The Celtics have everything and the Sixers have nothing
May 5, 2018. That was the last time I had even the slightest inclination that the Sixers might have the upper hand against the Boston Celtics. That was the date of the infamous “Confetti Game” in the Eastern Conference Semifinals when the Sixers hosted Boston. An eventual overtime loss for the Sixers gave way to […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: So, now what?
Paul George is still suspended. Joel Embiid is still recovering from a right oblique strain. Now, Tyrese Maxey is dealing with a sprain in his right pinky — the same pinky which he sprained last season and ended his 2024-25 campaign — and will miss the next two games at least. Rookie VJ Edgecombe is […]
No Maxey, Edgecombe, Embiid or PG as Sixers begin back-to-back against Cavs
UPDATE March 9, 1 p.m. ET: VJ Edgecombe will miss his third straight game due to a lumbar contusion after being downgraded to out for Sixers-Cavs on Monday. He was previously listed as questionable. The Sixers will now be without their top four scorers — Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, Edgecombe and Paul George — in […]
Tyrese Maxey has sprained pinky, will miss next two games and undergo additional testing
Maybe one day the Sixers can have nice things. Tyrese Maxey suffered a sprain of his right pinky in the team’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks Saturday night. He will miss the next two games and undergo additional testing, per the Sixers. The play occurred with 16.2 seconds left in the game. Maxey and Adem […]

Maxey hurts hand in closing seconds, Sixers fall to 0-4 vs. Hawks, no longer in guaranteed playoff spot
Well, you better hope you don’t see this team in the Play-In tournament! The Sixers fell 125-116 to the Atlanta Hawks Saturday night, losing all four matchups in the regular season. They are 34-29 and are now a half game behind the Orlando Magic for the sixth seed in the East. Tyrese Maxey off a […]

Struggling Sixers visit surging Hawks with Embiid, Edgecombe out
What a perfect time to start a road trip for the Philadelphia 76ers! The Sixers kick off a quick but tough two-game roadie with a visit to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday evening. There are a number of reasons this matchup that might not sound terribly scary on paper could pose a problem for the […]
The Sixers, mostly, just make me mad
It’s Oscar season, so I’ve had movies on my mind as of late. One of my favorite films of this decade is Wim Wenders’ Perfect Days. With a loaded soundtrack, it features the Velvet Underground song, “Pale Blue Eyes,” perhaps the greatest song the legendary Lou Reed ever wrote. It’s a song I’ve adored for […]
Joel Embiid to be reevaluated in a week; VJ Edgecombe doubtful after missing practice
Well, that’s not the news you’re looking for heading into a tough road trip. The Sixers returned to practice Friday before hitting the road for Atlanta and Cleveland and with that came some injury updates. The team told reporters at practice that Joel Embiid (oblique strain) is progressing through individualized strength and conditioning work and […]
The Sixers’ house of cards is teetering
Could it really have been only five weeks ago that Joel Embiid stood before reporters in the Sixers’ locker room and offered something resembling a rallying cry? We all remember it. How on Jan. 29, with the trade deadline looming, Embiid said the following: “I love all the guys that are in here. I think we got a […]
Garbage time or not, Jabari Walker is always going to bring the hustle
The Sixers’ narrow win over the Utah Jazz Wednesday was thanks in large part to a 22-point effort from Jabari Walker. He came into the game hot, making his first four three-point attempts. That last one to fall wasn’t even a clean swish — he got a friendly bounce off the rim to get the […]
Sixers Bell Ringer: Led by Jabari Walker, the Sixers manage to barely beat tanking Jazz

A win is a win?
Well, they may lose as bad as tanking teams, but at least they can still beat tanking teams. The Sixers escaped with a 106-102 win over the Utah Jazz Wednesday night. They are now 34-28, still a game up on the Orlando Magic for the sixth seed but tied in the loss column. Despite some […]

Yes, we need to discuss the Jared McCain trade again
The vibes for the Philadelphia 76ers are at a low point for the season. The team has lost six of their last nine games, Paul George is about halfway through a league drug policy-related suspension, and Joel Embiid is currently missing time with an oblique injury. Losses to Boston and San Antonio this week looked […]
VJ Edgecombe out vs. Jazz with lumbar contusion, to be reevaluated later in the week
Only missing a game or two here is probably far from the worst case scenario. The Sixers announced that VJ Edgecombe has suffered a lumbar contusion and will miss their upcoming contest against the Utah Jazz. The team says that he’ll be reevaluated before their next game against the Atlanta Hawks. This happened on the […]
NBC’s retro broadcast was a welcomed wave of nostalgia
On Tuesday night, NBC flashed back to the 1990s and the result was more entertaining than any episode of Friends I’ve seen. With the NBA once more on the network this season as part of the league’s changing media rights landscape, NBC did a retro broadcast of the Sixers-Spurs game in Philadelphia. I adored it, […]
Sixers host Utah Jazz on second leg of back-to-back
The Sixers are coming off a rough one — getting blown out at home by the San Antonio Spurs, 131-91. The good news is they won’t have long to stew on it. Philadelphia hosts the Utah Jazz tonight on the second leg of a back-to-back, giving them a quick chance to bounce back. Sixer fans […]

Well, that was embarrassing
Another smashing success for the Sixers on national television. Philadelphia was trounced 131-91 by the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday night. They are 33-28, just a half game up and tied in the loss column with the Orlando Magic for the sixth seed. Tyrese Maxey, playing 25 minutes before the white flag was raised, put up […]
