PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- The Philadelphia 76ers have fired president Daryl Morey
and decided to keep Nick Nurse as their coach after the team was swept in the
Eastern Conference semifinals, a person familiar with the decision told The
Associated Press on Tuesday night.
The 76ers were easily ousted by the New York Knicks to end Morey's sixth season
in charge, and the organization quickly decided that someone else would lead
the basketball operations department.
Bob Myers, the former Golden State Warriors general manager, will lead the
search for Morey's replacement and will oversee the department in the interim,
the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because Morey's
departure had not been announced.
