Breaking: Daryl Morey is out as president of basketball operations with the Philadelphia 76ers after six seasons, source

What happened: The Philadelphia 76ers are parting ways with Daryl Morey as president of basketball operations after six seasons, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania. Morey met with owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening, where the decision was finalized. The move ends a tenure that reshaped the franchise's roster and front-office direction.

Why it matters: Morey's exit signals a full reset atop basketball operations for a 76ers franchise that has cycled through stars and coaches without breaking past the second round. The departure raises immediate questions about roster direction, pending free-agency calls, and the org's next basketball voice. Ownership's willingness to move on after six seasons suggests a deeper structural rethink rather than a routine front-office tweak.

What to watch: Watch for Harris and Blitzer's search process and any interim leadership announcement in the coming days. Coaching status and roster decisions are the next dominoes to track.
