76ers Lock in Daryl Morey Through 2027-2028 Season

In a move signaling a commitment to their future success, the Philadelphia 76ers have inked a contract extension with Daryl Morey, the mastermind behind their basketball operations. Sources confirmed this exciting development to ESPN on Friday.


Winning Streaks and Strategic Moves


Since taking the reins over three years ago, Morey has orchestrated an impressive regular season winning percentage of .653. The 2023-2024 season is off to a stellar start with a 16-7 record under his leadership.

A notable highlight was the early-season trade that saw James Harden heading to the LA Clippers. Morey strategically gathered valuable assets, fueling hopes of bolstering the team around All-NBA center Joel Embiid and rising star Tyrese Maxey for a championship pursuit.

Consistent Excellence

Under Morey's guidance, the Sixers have consistently reached the Eastern Conference semifinals in each of the past three seasons. This extension aligns his contract with the team's new head coach, Nick Nurse, setting the stage for a unified vision.

A Proven Track Record

Daryl Morey joined the 76ers in 2020 after an impressive 14-season stint as Houston's GM. His cumulative winning percentage stands at .624 between the two franchises, featuring nine 50-win seasons and a remarkable 12 playoff appearances.

With a career record of 810-489 as a GM, Morey currently ranks fourth in NBA history, a testament to his strategic acumen and commitment to building winning teams.
