5 candidates to replace Daryl Morey as Sixers’ president of basketball operations
The Sixers on Tuesday made the decision to part ways with president of basketball operations Daryl Morey after six seasons. Morey’s tenure had plenty of highs and lows, but he ultimately failed to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, something the franchise hasn’t done in over 25 years now. Bob Myers, who serves as president of […]
There were things out of his control, but Daryl Morey’s tenure had plenty of unforced errors
When Daryl Morey was hired by the Sixers as president of basketball operations immediately following the NBA bubble in 2020, Philadelphia fans rejoiced. It felt like a savior was joining the front office to right the ship and deliver the championship Morey’s former colleague Sam Hinkie longed for when facilitating The Process. Morey was handed […]
Daryl Morey out as Sixers’ president of basketball operations; Nick Nurse stays
Daryl Morey’s tenure in Philadelphia has come to an end. After six seasons as the Sixers’ president of basketball operations, Morey will no longer have that post after meeting with owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer on Tuesday. ESPN’s Shams Charania was the first to report the news. Head coach Nick Nurse will be back […]
Don’t forget about Daryl Morey’s strong draft history
As we all turn the page to the offseason, Sixers fans are now in wait-and-see mode as reports swirl about the uncertain futures of president of basketball operations Daryl Morey and head coach Nick Nurse. What we all know is that the team is stuck in a bit of a holding pattern. As we saw […]
What do the Sixers need? A 2026 Draft preview
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a season of genuine highs and lows. On one hand, the franchise made the postseason just a year after winning only 24 games and pulled off an upset of the rival Boston Celtics. The highs didn’t last long, though. They flamed out in four games to the New York […]
‘Ownership has not made final decisions’ on Morey, Nurse, per report, and other Sixers thoughts
Generally, when a season ends in a sweep, there are going to be questions about the futures of the front office and coaching staff. After the Sixers were crushed by the New York Knicks in Game 4 Sunday, the focus shifts to the culpability of Daryl Morey and Nick Nurse for the team’s quick exit […]
Despite the way things ended, Joel Embiid is optimistic about his health moving forward
Context matters when breaking down sports. “A banged-up Joel Embiid lost in the second round of the NBA Playoffs,” sounds like a familiar story, but that’s only if you ignore everything that’s happened over the last two-plus years. Sure, there was plenty of disappointment after the Sixers were crushed in Game 4 Sunday by the […]
Hours after VJ Edgecombe’s rookie season ended, Sixers share excitement over his future
It’s hard to hear after a division rival took over their building and swept them out of the playoffs, but the 2025-26 season was a pretty high-end outcome for the Sixers. They beat the Boston Celtics in a playoff series, Joel Embiid has felt as good as he has about his left knee since January […]

The Sixers’ season is over
If anyone is looking for a silver lining, this has only enraged Celtics fans more. The 2025-26 Sixers season has finally come to an end. They were destroyed 144-114 in Game 4 by the New York Knicks, completing the second-round series sweep. Joel Embiid looked like the only Sixer ready to unload the clip for […]

Sixers need plenty of improvements to keep season alive in Game 4 vs. Knicks
That was a tough one. After a closely fought Game 2 without Joel Embiid, Game 3 felt like it was going to be a solid chance for the Sixers to get their first win of the series in his return. OG Anunoby, who’s been excellent all around in these playoffs, being sidelined with a hamstring […]
Nick Nurse has no choice but to run his stars into the ground
We all know what the problems are for the Sixers against the Knicks and we all know they can’t be fixed during this series. After losses in Games 2 and 3 against New York, we can no longer simply point to the sub-48-hour turnaround from the first round to the second round as a reason […]
Manpower shortage dooms Sixers; reinforcements needed
Anybody could have had Jalen Brunson in the 2018 NBA Draft. Anybody. The Villanova guard was the 33rd overall choice in that selection process, and has since parlayed his old-man game into four 20 point-per-game seasons and three All-Star appearances. That same June night, the Sixers did have Mikal Bridges, albeit briefly. (Perhaps you’ve heard.) […]

Despite Embiid’s return, Sixers drop Game 3 vs. Knicks, fall down 3-0
Yeah, this is going to be a harder one to come back from. The Sixers were outclassed again by the New York Knicks, falling 108-94 in Game 3 and into a 3-0 series deficit. After missing Game 2, Joel Embiid never looked quite right, finishing with 18 points shooting 7-of-17 from the floor along with […]

Joel Embiid available, OG Anunoby out for Game 3
Fitting with the day-to-day designation he was given, the Sixers injury report lists Joel Embiid (ankle sprain, hip soreness) as questionable for Friday’s Game 3 of their second round series against the Knicks. With Philly down 2-0 in the series to New York, things shift to South Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4 this weekend. […]

You owe it to the Sixers to keep believing in them
After two losses at Madison Square Garden, the Sixers return home for the first time in over a week facing another two-game deficit in a best-of-seven series against one of their rivals. This time it’s a 2-0 hole against the New York Knicks, a series deficit Philly has never been able to dig out of […]
Sixers-Knicks series heads to South Philly for Game 3
Staring down the possibility of a 3-0 series deficit, the 76ers return home to South Philadelphia to host the New York Knicks for Games 3 and 4 of their second-round playoff series. The Sixers trail the Knicks 2-0 in the series thus far after dropping the first two games at Madison Square Garden. Game 1 […]
OG Anunoby’s hamstring injury could change the entire series
After two contests in New York, one that was over by the third quarter and one that came down to the final minutes, the Philadelphia 76ers trail the Knicks in their Eastern Conference Semifinals series, 2-0. Joel Embiid missed Game 2 with hip and ankle injuries and his status remains up in the air moving […]
Sixers need to remedy turnover issues to get back into series vs. Knicks
Throughout the first two games of this series the Knicks have been able to slow down the Sixers’ offense in a way they really hadn’t experienced in their first-round series against Boston. On top of the 4-of-19 shooting performance that sunk them in the fourth quarter of Game 2, they’ve really struggled to take care […]
Dominick Barlow was ready for his playoff moment — another might come soon
When you’re not a mainstay in a playoff rotation, you never know when your number is going to be called. In the case of Dominick Barlow, who played 54 total minutes in the Sixers’ first eight playoff games (mostly in garbage time), he had a decent idea his services would be needed Wednesday night. With […]
