It’s been a few extra days, so it’s time to check with our friends in the Lone Star state. It’s been a good week for the Houston Rockets, which means it’s been a bad one for the 2026 first-round pick they owe to the Sixers as a result of the Jared McCain trade. Houston rebounded […]

Sixers and Mitchell & Ness drop Allen Iverson-inspired collection

Twenty-five years removed from the Sixers’ most recent NBA Finals berth, Allen Iverson remains the definitive Philadelphia basketball star this century and one of the most beloved athletes in Philly history.

Sixers back in playoff position after standings help Wednesday

You couldn’t have drawn up Wednesday night’s results any better as a Philadelphia 76ers fan. The Sixers overcame Joel Embiid’s illness-related absence and a poor defensive effort in the first half to defeat Washington, 153-131. Good and fun to watch, but certainly not unexpected against a Wizards team at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. […]

Would a ring truly change the narrative around Joel Embiid?

Things are just different when it comes to sports in Philadelphia. The microscope players are under and the feedback they receive from this fervent fan base, through both good times and bad, is unparalleled. For a city that’s been relatively light on championships for the last century, goodwill is hard to come by. It’s what […]

Sixers have ideal chance to secure key win against tanking Wizards

Well, Monday didn’t go as hoped for the Sixers. With cool shooting nights from their stars, while Tyler Herro led the way with 30 points for Miami who went on a 14-0 run in the last few minutes to take control, the Sixers lost to the Heat, 119-109. It was an underwhelming performance and frustrating result. […]
