The Sixers did something they haven’t been doing — they won ugly

Zach LaVine’s heave that fell wide to secure the Sixers 113-111 win over the Sacramento Kings could only bring more feelings of relief than joy. Despite it feeling prophesied that the Sixers must take every game down to the wire, they were 10-point favorites in this one. They were taking on a lottery team with […]

Joel Embiid sends clear message to Sixers front office ahead of trade deadline

With the NBA trade deadline less than a week away, surely you’re thinking it: The Sixers better not duck the tax this year. Over the past several seasons, the Sixers have made moves to dip below the NBA’s luxury tax. Some deals were less egregious, but last year’s salary-dumping of KJ Martin to the Detroit […]

Sixers, Maxey reportedly on Giannis’ ‘radar,’ but team hasn’t called Bucks

Shockwaves were felt across the NBA on Wednesday when ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the Milwaukee Bucks were, for the first time, genuinely listening to trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo. A number of teams have since been linked to the former Finals MVP, with Miami, New York, Minnesota and Golden State emerging as the most […]

Sixers host Sacramento Kings for Thursday night clash

The Philadelphia 76ers split their early-week back-to-back, losing to the Charlotte Hornets before beating the Milwaukee Bucks at home. Now they’ll face another team dealing with its own issues, the Sacramento Kings, for the first time this season. Man, oh man. Where do I even start breaking down this team? Fans who were around for […]

Tyrese Maxey will be an All-Star starter for the first time in February. VJ Edgecombe has been electric as a rookie and will be a Rising Star during All-Star festivities in a few weeks as well. Things are looking both good now and for the future when it comes to the Sixers’ backcourt, so much […]

Can Joel Embiid win over Philly again?

Joel Embiid is doing things I never imagined he’d do again. After an MVP campaign in 2023, an All-World performance in 2024 that was cut short due to injury and a disastrous season for both him and the franchise all around last year, I was pretty out on this whole ordeal. Oh, the Sixers added […]

Sixers’ offense hums as they win 25th game vs. Giannis-less Bucks

When you adjust for snowstorms this has been a great start to the week for the Sixers. Philadelphia bounced back with a decisive 139-122 win over the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday night. Paul George, just shy of the franchise record for three-pointers in a game, dropped a game-high 32 points with five rebounds and five assists […]

Grimes out, Embiid, PG available for Sixers-Bucks

UPDATE 7 p.m. ET: Quentin Grimes has been downgraded to out for Tuesday hosting the Bucks, listed with a right ankle sprain. Joel Embiid remains questionable and Paul George is still probable (both for left knee injury management) with just over an hour before tipoff. It’s fitting that someone got dinged up in the worst […]

Sixers host Giannis-less Bucks to close back-to-back

Just over 24 hours removed from being absolutely demolished by the Charlotte Hornets, the Philadelphia 76ers are back in action on Tuesday night to host the Milwaukee Bucks sans Giannis Antetokounmpo. It’s a good thing there’s a quick turnaround here. I don’t think the Sixers want more time to dwell on their last contest. On […]

VJ Edgecombe selected as NBA Rising Star during All-Star weekend

At least something positive happened for the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. Following the disastrous loss to Charlotte in the afternoon, the league announced the participants for the 2026 NBA Rising Stars competition during All-Star weekend. Sixers guard VJ Edgecombe will rightfully be a member of the Rookies squad. Here’s the list of all participants: As […]

So, did they only tell Kelly Oubre Jr. the time of the game had been moved up? The Sixers turned in their worst performance of the season, getting boat raced 130-93 by the Charlotte Hornets Monday afternoon. Tyrese Maxey had perhaps the worst game of his career, finishing with just six points and six assists […]

The Sixers need to keep Kelly Oubre for at least the remainder of the season

The Sixers are in an interesting spot as the trade deadline approaches. They look good enough on certain nights to be a real contender in an Eastern Conference that appears to be wide open. While their record isn’t stellar, they’re still above .500 and the 2025-26 season has given fans a sliver of hope, both […]

The Sixers narrowly lost at home to the Knicks, 112–109, Saturday. The team left shortly after the game to avoid the massive snowstorm sweeping across much of the East.

Looking at the calls and explanations of the late officiating in Sixers-Knicks

The final minute or so of the Saturday afternoon contest between the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks was an absolute cluster that seemingly took 15 minutes real time because of a number of puzzling officiating calls. After the marathon ending, the Sixers ultimately fell 112-109 hosting the Knicks. Let me get this out of […]
