Daryl Morey, president of basketball operations for the Philadelphia 76ers, has agreed to a contract extension through the 2027-28 season.
Morey’s new coach, Nick Nurse, will be contractually aligned as a result of the agreement.
In his three years on the job, Morey has led the Sixers to a.653 regular-season winning percentage, including a 16-7 start to the 2023-24 season.
Morey navigated an early-season trade to send James Harden to the LA Clippers, gathering assets that the franchise hopes to use in a deal to surround All-NBA center Joel Embiid and guard Tyrese Maxey with a deeper supporting cast and pursue a title.
The Sixers have reached the Eastern Conference semifinals in each of his first three seasons.
Morey arrived in Philadelphia after 14 seasons as Houston’s GM in November 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.
