Report: Daryl Morey Stepping Down as Rockets General Manager

Rockets general manager Daryl Morey is resigning from the role after 13 seasons with Houston, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Morey will not take a job with another NBA team at this time. He is "increasingly determined to explore what else might interest him professionally," per Wojnarowski. Morey still plans to remain with the Rockets in an "advisory role," for a brief period as Houston completes its coaching search.

Morey's decision marks the second high-profile departure from the Rockets in 2020. Former head coach Mike D'Antoni left the organization on Sept. 13, though he remains interested in continuing his NBA career.
