Now entering his sixth season in the role, Morey has led the franchise to consistent postseason success, achieving the highest win percentage over a three-year span in team history and spearheading strong draft performances, including the selections of Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain. 

Across his 18-year career as an NBA executive, Morey has built one of the league’s most respected front-office résumés. Between tenures with the Houston Rockets and the 76ers, Morey’s teams have compiled a record of 865-575 (.601), ranking him among the top five winningest executives in NBA history with at least 1,000 games of experience.
