Adem Bona’s foot injury exposes the Sixers’ potential fatal flaw this season
With less than two weeks to go until training camp begins, the vibes around the Sixers are still largely immaculate for the time being. However, Thursday’s news that Adem Bona suffered a foot sprain was a reminder of what might prove to be their Achilles’ heel. Liberty Ballers’ Paul Hudrick reported that Bona suffered the […]
Adem Bona suffers foot sprain, to be re-evaluated at start of training camp
That’s two Septembers in a row the Sixers have had a member of their 2024 draft class get injured. The team announced that Adem Bona has suffered a sprain in his left foot and will be re-evaluated at the start of training camp. Further updates will be provided as appropriate. More information about the injury […]
How Justin Edwards can solidify his role in 2026-27
After his first game with the Delaware Blue Coats in 2024 Justin Edwards told me, “I felt good, every shot was going in,” as he cruised to 28 points, scoring 10 in the final quarter. Whether he knew it or not, that shooting performance would propel him to a two-way deal with the Sixers later […]
Loving a PA guy is in the ears (and era) of the Beholder
It is only on occasion that I am reminded of the age gap between myself and my much younger colleagues here on campus at LibertyBallers U. Oh, I’m quite sure there is some eyerolling on occasion: Grandpa’s writing about … what? Mark Hendrickson? Royal Ivey? Willie Burton? Might be time to up his meds. But […]
Sixers go soaring up ESPN’s latest Future Power Rankings
Every year, ESPN rolls out “Future Power Rankings,” which are its “projection of the on-court success expected for each team over the next three seasons.” After one of the greatest offseasons in franchise history (if not the best), the Sixers unsurprisingly went soaring up the latest edition of the rankings. Heading into the 2024-25 season, […]
Dominick Barlow could do even more for Sixers in 2026-27
Dominick Barlow went above and beyond what you’d ever expect for a player on a two-way contract last season. He started 59 games for the Sixers and averaged 23.8 minutes per game, as well as 10.8 minutes across nine games in the playoffs. High motor, rebounding at both ends, sharp defense against guards and forwards, […]
Matt Cord forgoes retirement to return as Sixers PA announcer for 29th season
You just knew this was too big of a Sixers season to not have Matt Cord on the mic. After initially retiring following the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign, Cord will instead return as public address announcer at Xfinity Mobile Arena for Philadelphia 76ers’ home games for the upcoming season. It will be his 29th […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: We’re getting close …
Sixers media day will take place on Sept. 28. That will be our first chance to hear from LeBron James (who is a Sixer now, by the way). Training camp starts the next day. So, what’s on your mind as we inch closer to the start of the season? Anything you’re hoping to hear from […]
The NBA’s new 2027-28 salary-cap projection bodes well for the Sixers
This offseason, new Sixers president of basketball operations Mike Gansey turned lemons into fresh-squeezed lemonade. Not only did the Sixers flip Paul George for Jaylen Brown and sign LeBron James to a minimum contract, but they also rounded out their depth by splitting the non-taxpayer mid-level exception between Anfernee Simons and Dean Wade and spending […]
Jabari Walker doesn’t have a clear role, but it’s obvious the Sixers see his value
As this series has tackled, the Sixers did pretty well on the two-way market in the 2025 offseason. Jabari Walker, along with Dominick Barlow, was picked up and eventually given a standard contract by the Sixers. Last season Walker played 64 games and started six of them. He averaged 11 minutes a game and put […]
Ranking the Sixers’ biggest threats in the Eastern Conference
For the first time in roughly forever, the Eastern Conference appears to be loaded this year. The reigning champion New York Knicks are atop the conference for now, but the Sixers and others will be nipping at their heels all season as they vie for East supremacy. The Sixers loaded up by adding LeBron James […]
Can the Sixers replicate their two-way success from a season ago?
