Morey had spent the last six seasons running the show for the 76ers, but owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer made the decision to move on from the 2018 NBA executive of the year.

Nick Nurse will remain in his role as 76ers head coach, per Charania.

Former Golden State Warriors executive Bob Myers will be tasked with finding the team’s new top decision-maker and will oversee basketball operations in the interim.

Philadelphia finished the 2025-26 regular season seventh in the Eastern Conference with a 45-37 record. It then upset the Boston Celtics in the first round of the NBA playoffs before being swept by the New York Knicks.

Morey was hired by the 76ers in November 2020 after spending 13 seasons as general manager of the Houston Rockets.

During his tenure in Houston, Morey did not have a losing record and made the playoffs nine times. The Rockets advanced to the Western Conference Finals in 2025 and 2018.
