First glimpse at Sixers leaves one longing for more
It was just a scrimmage. Sure, that’s all. Sorta in the same way that Ben Franklin was just a bald, fat guy with a kite. Saturday afternoon’s proceedings represented the first public appearance of the Sixers as we now know them, the first time LeBron James and Jaylen Brown appeared alongside Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey […]
Plenty of encouraging signs from Sixers’ Blue x White scrimmage
The Philadelphia 76ers’ annual Blue x White scrimmage was held at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Saturday afternoon and the event did not disappoint. In addition to clearing the obvious “no one got hurt in a meaningless scrimmage” bar, we witnessed a ton to be excited about with this group heading into the season. Let’s touch […]
Don’t forget about Labaron Philon
When Daryl Morey sent Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a draft pick package at last season’s trade deadline, it was not a widely praised move. Quite the opposite, actually — amongst fans, media members and McCain’s former teammates alike. With Morey gone and his replacement Mike Gansey having one of the greatest […]
Do the Sixers have enough depth?
With the 2026-2027 NBA season just right around the corner, the Sixers are at the forefront of conversation and intrigue for the upcoming campaign. Most of the focus is centered around the acquisitions of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown and how they will fit amongst the trio of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe. […]
‘Sacrifice’ is a good thing, actually
Jabari Walker is unlikely to be in the Sixers’ rotation to start the 2026-27 season. As a guy who had to work his way up from a two-way spot to a standard deal last season, he understands his role is simply to be ready, no matter what the team asks of him. “I’m more in […]
Tacko Fall to be re-evaluated in two weeks with hip strain
Injuries at the center position are nothing new for the Philadelphia 76ers and the team is already dealing with a couple with the 2026 preseason right around the corner. Adem Bona is currently out with a foot sprain suffered while with Turkey for FIBA competition this offseason. We received an update today that he may […]
Could concerns about the Sixers’ defense be vastly overstated?
During Nick Nurse’s first three years in Philadelphia, the Sixers’ defense has mostly been… fine? They were 11th leaguewide in defensive rating in 2023-24, fell to 26th during their injury-ravaged 2024-25 campaign and bounced back up to 17th last year. That’s a far cry from what the Toronto Raptors pulled off in Nurse’s first two […]
Tyrese Maxey named to Time100 Next 2026 list
Tyrese Maxey is no stranger to accumulating NBA honors, having made two All-Star game appearances thus far during his professional career and All-NBA Third Team last season. Now he is being recognized by a publication outside the NBA sphere, being named to Time Magazine’s Time100 Next 2026 list, recognizing the world’s most influential rising stars. […]
There’s finally a silver lining to the Knicks’ championship for the Sixers
The New York Knicks annihilated the Sixers in the second round of the playoffs en route to snapping their 53-year championship drought last season. The vibes around Philly were Decidedly Bad after that humiliation, particularly since Knicks fans overtook the Wells Fargo Center for Games 3 and 4 of that series. But on Monday, LeBron […]
Sixers announce official 2026 training camp details
Media Day is behind us for the Philadelphia 76ers, and it was a more eventful one than usual given the new high-profile names arriving on the roster. Now it’s time to put the work in to get 1 percent better every day, as Tyrese Maxey (and now LeBron James) says. Training camp begins today for […]
Don’t let LeBron James distract you from how crazy it is that Jaylen Brown is a Sixer
It’s going to take a long time for this all to set in. These guys still haven’t even played a preseason game together yet, but 2026 Media Day was very exciting for the Philadelphia 76ers. It’s not every day one of the two best players of all time dons your jersey for the first time. […]
Every quote from LeBron James’ first media availability as a Sixer
Happy Media Day! Sixers fans have gotten their first look at LeBron James in a Sixers uniform and heard him address the Philadelphia media for the first time. In case anyone missed it live, here is every answer from James’ presser in Camden fully transcribed. What are important first steps to acclimate? “I would say […]
More good Sixers news — the 2001 black jerseys are back for 2026-27
