76ers extend prez Morey through ’27-28 season

Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey has agreed on a contract extension through the 2027-2028 season, sources told ESPN on Friday.

The deal aligns Morey contractually with his new coach, Nick Nurse.

Morey has led the Sixers to a .653 regular season winning percentage in his three-plus years on the job, including a 16-7 start to the 2023-2024 season.

Morey navigated an early season trade to send James Harden to the LA Clippers, gathering up assets that the franchise is hopeful to use in a deal to surround All-NBA center Joel Embiid and guard Tyrese Maxey with a deeper supporting cast to pursue a title.

The Sixers have reached the Eastern Conference semifinals in each of his first three seasons on the job.

Morey arrived in Philadelphia after 14 seasons as Houston‘s GM in November of 2020. He has a .624 winning percentage between the two franchises, including nine 50-win seasons and 12 trips to the playoffs. Morey has a 810-489 career record as a GM, fourth in NBA history.
