Sixers May Fire Daryl Morey, Nick Nurse After Celtics Sweep
Boston's sweep puts Sixers president Daryl Morey and coach Nick Nurse on the edge, sparking a franchise-wide overhaul.
The Philadelphia 76ers were swept 4-0 by the Boston Celtics in the first round, and the loss has immediately put president Daryl Morey and head coach Nick Nurse on the franchise’s hot seat, according to multiple insiders. Morey’s analytics-driven rebuild, which has emphasized three-point shooting and cap flexibility, has yet to translate into deep playoff runs. Nurse’s defensive-oriented system, praised in regular-season play, faltered against Boston’s relentless pressure, exposing gaps in execution and roster depth.
