**Daryl Morey** has been relieved of duties as president of basketball operations with the Sixers after six seasons, [ESPN’s Shams Charania](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48754122/sources-morey-76ers-president-basketball-operations?referrer=scribe) reports.
The decision was made after Morey met with Sixers owners **Josh Harris** and **David Blitzer** met on Tuesday evening in Philadelphia. Head coach **Nick Nurse** will be retained for a fourth season.
Former Warriors executive **Bob Myers**, now the president of sports for Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, will lead the search for the new head executive for the Sixers. Myers will oversee the franchise’s basketball department in the interim.
It’s an unusual decision for ownership to oust a top executive and give the head coach assurances to hold onto his job, rather than let the new executive choose the coach.
More to come…
