Overview
- The 76ers ended Daryl Morey’s six-year tenure Tuesday following Sunday’s four-game sweep by the Knicks in the East semifinals.
- Bob Myers, the former Warriors architect and now HBSE sports president, will oversee basketball operations on an interim basis and lead the executive search.
- Nick Nurse will return as head coach for a fourth season, with ownership opting for continuity on the bench.
- Philadelphia went 270-212 with five playoff trips under Morey but never reached the Eastern Conference finals.
- Recent flashpoints included Joel Embiid publicly calling out Morey and criticism of the Jared McCain-for-picks trade, as the next leader inherits a top-heavy cap tied to Joel Embiid and Paul George and must build depth around Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe.
