Rockets draft pick tracker: Might as well, right?
Whether you like how they got there or not, the Sixers now have a draft pick in the 2026 NBA draft. Of course they owe their own pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the price they paid for getting off Al Horford’s contract back in the 2020 offseason. Thanks to another deal with the Thunder, […]
Magic and Bird helped save the NBA, but Doc and Moses did their part, too
It is NBA gospel to believe that Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, shining stars as they were in the East (and West), enabled the league to rise into the firmament, to become the Goliath it has since become. Upon their arrival in 1979, they polished pro basketball’s profile, burying its sordid, drug-addled past and paving the way for […]
Source: Sixers bringing back Cameron Payne from overseas
Guard reinforcements are on the way for the Sixers. The team is bringing back Cameron Payne for the rest of the season, a source confirms to Liberty Ballers. TeleSport was the first to report the signing. Payne had been playing in Serbia for Partizan Belgrade, reportedly agreeing to a buyout to return to the NBA. […]
Sizing up the East heading into season’s second half
We’re about two-thirds of the way through the 2025-26 NBA regular season based upon games played, but the league’s All-Star break always serves as the arbitrary halfway point of the season. The vibes were way down for the Philadelphia 76ers, but we received a welcome respite over the weekend, getting to enjoy VJ Edgecombe shine […]
NBA All-Star Game Recap: Maxey’s team wins, vintage Kawhi, two buzzer-beaters
NBA All-Star Weekend festivities wrapped up with the round robin tournament. Sixers All-Star Tyrese Maxey competed for Team USA Stars. Each matchup was a 12-minute game. In the first matchup Team USA Stars took on Team World in what was a barn burner. In the second game, Team USA Stars took on Team USA Stripes […]
2026 All-Star Game Thread
The 75th NBA All-Star Game will get underway on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET from the Intuit Dome, home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Returning to NBC for the first time in decades and also streaming on Peacock, this year’s All-Star Game will feature a round-robin tournament with four 12-minute games between three teams: two […]
Tyrese Maxey eliminated after first round of 3-Point Contest
On Saturday, Tyrese Maxey was the first Sixers player to compete in the 3-Point Contest since Kyle Korver in 2005. Unfortunately for Sixers fans, Maxey was eliminated early, finishing with a score of just 17 in the first round and not advancing. That’s fine. Save it for the stretch run to the playoffs, dude! Kon […]
All-Star Weekend Saturday Thread
If you’re a Sixers fan who skipped out on Friday night’s All-Star festivities, you missed a heck of a time. Beloved rookie VJ Edgecombe took home Rising Stars MVP honors. Edgecombe showcased everything that has made him a legitimate building block for this franchise during his first pro season during the mini-tournament, mixing clutch scoring […]
VJ Edgecombe named Rising Stars MVP with clutch performance
VJ Edgecombe, the crunch-time machine, got after it once again on the national stage! On Friday evening during the Rising Stars event, Edgecombe played for Vince Carter and Team Vince as part of the All-Star Weekend festivities. When I say this is the most unimportant basketball activity that the beloved Sixers rookie has undertaken in […]
2026 Rising Stars Challenge Thread
All-Star Weekend gets underway at the Intuit Dome, home of the Los Angeles Clippers, on Friday night! After the celebrity game tips off at 7 p.m. on ESPN, which I cannot fathom anyone on planet Earth caring about, the Rising Stars Challenge begins at 9 p.m. and streams on Peacock! For clarity’s sake, the Rising […]
I love basketball, but have problems with the NBA
How about some complaining that’s not Sixers specific for once? The NBA, which I once thought about 15 years ago was primed to leap the NFL in the public consciousness at some point in my lifetime, can’t get out of its own way. What happened to what used to be my favorite sport and my […]
The All-Star break couldn’t come at a better time for the Sixers
There’s never a good time to get blown out two games in a row. The Sixers are heading into the 2026 All-Star break coming off two of their worst losses of the season. They lost by 17 to the Portland Trail Blazers and followed it up with a 49-point embarrassment against the New York Knicks […]
Recent losses expose Sixers’ roster depth issue
The Philadelphia 76ers head into the NBA All-Star break at 30-24, good for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. On the surface, that’s perfectly fine, a modest overperformance relative to our preseason expectations. However, the team’s current two-game losing streak is a flashing warning sign for danger ahead. Now, you might be thinking, ‘Two-game losing […]
Buyout Bingo: Which slightly-used veteran could the Sixers talk themselves into?
The NBA Trade Deadline, for better or worse, is behind us. Out goes Jared McCain and Eric Gordon. In comes draft picks and a bunch of seemingly temporary players. Despite what your opinion might be, the Sixers freed up two roster spots and seem to be weighing all options there. But who makes sense? Is […]

Before this weekend’s festivities, I’m here to hit you with the latest edition of my “5 Sixers thoughts” column. Let’s get after it… The Sixers sure could use Jared McCain and Isaiah Joe right now… […]
The Sixers have an unfixable Knicks problem
The Sixers’ woes against the Knicks go beyond the 49-point thrashing they received on national television on Wednesday evening. They go beyond the remnants of the team’s 2024 playoff loss to New York. When the Knicks come to South Philadelphia, those issues begin before tip-off. The Sixers have a Knicks fan problem that was exacerbated […]

That was a basketball game
I’m all for being checked out of work the last day before a vacation, but good lord. The shorthanded Sixers limped into the All-Star break, being blown out 138-89 by the New York Knicks Wednesday night. They go into the break 30-24, just a game up in the loss column on the Orlando Magic for […]

Joel Embiid to miss second straight for right knee, Quentin Grimes also out vs. Knicks
The Philadelphia 76ers will be shorthanded again on Wednesday night hosting the New York Knicks. After being listed as questionable throughout the day, Joel Embiid has been downgraded to out for the contest due to right knee injury management. Embiid was also sidelined for this reason on Monday when the Sixers fell to the Portland […]
The Sixers’ players deserve your support despite the disheartening deadline
Make no mistake about it, Monday’s blowout loss in Portland was an unfortunate ending to Philadelphia’s five-game West Coast trip that started off with convincing wins against the Clippers and Warriors. A few days prior to the loss on Monday was a loss in Los Angeles against the Lakers which happened to coincide with an […]

The Sixers went 3-2 on their trip out West and have not played at home since the passing of the […]
Sixers sign Dalen Terry to two-way contract
The Philadelphia 76ers are starting to see the dust settle after the 2026 NBA trade deadline. During that span, the team converted Dominick Barlow from a two-way deal to a standard contract.
