A New Chapter for Philadelphia
The Philadelphia 76ers announced this week that Mike Gansey will assume the role of president of basketball operations, succeeding Daryl Morey, who stepped down after six seasons that produced a 270‑212 regular‑season record and a 28‑26 playoff slate.
Josh Harris, the team’s managing partner, praised Morey’s contributions and expressed confidence that Gansey’s appointment would bring fresh energy to the organization.
Bob Myers, who has been serving as the interim head of basketball operations, will continue to oversee the department while the search for a permanent replacement for Morey’s former duties unfolds.
Gansey’s hiring signals a shift in the franchise’s approach, though the specifics of any strategic overhaul remain undisclosed.
Industry observers note that the move could influence the 76ers’ roster construction and salary‑cap maneuvers in the coming months, but the front office has kept its plans under wraps.
Fans in Philadelphia and beyond are watching closely, eager to see how the new leadership will shape the team’s trajectory.
The transition also ties into the broader Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment portfolio, which manages the 76ers alongside other properties such as the Cleveland Cavaliers.
