He played collegiately at West Virginia, where he was a first-team All-Big East selection. Gansey previously served as GM for the Cleveland Charge of the NBA\u2019s G League.<\/p>\n<p>He replaces Morey, who was fired earlier this month after the 76ers were eliminated in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>The 76ers were <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/knicks-76ers-score-2e9baad5e8200adad5d1ca494156804b\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">easily ousted by the New York Knicks<\/a> to end Morey\u2019s sixth season in charge, and the organization quickly decided that someone else would lead the basketball operations department.<\/p>\n<p>The Sixers went 270-212 in the regular season under Morey but just 28-26 in the postseason, failing to advance past the second round. They returned to the playoffs this season after missing them for the only time in Morey\u2019s tenure in 2024-25, when they went 24-58.<\/p>\n<p>Bob Myers, the former Golden State Warriors general manager, led the search for Morey\u2019s replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Myers built the Golden State teams that won NBA championships in 2015, \u201917, \u201918 and \u201922. He worked as a commentator at ESPN after leaving the Warriors before joining Harris Blitzer Sports &amp; Entertainment in October 2025 as president of sports.<\/p>\n<p>His first major move with the Sixers is adding Gansey to the front office. The 76ers decided when they fired Morey to keep Nick Nurse as their coach.<\/p>\n<p>Gansey worked under Cleveland President Koby Altman and helped shaped the Cavaliers into an Eastern Conference playoff team.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP NBA: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/nba\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/nba<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 The Philadelphia 76ers have found their replacement for Daryl Morey and have agreed to hire&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":831627,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[40],"tags":[1339,1260,6326,3579,196,62,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-831626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-basketball","tag-nba","tag-nba-basketball","tag-nba-playoffs","tag-s","tag-sports","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116661777039213753","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/831626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=831626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/831626\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/831627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=831626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=831626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=831626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
