Could the Sixers trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

Beyond the rather obvious answer of, “Probably not, man,” to this article’s title, we should at least explore the topic, right? It feels like Giannis Antetokounmpo, the 31-year-old multiple-time MVP who’s already solidified himself as one of the greats the sport has seen, may have played his last game with the Milwaukee Bucks. Trade talks […]

Sixers face Lakers looking for fourth straight win

Things are going very well at the moment for the Philadelphia 76ers. The team has won three straight games to move back up to sixth place in the Eastern Conference, clear of Play-In Tournament position. While doing poorly in NBA Cup play was kind of a bummer, it does now mean they have plenty of […]

The Sixers cannot forget Big Shot in the middle of their nostalgia tour

You will believe a rabbit can fly. From 1998 to 2011, Hip-Hop, an aerial slam-dunking rabbit mascot, patrolled the court at the Sixers’ arena. No matter what bank held the naming rights of the joint at the time, Hip-Hop was king, entertaining a generation of Philadelphians from the early Allen Iverson into the franchise’s pre-Process […]

Sixers close back-to-back visiting Bucks, sans-Giannis

The Philadelphia 76ers will close out a back-to-back on Friday evening when they visit the Milwaukee Bucks, led by former Sixers coach Doc Rivers. The Sixers are coming off narrowly surviving disgusting implosion against the Golden State Warriors — without Steph Curry or Jimmy Butler — in South Philadelphia on Thursday evening. The visitors got […]

The 2025-26 Sixers are who we thought they were

Philadelphia did exactly what it should do against one of the NBA’s poverty franchises on Tuesday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena. The Sixers dispatched of the Washington Wizards 121-102 in a game they led by double digits at halftime and by 24 after three quarters. More importantly, the significant margin of victory allowed for Tyrese […]

NBA fines Sixers for violating injury reporting rules

Josh Harris and David Blitzer aren’t going to be happy today. The league announced that the Philadelphia 76ers have been fined $100,000 related to Joel Embiid’s injury reporting for the game against the Atlanta Hawks on Nov. 30. To quickly recap, Embiid had last played on Nov. 8 against the Raptors, then missed nine straight […]

Sixers win a much-needed laugher vs. depleted Wizards

A win the minutes police can be happy about (not that they’re wrong, though). The Sixers blew out a depleted Washington Wizards group 121-102, a team that already looks quite depleted at full strength. Looking to erase his mistake against Atlanta, Tyrese Maxey went for a game-high 35 points, on a scorching 13-of-26 night from […]

Maxey vs. Daniels was a war of attrition

Dyson Daniels is an NBA player with a burgeoning resume, a cool nickname and worries so profound that he finds himself constantly looking over his shoulder. That was evident Sunday night, when he represented the first line of the Atlanta Hawks’ defense against Tyrese Maxey. Daniels, 6-foot-7 and stringy, would assume his stance as Maxey, 6-foot-2 and […]

Sixers look to stay above .500 as they host Wizards

We had Philadelphia’s version of Halley’s Comet on Sunday night, as we saw the quartet of Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, Paul George, and VJ Edgecombe all suit up for the first time as Sixers. The double overtime defeat to the Hawks was certainly exciting, if not the result Sixers fans were hoping to see. I […]

Editor-in-chief mailbag: Another weird week for the Sixers … which felt normal?

A rash of injuries? Joel Embiid’s injury status flip-flopping? Super weird games? It sure sounds like the Sixers are back! We’re 19 games into the 2025-26 season and we have little clarity on this team. Embiid and Paul George are just now pushing the 30-minute threshold and have played a combined 12 games — and […]

Allen Iverson is an all-time great, but could he have been even greater?

We are early in a Sixers season in which we are again reexamining the career of Allen Iverson, again reconsidering his legacy. The team has chosen to trot out the uniforms worn by the Iverson-led 2000-01 NBA finalist on occasion, and a recent book and docuseries allow us to revisit the life and career of the […]
