Paul George will make his season debut vs. Clippers

Update, 1:23 p.m.: Paul George will make his 2025-26 debut Monday night when the Sixers host James Harden and the LA Clippers. It seemed fairly obvious that George would make his season debut against his former team. He’s been practicing 5-on-5 for over a month and we’ve been told repeatedly that he’s close, with doctors […]

Shorthanded Sixers aim to bounce back vs. struggling Clippers

The Sixers are still off to a strong start this season at 7-5, but they’ve certainly cooled off a bit since their 4-0 opening. They’re now coming off a rough 114-105 loss to a seriously shorthanded Pistons team on Friday, setting them up for what needs to be a bounce back performance on Monday night. […]

Sixers practice notebook: Barlow returns; PG out vs. Pistons

Well, it appears one reinforcement is on the way. No, Paul George will not make his season debut in Detroit Friday and Joel Embiid’s status is murky at best, but it looks like there’s a chance two-way forward Dominick Barlow could return to the lineup. The 22-year-old’s elbow laceration has healed enough to the point […]

The Clippers’ mounting losses are the Sixers’ gain

The Sixers have gotten off to a fairly promising start to the 2025-26 NBA season. You know who hasn’t, though? The Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers dropped their sixth straight game Wednesday night against Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets. Kawhi Leonard has missed their past five games with a sprained ankle, while Bradley Beal […]

ESPN names Kelly Oubre Jr., Quentin Grimes as ‘Contract-Year All-Stars’

On Monday, ESPN’s Bobby Marks highlighted 12 potential free agents who’ve gotten off to a hot start in the 2025-26 season as his “Contract-Year All-Stars.” He excluded players who’ve previously made an All-Star or All-NBA team, which automatically disqualified the likes of LeBron James, James Harden and Trae Young. That opened the door for two […]

The shots aren’t falling, but VJ Edgecombe continues to make winning plays

The shot, a three-pointer from the right wing, looked like nine of the first 10 VJ Edgecombe attempted Tuesday night. Which is to say, it appeared to have no shot at all. “It hit back rim,” the Sixers’ rookie said. “I was like, ‘Ahhh.’” Then the ball bounced high in the air.  “I was like, ‘OK, maybe […]

Justin Edwards knew his time would come

After a promising rookie season, Justin Edwards came back and had a bad summer league. He had a bad preseason as well — so much so that he was essentially out of the rotation by the time the regular season started, despite two forwards in Paul George and Trendon Watford not being healthy for opening […]

Justin Edwards goes off as Sixers survive vs. Celtics

Getting crushed on the glass all night then winning on a last-second put-back is a good bit, can’t lie. The Sixers beat the Boston Celtics 102-100 Tuesday night thanks to a Kelly Oubre Jr. put-back with eight seconds left. Tyrese Maxey’s streak of 25 points or more came to an end, as he had 21 […]

Quentin Grimes switches representation to CAA

Following an unusual offseason saga that saw restricted free agent Quentin Grimes return to the Philadelphia 76ers by signing the one-year, $8.7 million qualifying offer, the 25-year-old guard is now switching his representation to Creative Artists Agency (CAA). CAA is a huge agency, with plenty of NBA stars in their portfolio, including Devin Booker, Karl-Anthony […]
