The Philadelphia 76ers have been granted permission to interview Golden State Warriors assistant general manager Larry Harris, Houston Rockets vice president Gersson Rosas, and Utah Jazz executive Justin Zanik for their open GM position, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Sixers have been without a full-time general manager since Bryan Colangelo resigned following his social media scandal in the spring. In the interim, a triumvirate of Ned Cohen, Marc Eversley, and Elton Brand have been assisting head coach Brett Brown with GM duties.

Harris has been an assistant to Warriors president of basketball operations Bob Myers since 2015. He previously served as general manager of the Milwaukee Bucks from 2003-08. Zanik also worked with the Bucks before joining the Jazz in 2016. Rosas has been Daryl Morey's right-hand man in Houston for the last decade, interrupted by a brief tenure with the Dallas Mavericks.

"We're going to have a pretty selective list," 76ers managing partner Josh Harris said. "This is not going to be huge tournament. We're going to talk to some people who aren't sitting GMs who could add value to our situation."
