Daryl Morey is out as the president of basketball operations for the Philadelphia 76ers after six seasons with the organization, according to reports from ESPN.
The news follows a meeting on Tuesday evening in Philadelphia between Morey and 76ers managing partners Josh Harris and David Blitzer. During the discussion, the decision was finalized for the parties to part ways. Morey has led the team's front office since 2020, overseeing a high-profile era for the franchise.
During his six-season tenure, Morey was responsible for several major roster shifts, including the blockbuster acquisition of James Harden and the continued building of the roster around franchise cornerstone Joel Embiid. Under his leadership, the 76ers remained a consistent fixture in the Eastern Conference playoffs, though the team famously struggled to advance past the second round during that span.
Before joining Philadelphia, Morey served as the general manager of the Houston Rockets for 13 seasons. His departure marks a significant shift for the 76ers front office as the organization prepares for an offseason of transition. No immediate successor has been named by the team.
