The NBA fined 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey $50,000 on Monday for violating the league's anti-tampering rule.
The league said the fine is in response to a since-deleted social media post that Morey made on December 20 regarding Houston star James Harden. Morey joined the 76ers this fall after 13 years as the Rockets' general manager,
The post in question appears to be an automated tweet in which Morey re-surfaced a message from Dec. 2019 in which Harden broke Calvin Murphy's Rockets franchise assist record.
Harden has reportedly requested a trade from the Rockets and Philadelphia is among the teams that is on the guard's desired destinations.
