Sixers host Magic looking to remain undefeated
We’d have to go back to the offseason of 2024 for the last time vibes were this high surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers have won consecutive games in the final minute to open the season 2-0 for the first time in five years. Third overall pick VJ Edgecombe has had a historic start to […]
Joel Embiid to miss matchup vs. Magic due to injury management, Dominick Barlow to undergo procedure
It took two games for a Joel Embiid injury update, but this one doesn’t seem too serious. The Sixers released their injury report ahead of their upcoming matchup against the Orlando Magic on Monday, and Embiid appeared on it for the first time this season. He’s been ruled out for that game, with the listed […]
Andre Drummond’s reflective offseason had him ready to save the day
Shortly after the Sixers dispatched the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night, backup center Andre Drummond emerged from the home locker room, wearing a T-shirt and his blue game shorts. His 6-year-old son Deion trailed behind. “C’mon, slowpoke,” Drummond said gently. The two of them would appear to be as close as can be, as indicated by a 2021 […]

The Philadelphia 76ers will take the floor at the Xfinity Mobile Arena for the first time in the 2025-26 regular season, hosting the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night.

VJ Edgecombe sure got the star treatment after his historic NBA debut in Boston on Wednesday. His performance even got him an appearance on Good Morning America the next day. “It was super early after a late game,” the rookie said, “but it was great.” So, what does he have in store for an encore? […]
Sixers unveil this season’s NBA Cup court
Every year now, as part of what was formerly called the In-Season Tournament and is now the NBA Cup, every NBA team plays a handful of games on courts that make us want to shield our eyes while watching from home. Today, the Sixers unveiled their new court design for NBA Cup play. Among all […]
Dominick Barlow sought opportunity in free agency. He might’ve found it with Sixers
First things first, Dominick Barlow had to set the record straight: no, he did not attend St. Joe’s Prep in Philly. Barlow attended Saint Joseph High School in Metuchen, New Jersey, as a freshman before the Hackensack native transferred to Dumont High School. He made it clear back in the early days of training camp […]
This Sixers season isn’t about this Sixers season
For the past eight years, expectations in Philadelphia have been nothing short of sky-high. The 2017–18 season, the dawn of the Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid era, felt like the breakthrough fans had been waiting for. The Sixers had arrived. They’d finally turned the corner, and for the first time in years, it felt like […]
The Sixers showcased true grit in fourth quarter comeback against Celtics
The Sixers were going to lose in Boston. Fans had long been accustomed to that over the previous four decades whether that be in regular season matchups or in the playoffs. On Opening Night on Wednesday, the Sixers trailed the Celtics by 11 entering the fourth quarter. I had made peace with the loss, mentally, […]
Tyrese Maxey had his swagger back in season-opening win
Fans were cautiously hopeful on Wednesday night heading into the Philadelphia 76ers’ season opener in Boston. Coming off an absolute dumpster fire of a 2024-25 season, championship expectations were out the window, but expectations were present for, dare I say (?), fun. The Sixers then rewarded that optimism with a thrilling 117-116 win over the […]
3 takeaways from Sixers’ opening night win in Boston
It feels like yesterday the Sixers landed the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. The debates ensued, but ultimately, the team chose VJ Edgecombe out of Baylor. It’s only one game, but that appears to have been a wise choice by Daryl Morey and company. Edgecombe dropped 34 while Tyrese Maxey poured […]

The No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft VJ Edgecombe made his league debut on Wednesday night in the Philadelphia 76ers’ season opening win against the Boston Celtics. And what a debut it was.

Sixers Bell Ringer: Happy Opening Night and welcome to the NBA, VJ Edgecombe!
Ladies and gentlemen, we are back! The Philadelphia 76ers opened their 2025-2026 season campaign vs. an all-too-familiar foe, the Boston Celtics.

I’m hoisting my Sixers hopes and dreams upon VJ Edgecombe
A decade ago, I was writing for Liberty Ballers as an idealistic college student who knew in his heart of hearts that the Sixers would be a championship team quite soon. Well, a decade later, I am a grouch in his 30s, writing here once again, and the Sixers still have not advanced beyond the […]
5 thoughts ahead of the Sixers’ 2025-26 season
Who else is ready to put the 24-win 2024-25 season behind them? The 2025-26 Philadelphia 76ers sure are. There was little roster turnover in the offseason, but the vibe certainly feels different than a year ago. At this point last year, Joel Embiid and Paul George were both expected to miss a chunk of games […]