OK, it’s not like they have to after having one of the splashiest offseasons of all time. In recent history, the Sixers haven’t been the most prolific at finding cheap, productive talent on the two-way market, but that wasn’t the case in 2025. Last offseason they brought in Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker, both of […]
Joel Embiid’s Best Playoff Games, Part III: Game 3 vs. Raptors in 2022
Final Score: Sixers 104, Raptors 101 (OT) Series score after result: Philadelphia leads 3-0 Embiid’s stat line: 33 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 12-of-20 FGs, 3-of-8 3PTs, 1 block, +8 rating For the second time in our five-part series, we have a performance in the postseason from Joel Embiid that came against Nick Nurse. It […]
Jaylen Brown participates in boxing exhibition
Now playing in the city that has a famous statue of a fictional boxer, Jaylen Brown is truly embracing that spirit of combat sport. Earlier this week, Brown participated in an exhibition boxing match in Lagos, Nigeria, in support of his non-profit, The 7uice Foundation. It continues an offseason of questionably dangerous off-the-court activities for […]
Ranking the Exhibit 10 players by level of intrigue
The Sixers are bringing in four players on Exhibit 10 contracts: Dillon Jones, Saint Thomas, Jameer Nelson, Jr. and, easily the most recognizable of all, Tacko Fall. As a refresher, an Exhibit 10 contract is essentially a camp invite where the signee is financially incentivized by the signing team to join its G League affiliate. […]
Will the new-look Sixers bring out the ‘mad scientist’ Nick Nurse?
When Nick Nurse took over as the Sixers’ head coach ahead of the 2023-24 season, players were buzzing with excitement about his energy and creativity. But with Joel Embiid and Paul George cycling in and out of the lineup over the past two seasons, Nurse hasn’t gotten many chances to show off that side of […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: I’m back, baby
I’m back this week and ready to answer your Sixers-related questions. It’s been relatively quiet, but the Sixers did make a series of Exhibit 10 signings. For those unfamiliar, an Exhibit 10 deal is essentially a training camp contract with an added financial incentive for the player to join the signing team’s G League affiliate. […]
Former Sixers POBO Bryan Colangelo hired as advisor to BC Roma
Things are going well for the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason, so I think it’s safe to touch on a topic from a time when things were much more…turbulent. The reason? Former Sixers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo has been hired as an advisor by Italian professional club BC Roma. First off, it’s nice for […]
Sixers sign Dillon Jones to Exhibit 10 contract
The Sixers have signed Dillon Jones to an Exhibit 10 contract. Jones was the 26th overall pick back in 2024, selected by the Washington Wizards before being traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder on draft night. He made 54 appearances for the Thunder in his rookie season, playing 10 minutes a game averaging 2.5 points […]
Sixers reveal first exterior renderings of future arena slated for 2030
The Philadelphia 76ers along with the Philadelphia Flyers have revealed the first glimpse at their future home in South Philadelphia. Exterior renderings were released today by the Sixers and Flyers of the new arena that will host not only their games, but also the games of the future Philadelphia WNBA team as well as concerts […]
Why Jaylen Brown’s infamous ‘favorite season’ quote could bode well for the Sixers
In May, Jaylen Brown was down bad. The Sixers had just pulled off their first-ever 3-1 series comeback in franchise history to beat Brown’s Celtics in the playoffs for the first time in more than 40 years. That also marked the Celtics’ first blown 3-1 lead in franchise history. (We truly hate to see it.) […]
Report: Sixers executive Ariana Andonian becoming new Los Angeles Sparks general manager
The Philadelphia 76ers have seen major shakeups in their executive ranks this offseason. Daryl Morey was let go back in May, setting the stage for Mike Gansey to arrive as the new President of Basketball Operations and the promotion of Jameer Nelson into the vice president role. Now, a member of the front office hired […]
Why didn’t the Sixers sign Ben Simmons?
Earlier this offseason, Ben Simmons hinted that he was eyeing a return to the NBA after taking the 2025-26 season off. He told Clay Skipper of Men’s Health that he didn’t “have a plan on where” he would sign, before adding, “Maybe I’ll go back to Philly.” He is not going back to Philly. Instead, […]
Joel Embiid’s Best Playoff Games, Part II: Game 5 vs Celtics in 2026
We started this series by looking back on one of Joel Embiid’s early postseasons with the Sixers, as the big man had a dominant Game 3 in 2019 against Toronto. At that time, fans were viewing the Sixers in a very positive light. Fast forward seven years to 2026, and fans had all but tapped […]
