Don’t expect more Joel Embiid dunks, but his upward trajectory is encouraging
Young Joel Embiid could make a poster on any given night. Hell, he’d show up to a Philly neighborhood court and dunk on Joe Schmo. But multiple knee surgeries later, dunks haven’t been a part of Embiid’s game in recent years. Over the first seven years of his career, Embiid averaged 63.9 dunks in 56.3 […]
How great could the Maxey-Edgecombe backcourt be? Maybe the greatest in franchise history
Wali Jones, 83 years old but forever young, is not one of those back-in-my-day guys. Yes, he’s justifiably proud of an 11-year pro career that saw him quarterback a Sixers championship team in 1967 and at different times serve as sidekick on teams featuring Wilt, Moses and Kareem (no last names needed). But he’s not one to give modern-day players […]

Sixers’ Big 3 shines as team gets right vs. depleted Wizards
No awards will be handed out for this win, but this week has showed why you still have to go out and earn it. The Sixers rebounded from the Nuggets loss with a 131-110 win over the Washington Wizards Wednesday night. Joel Embiid led Philadelphia for the second night in a row, going for 28 […]

Kelly Oubre Jr.’s imminent return should stabilize the rotation
There are probably two distinct mindsets to interpreting the 2025-26 Philadelphia 76ers as we near the halfway point. On one hand, some fans are probably checked out. The last 10 years have been a whirlwind of emotions for Sixers fans and last season’s disaster was probably enough for many to scale back their investment, both […]
Sixers need to get back on track against Wizards
Well, that was disappointing. After going on a fun three-game win streak to close out 2025 and begin the new year — picking up wins against the Grizzlies, third-place Knicks, and Cooper Flagg’s Mavs — the Sixers completely fumbled the game they should have won. On Monday, they somehow lost to a hospital Nuggets squad […]
Joel Embiid, Kelly Oubre Jr., Trendon Watford all questionable as the Sixers host the Wizards
They can’t all get healthy at the same time without there being some doubt. Fresh off their worst loss of the season the Sixers look to bounce back hosting the Washington Wizards, and they’ve released an injury report for that contest. Joel Embiid, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Trendon Watford are all listed as questionable for […]
5 Sixers thoughts: Bad losses, VJ Edgecombe’s shooting and more
A new week in the Sixers’ world brings about a new edition of my “5 thoughts” column on the team. Let’s get after it… The Sixers falling overtime to the Nuggets is a brutal loss We’re more than a half-day into the online debate about whether the Sixers’ loss to a severely undermanned, Nikola Jokić-less […]
Tyrese Maxey drops to fifth overall in second All-Star voting returns
The NBA’s newly formatted All-Star Game is just over a month away, and Tyrese Maxey continues to receive strong turnout on the ballots. That is, not quite as strong as Jalen Brunson, as the Knicks’ faithful propelled him to the top Eastern Conference guard vote-getter, and dropped the Sixers star to fifth overall in the […]
Blue Coats check-in: MarJon Beauchamp shines, Johni Broome progress, and more trades
The G League season is in full swing. At our last Blue Coats check-in, we were taking early stock as players like Emoni Bates, Kennedy Chandler, MarJon Beauchamp and others made immediate noise. Now, just under a month later, the picture looks very different. Rotations have shifted, personnel has changed, and new storylines have emerged. […]

Welp, that sucked
You can’t make disingenuous ducking jokes if you lose to the hospital squad, now can you. The Sixers lost 125-124 in OT to the Nuggets despite Denver being down half its roster. Joel Embiid led all scorers with 32 points going 13-of-22 from the field, while pulling down 10 rebounds. Tyrese Maxey had 28 on […]

It was announced today that Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey was the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for December 29 through January 4, joining Deni Avdija in the West. Teammate Joel Embiid was also a nominee for the title. The Sixers went 3-0 over the course of the week, defeating Memphis, Dallas, and New […]
Sixers return home red-hot and healthy to host Jokic-less Nuggets
After a shaky start, the Sixers closed their five-game road trip in impressive fashion, winning three in a row and improving to 19-14 on the young season. Don’t look now, but the Sixers sit in fifth in the East. After their win in New York Saturday, they’re only two games back in the loss column […]
Edgecombe, Maxey, Embiid: Watch the best performances from Sixers’ win over Knicks
The Philadelphia 76ers swung momentum back in their favor to end their five-game road trip, winning their third straight game on Saturday after losing the first two contests of the trip. The most recent saw the Sixers take down the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden 130-119 on Saturday evening on the backs of […]

Sixers travel to New York striving to stay undefeated in 2026
Happy New Year! I hope 2026 has started as well for you as it did for the Philadelphia 76ers, who had one of their finer performances of the season in taking down the Dallas Mavericks, 123-108, on New Year’s Day. Now, the Sixers will head back up to Madison Square Garden to face the New […]
The Sixers are playing well — just soak it in
Sixers fandom has undergone a decade-long metamorphosis. The Process brought about losing, but with a ray of hope. The Colangelo Era was bizarre and filled with screwups, but the team won a little bit. Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons turning into All-Stars made fans downright cocky. Jimmy Butler’s tenure felt like a fever dream. Most […]
