NBA fines 76ers, Daryl Morey for his tweets about Stephen and Seth Curry

The Philadelphia 76ers and president of basketball operations Daryl Morey were each fined $75,000 by the league over Morey’s recent tweets about Stephen Curry, the NBA announced on Monday afternoon.

The tweets, the league said, violated its anti-tampering rule.

Daryl Morey told Steph Curry to 'join' his brother Seth in a tweet

The tweets in question came on June 3, one day after the 76ers closed out their opening-round playoff series with the Washington Wizards.

Morey took a screenshot of Stephen’s Instagram post from the night before praising his brother, 76ers guard Seth Curry. Seth, in their 129-112 win, put up 30 points while shooting 10-of-17 from the field.

Morey took a photo of Stephen’s post and added the caption, “join ’em.”

That tweet and caption on its own could clearly been viewed as Morey trying to recruit Seth’s brother to Philadelphia — something that is an obvious violation of the anti-tampering rule.

Morey, however, tried to make it clear that wasn’t the case not even five minutes later in a follow-up tweet.

Morey is in his first season with the 76ers after a 13-year run in the same position with the Houston Rockets.
