The 76ers are making a significant change at the top.
President of basketball operations Daryl Morey is now out of the organization, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Tuesday night. Morey met with owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer, and the decision was made to go in another direction.
The move comes two days after Philadelphia’s season ended with a whimper in a four-game sweep at the hands of the Knicks in the second round of the NBA playoffs.

Morey took over as Philadelphia’s president in November 2020 after a 13-year run as general manager of the Rockets.
With the shakeup, the 76ers will now be on the hunt for someone to lead their front office as free agency and the NBA draft approach.
