Latest news and updates about the 76ers
For the third consecutive year, the Sixers have failed to hit that vaunted 50-win total in the regular season. They have not held home-court advantage in a playoff series since Doc Rivers was here. Joel Embiid is dealing with yet another crushing injury, one in a long line of them that have defined his career. […]
It’s fun to play the “What if…” game sometimes in sports. Sometimes, certain scenarios are worth remembering in the event of future transactions that would serve as a reminder of one team’s initial interest in a particular player. If for nothing else, it creates some fun dialogue amongst fans. As we prepare for Philadelphia’s clash […]
A sentiment I’ve seen expressed towards Philadelphia’s participation in the NBA Play-In Tournament, both in person and online, is apathy. The line of thinking goes that the Sixers aren’t at all likely to win the title this year, so why worry if the season ends this week or if it is prolonged until after a […]
Fate is a complex concept. Maybe you believe in it, thinking something beyond your worldly perception is pulling you in a certain direction. Perhaps you’re skeptical, steadfast in the belief that your destiny is what you make it. Dominick Barlow is quick to dismiss it. “I don’t believe in fate at all,” he told Liberty Ballers […]
With the Sixers taking care of business against the Milwaukee Bucks (so long, Doc Rivers) and the Orlando Magic losing to the Hospital Celtics, we’ll have meaningful basketball in South Philly this week. The Sixers will host the Magic in the 7-8 play-in game Wednesday at Xfinity Mobile Arena. It’s simple: win and the Sixers […]
As Kyle wrote in the preview, this game had legitimate stakes—a win for the Philadelphia 76ers (and other results) could have them move up to sixth place and avoid the play-in game(s), but a loss could have them in the 9-10 game against the Miami Heat. For the first half, the Bucks handled this well, […]
The East is set: After an unexpected win over the Magic in their Sunday regular season finale at TD Garden, the Celtics start the 2026 NBA Playoffs as the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference and are +550 at FanDuel to raise Banner 19. The Magic will now travel to Philadelphia to play in the […]
The Bucks fell flat in their season finale, suffering a double-digit blowout against the Philadelphia 76ers. Seeking to play spoiler against a Sixers team fighting for the six seed, the Bucks started strong in the first half.

Due to injuries suffered in the last game, Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle were ruled out. As a result, Dylan Harper and Luke Kornet started in their places. After outscoring the Blazers 32-23 at […]
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off two disappointing losses, with their postseason chances tanking. They’ll now look to stop the bleeding in what’s shaping up to be a true must-win game, traveling to Houston to take on the Rockets. The Rockets, as many know at this point, have had what’s best described as a hot-and-cold […]
Last Monday, the Spurs showcased 2014 Spurs NBA Champion Boris Diaw at the Frost Bank Center during their matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. He treated the crowd to a reenactment of his now iconic photo. On Wednesday night, the Portland Trail Blazers came to town, bringing back former players Sidy Cissoko, Blake Wesley, and head […]

Victor Wembanyama may miss some time after a rib injury scare in the San Antonio Spurs 115-102 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Reports indicate Wembanyama’s injury isn’t serious, and he will likely suit up for the one required game he has to play to qualify for end-of-season awards. However, he will likely miss the Spurs’ […]
As we near another NBA postseason, the Sixers are likely going to be one of the teams participating in the Eastern Conference half of the bracket, either being the sixth seed or via the play-in. But it feels like the noise around the franchise entering the playoffs is sounding much quieter than previous postseasons. Of […]
I guess it’s a useful exercise, as we tiptoe ever closer to the promised land, to take one more quick glance at the abyss. A Victor Wembanyama injury, short term, long term, chronic, you name it, is the proverbial other shoe waiting to drop. It’s not an anchor that weighs the franchise down, and it’s […]
The Philadelphia 76ers suffered a disappointing defeat on Monday night to a San Antonio Spurs club that lost star Victor Wembanyama to a rib injury midway through the game. The loss moved Philadelphia out of a tie with Toronto and down into the seventh seed, which would mean an entry in the Play-In Tournament rather […]
‘Twas the night(s) before the playoffs, when all through the Frost Bank Center;Not a creature was stirring, not even The Coyote;The banners were hung by the rafters with care;In hopes that Victor Wembanyama’s ribs healing soon would be there; “The children were nestled all snug in their beds,While visions of Manu Ginóbili’s fractured elbow on […]
Spurs star center Victor Wembanyama did not return for the second half of Monday night’s game between the Spurs and 76ers. Early in the second quarter, Wemby collided with Philadelphia’s Paul George at the half-court line. Victor initially exited the game and headed off court, but returned toward the end of the first half. His […]
For a moment, everything stopped. Inside the Frost Bank Center, the buzz of a marquee matchup, Victor Wembanyama versus Joel Embiid, gave way to silence as Wembanyama walked slowly toward the locker room, his night cut short before halftime. It should have been the turning point, but it became something else entirely. The San Antonio Spurs didn’t flinch. They […]
