in 2020. He filled the void left by Peter Dinwiddie, the Pacers’ senior VP who left for the Philadelphia 76ers.

Here is what The Athletic said about Wu:

Wu has been with the Pacers for four seasons, since the franchise hired him from the NBA’s league office. Wu was a part of the NBA’s salary cap management team and helped in the 2017 CBA negotiations. He’s taken that knowledge with him to Indianapolis, where he is an important part of the franchise’s strategy and team planning as the Pacers have rebuilt themselves on the fly, through shrewd trades for Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, and reached the Eastern Conference finals this past spring.
