Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey has agreed to a contract extension through the 2027-28 season, sources told ESPN on Friday.

The deal contractually aligns Morey with his new coach, Nick Nurse.

Morey has led the Sixers to a .653 regular season winning percentage in his three years on the job, including a 16-7 start to the 2023-24 season.

Morey negotiated an early-season trade to send James Harden to the LA Clippers, bringing together assets the franchise hopes to use in a deal to surround All-NBA center Joel Embiid and keep Tyrese Maxey with a deeper supporting cast to continue a title.

The Sixers reached the Eastern Conference semifinals in each of his first three seasons.

Morey arrived in Philadelphia after 14 seasons as Houston's general manager 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 an 810-489 career record as a general manager, fourth-most in NBA history.
