Dr. DeLuca previously served as the team’s head physician from 1997 to 2018, formerly holding the same role with the Philadelphia Flyers.
The appointment comes after Philadelphia-based Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, who had served as the team’s orthopedic provider since 2004, broke ties with the team, citing future malpractice risks.
Dr. DeLuca formerly worked as an orthopedic surgeon at Rothman but now sees patients at the Livingston (N.J.) Surgery Center.
The team’s current head team physician and chief medical officer is Arsh Dhanota, MD, a sports medicine specialist at Philadelphia-based Penn Medicine.