In what can only be described as a no-brainer, the Sixers will bring back their Allen Iverson era black jerseys for the 2026-27 season. According to Nike/the NBA’s uniform rules, the Sixers technically could not wear the black jerseys this season. You’re not allowed to wear throwback uniforms unless it falls on an anniversary (like […]
How LeBron James can complete the process
Nearly two months from the day his signing was announced, LeBron James will speak to the Philadelphia media for the first time. There’s still over three weeks before he can play his first regular season game with his new team, but saying this hasn’t gotten old yet: LeBron James is a member of the 76ers. […]
Joel Embiid has both never mattered less and more to the Sixers’ success
For the first time in his NBA career, Joel Embiid is far down in the pecking order in terms of interesting narratives for this Sixers franchise. You have LeBron James taking a minimum deal to seek a ring in Philadelphia of all places, where we haven’t hoisted the Larry O’Brien Trophy since 1983. Jaylen Brown […]
Why Jaylen Brown is the perfect fit for Philly
Since being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in July, Jaylen Brown has embarked on a global series of side quests. In August, Brown faced his fear of heights by skydiving over the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. In early September, Brown stepped in the ring for a boxing exhibition in Lagos, Nigeria to support his […]
Joel Embiid’s Best Playoff Games, Part V: Game 7 vs Boston in 2026
Final Score: Sixers 109, Celtics 100 Series Score after result: Sixers win series, 4-3 Embiid’s stat line: 34 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 12-of-26 FGs, 1-of-4 3PTs, 1 block, +11 rating Is it a bit much to say Sixers fans were confident heading into this Game 7? Maybe it is given Philadelphia’s reputation as postseason […]
LeBron James finally reveals why he chose to sign with the Sixers
LeBron James will officially speak for the first time as a Sixer on Monday at media day. But on Friday, he sat down with Steve Nash for the season premiere of his Mind the Game podcast to discuss what caused him to sign with the Sixers this summer. The main takeaway? The Sixers need to […]
Sixers announce Blue X White Scrimmage date, new location
The Sixers’ Blue X White Scrimmage has become a fun annual tradition for fans. While the intimacy of the Chase Fieldhouse in Delaware, the home of the G League affiliate Blue Coats, was a nice treat, the obvious demand with the new-look Sixers has forced the team to move the event to South Philly. This […]
Tyrese Maxey always finds ways to improve. 2026-27 should be no different
It’s exciting to think what’s in store for Tyrese Maxey next season. Fresh off making an All-NBA team for the first time, and recording career-highs in points (28.3), rebounds (4.1), assists (6.6), steals (1.9) and blocks (0.8) per game, he found ways to level up yet again. Just as he has every year. Now, it’s […]
How will the Sixers use their bench?
In his first real move running the Sixers, new president of basketball operations Mike Gansey took Alabama guard Labaron Philon Jr. out of Alabama with the 22nd pick. His first free agency move was to reunite with Dean Wade, a player Gansey helped find as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ front office. He moved […]
Who will take the last shot for the Sixers this season?
Ever since the Sixers traded for Jaylen Brown—and especially ever since they signed LeBron James a few weeks later—one question has repeatedly popped up: Who will take the last shot for them? NBA teams typically have an established pecking order in crunch time. The Denver Nuggets are going to run their offense through Nikola Jokić, […]
Can VJ Edgecombe take a leap in year two?
This feeling surrounding this upcoming Sixers’ season is one of great anticipation. Sure, most of that has to do with the monumental additions of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, but I’d argue that no small part of that excitement should be for the second season of VJ Edgecombe. Here in Philadelphia, expectations are always set […]
What ESPN’s NBA Rank 2026 got right—and wrong—about the Sixers
With NBA training camps right around the corner, ESPN is rolling out the latest edition of its annual NBA Rank exercise, which ranks players “based on predicted contributions—quality and quantity—for the 2026-27 regular season.“ Unsurprisingly, the Sixers’ starting five was well-represented. Here’s where they checked in this year: No other Sixers players made the list. […]
Anfernee Simons projects as a pivotal member of an improved Sixers bench unit
Even setting aside the two major blockbuster additions in Philadelphia, Mike Gansey was lauded for what he did in his first offseason for the Sixers due to the improved depth pieces he brought into the fold. Signing Dean Wade to a reasonable long-term deal was a nice bit of roster work, but something many people […]
