Sixers’ offense sluggish in matinee loss to Heat
Who amongst us hasn’t started out sluggish early on a Sunday? The Sixers lost to the Miami Heat 127-117 Sunday afternoon. Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers in scoring, putting up 27 points on 10-of-27 shooting. He played the whole game tugging at his shoulder, and went back to the locker room holding it once the […]

Sixers host Heat in Sunday matinee
It’s a big sports Sunday for the city of Philadelphia. The Eagles are in Dallas and kids across the City of Brotherly Love are boxing giant punching bags sporting the faces of Cowboys players. The Union are hosting a single-elimination quarterfinals playoff match tonight against New York City FC. First, though, the Sixers are looking […]
Edgecombe, Embiid, Bona all out for Sunday vs. Heat
The Philadelphia 76ers injury report for Sunday’s afternoon contest against the Miami Heat is out. There is a handful of names on it — some expected, some not so expected. Let’s go through it. The biggest surprise of the injury report is the appearance of rookie VJ Edgecombe, who is questionable for Sunday afternoon with […]
Tyrese Maxey Foundation hosts largest turkey giveaway yet, hands out 3,000 meals in North Philadelphia
Tyrese Maxey is making an impact. And no, I’m not talking about putting up a career-high 54 points for the Philadelphia 76ers just a few days ago in their win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Saturday morning in North Philadelphia, the Sixers’ guard was putting up even bigger numbers. For the fourth year in a row, […]
Why Tyrese Maxey’s hot start is a great lesson
It was Game 5 at Madison Square Garden. The Sixers were beaten and battered, trailing the series 3-1 to New York. Joel Embiid was essentially playing on one leg and battling Bell’s Palsy. With the Knicks holding a six-point lead with 28.9 seconds left, it felt like it was over — the series, the season, […]
If nothing else, let’s appreciate this Tyrese Maxey season
In the wake of Tyrese Maxey’s career-high 54 points in Philadelphia’s overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks, it’s time to stop and reassess the season we’re watching unfold from the 25-year-old guard. Now at 33.4 points per game, he’s second in the league in scoring behind Luka Doncic (34.6 ppg). He’s far and away leading […]
The wildest stats from Tyrese Maxey’s career night against the Bucks
Tyrese Maxey had an unforgettable night Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. In the Sixers’ 123-114 overtime win, he scored a career-high 54 points on 18-of-30 shooting (including 6-of-15 from deep) and chipped in nine assists, five rebounds, three steals and three blocks as well. In doing so, he joined some historic company. According to the […]
Tyrese Maxey is singlehandedly setting a new standard for the Sixers
The Sixers dedicated their offseason to making sure they wouldn’t replicate their 24-win season from a year ago, regardless of who is or isn’t available to play on any given night. Tyrese Maxey, who takes up the burden of carrying a shorthanded team more than anyone else in the organization, came into the season with […]

Maxey drops career-high 54, Cardiac Sixers do it again with OT win over Bucks
It’s possible these jerseys literally turned Tyrese Maxey into 2001 Allen Iverson. The Sixers outlasted the Milwaukee Bucks to beat them 123-114 in overtime Thursday night. Maxey looked every bit the franchise icon, dropping a career-high 54 points. He did it so on 18-of-30 shooting along with nine assists. Paul George was the only other […]

Sixers hope to finish back-to-back strong vs. Giannis-less Bucks
The Sixers put together another late, hard-fought effort on Wednesday, but ultimately still lost to the Raptors, 121-112, after clawing their way back in the fourth. After a host of turnovers and losing the third quarter 44-26, their scrappy effort in the final period just wasn’t enough to make up for it. Now, to complete […]

Latest comeback comes up short as Sixers doomed by another bad third quarter
As it turns out, some third quarters can be bad enough to completely sink you. The Sixers fell 121-112 to the Toronto Raptors Wednesday night. Tyrese Maxey, once again the game’s leading scorer, went for 24 points shooting 8-of-14 from the floor along with two boards and nine assists. Quentin Grimes went for 21 — […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. out at least two weeks with LCL sprain
It wouldn’t be a Philadelphia 76ers’ season without some truly unlucky non-contact injuries. As if they weren’t shorthanded enough as it is, the Sixers will now be without Kelly Oubre Jr. for at least two weeks, the team announced on Wednesday evening. The Sixers have confirmed that Oubre hyperextended his left knee in the second […]

Does Nick Nurse have an alternative to playing the guards this much?
As the Sixers navigate through a four-game week, the temperature around the team seems to have cooled a bit. They’ve lost four of their last seven following a 5-1 start. Joel Embiid hasn’t played in over a week, Paul George made his season debut but is out Wednesday, Kelly Oubre Jr. is now dealing with […]
It’s a good thing the Sixers didn’t salary-dump Andre Drummond this offseason
When the Sixers signed Andre Drummond to a two-year, $10 million contract last offseason, most fans were on board with the move. After all, Drummond became a fan favorite during his half-season with the Sixers in 2021-22 before he got sent to Brooklyn in the James Harden trade. But just like everything else last season, […]

Sixers host Raptors to kick off back-to-back
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a narrow 110–108 win over the LA Clippers. There isn’t much time to take it in, though, as they head into yet another back-to-back. They’ll host the Toronto Raptors for the final time this season before traveling to Milwaukee to face the Bucks tomorrow. This will be the second […]
Paul George’s debut offers (very) cautious optimism
There was hope going into the 2024-25 season for the Sixers. Daryl Morey used the cap space he created to lure nine-time All-Star Paul George away from the West Coast to play with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. That hope dissipated before opening night. Embiid missed the first nine games of the season because of […]
