Italy’s BC Roma, co-founded by Donnie Nelson and Luka Dončić, has hired longtime Mavericks executive George Killebrew as Via @TheSteinLine on X

What happened: Roma named George Killebrew president of global business operations. He joins after most recently serving as chief revenue officer at Pickleball Inc. following a nearly 30-year run with Dallas.

Why it matters: The move gives Roma an experienced revenue-side executive as the club continues to build its infrastructure around co-founders Donnie Nelson and Luka Doncic. It also extends Roma's recent run of NBA-linked additions after Bryan Colangelo and Chris Mullin joined as advisers last month.

By the numbers: Killebrew's tenure with Dallas lasted nearly three decades before his most recent stop at Pickleball Inc.

What to watch: Watch for further front-office and roster additions as Roma continues shaping its organization for the 2026-27 campaign.
