The Detroit Pistons have hired ex-NBA forward Pat Garrity as their new director of strategic planning, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Garrity has had a successful post-playing career in the financial industry and reunites with Pistons president and coach Stan Van Gundy in Detroit.

Garrity, 38, played 10 years in the NBA, including nine with the Orlando Magic. After two torn ACL injuries, he retired after Van Gundy's first season with the Magic in 2008. Garrity, a graduate of Notre Dame and Duke's Fuqua School of Business, was a high-ranking officer in the National Basketball Players Association for eight years.
