- Daryl Morey is out as president of basketball operations for the Philadelphia 76ers after six seasons, per a statement from managing partner Josh Harris.
- Nick Nurse will remain as head coach of the 76ers, as confirmed in the same announcement.
- Bob Myers, a four‑time championship architect with the Golden State Warriors, will oversee the basketball department in the interim and lead the search for a new head executive.
- Philadelphia 76ers posted a 270‑212 record, five playoff berths, but never advanced beyond the second round and have not reached the conference finals since 2001 under Morey.
Why it matters: Philadelphia owners gain a fresh strategic direction, while Morey loses his top role; Myers’ appointment puts a proven championship architect in charge of the interim, influencing upcoming contracts exceeding $400 million and future roster decisions.
