Bob Myers will have the opportunity to reshape the Sixers in his image.
On Tuesday, the Sixers fired president of basketball operations Daryl Morey after six years, days after the team’s season ended with a second-round sweep by the Knicks.
Myers was hired in October as president of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment—the umbrella company for the 76ers and NHL’s Devils—and will now lead the search to replace Morey. He previously led the Warriors front office from 2012 to 2023.
Head coach Nick Nurse appears safe for now despite Morey’s firing.
Myers will run the Sixers front office while searching for an executive, according to NBA reporter Jake Fischer, who also reported that NBPA executive director Andre Iguodala will not be considered for the role. Iguodala played for Myers in Golden State and spent his first eight seasons in Philadelphia.
