PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia 76ers are moving on from Daryl Morey as president of basketball operations, according to multiple reports.
What we know:
Sixers owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer met with Morey on Tuesday, according to Charania, and "the decision was made to part ways," according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
Morey came on as president of basketball operations in 2020, after more than a decade with the Houston Rockets, as both Assistant General Manager and General Manager.

What's next:
Head Coach Nick Nurse will stay with the team, according to Charania.
