Latest news and updates about the 76ers
BOSTON — Anfernee Simons flashed the defensive focus from his offseason immediately on opening night.

Elsewhere, Simons swiped the ball from Joel Embiid sneaking behind […]

Fans were cautiously hopeful on Wednesday night heading into the Philadelphia 76ers’ season opener in Boston.

Poor Scottie Barnes. He really got a lot of hate from the fans. And, they sent a lot of love toward the Celtics, especially Pritchard and White. I do think the Celtics are going to be fun to watch this season. My favorites are in bold. What ar...
