76ers reportedly part ways with Daryl Morey after another disappointing season
Daryl Morey failed to win a championship in six seasons with the 76ers.
After cutting his teeth with the Houston Rockets, Daryl Morey was supposed to take the next step in his career and lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a championship. Instead, the team endured ups and down during Morey’s tenure, leading to the executive’s reported dismissal on Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. The news ends Morey’s six-year run with the franchise.

Former Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers, who now works as president of sports for the Sixers’ parent company, will act as interim GM and lead the search for Morey’s replacement.
Morey faced massive expectations when he joined the 76ers. After leading the Rockets to a ton of success during his tenure, Morey was supposed to be the missing piece that would push the 76ers to a championship. With Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons playing a near-MVP levels, Morey’s use of analytics and smart decision-making was expected to bolster an already strong 76ers team.
