Morey traded future Hall of Famer James Harden to the Los Angeles Clippers earlier this season. The Sixers are 16-7. They are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
“Daryl is one of the best front office executives in sports and I greatly value his leadership,” Josh Harris, Sixers Managing Partner, said. “I’m thrilled to have reached an agreement to extend his contract and look forward to working together to maximize our chances of competing for an NBA title.”
Morey’s .653 winning percentage through his first three seasons with the Sixers represents the best mark in franchise history. Philadelphia is led by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, two of the best players in the NBA.
