Philadelphia survived to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 123-114 Saturday night. Joel Embiid, who was scorching in the first half again, led all scorers with 39 points along with 11 rebounds […]

The Sixers’ veteran forward released a statement to ESPN: The league and George did not indicate the specific drug that was used. The nine-time All-Star has appeared in 27 games this season, […]

Sixers look primed to build win streak vs. Pelicans

Coming off a strong win against the Bucks and 77 combined points from Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey to beat the Kings, Saturday’s game should be a good opportunity for the Sixers to keep some momentum going. The Sixers will welcome the 13-37 Pelicans — sitting at 14th place in the West — to Philadelphia, […]

The only likely path to Giannis being a Sixer is him forcing his way here

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know the Milwaukee Bucks are actively listening to trade offers for two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo with the NBA trade deadline less than a week away. An interesting nugget came from NBA Insider and LB alum Jake Fischer, who wrote this for The Stein Line: League sources say […]

Are Sixers fans overthinking a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade?

Sixers basketball is fun right now. Joel Embiid is doing things I thought were well in the rearview mirror for him. Tyrese Maxey is continuing his superstar ascension. VJ Edgecombe is wading through the waters of being a rookie as a key contributor on a playoff team. Paul George has even turned back the clock […]

The Sixers did something they haven’t been doing — they won ugly

Zach LaVine’s heave that fell wide to secure the Sixers 113-111 win over the Sacramento Kings could only bring more feelings of relief than joy. Despite it feeling prophesied that the Sixers must take every game down to the wire, they were 10-point favorites in this one. They were taking on a lottery team with […]

Joel Embiid sends clear message to Sixers front office ahead of trade deadline

With the NBA trade deadline less than a week away, surely you’re thinking it: The Sixers better not duck the tax this year. Over the past several seasons, the Sixers have made moves to dip below the NBA’s luxury tax. Some deals were less egregious, but last year’s salary-dumping of KJ Martin to the Detroit […]

Maxey makes layup in final seconds as Sixers win a close one vs. Kings

No game has ever had more “January night in Orlando” vibes than this one. Of course, the Sixers ended it with a game-winner in the final seconds.

Sixers, Maxey reportedly on Giannis’ ‘radar,’ but team hasn’t called Bucks

Shockwaves were felt across the NBA on Wednesday when ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the Milwaukee Bucks were, for the first time, genuinely listening to trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo. A number of teams have since been linked to the former Finals MVP, with Miami, New York, Minnesota and Golden State emerging as the most […]

Sixers host Sacramento Kings for Thursday night clash

The Philadelphia 76ers split their early-week back-to-back, losing to the Charlotte Hornets before beating the Milwaukee Bucks at home. Now they’ll face another team dealing with its own issues, the Sacramento Kings, for the first time this season. Man, oh man. Where do I even start breaking down this team? Fans who were around for […]

Tyrese Maxey will be an All-Star starter for the first time in February. VJ Edgecombe has been electric as a rookie and will be a Rising Star during All-Star festivities in a few weeks as well. Things are looking both good now and for the future when it comes to the Sixers’ backcourt, so much […]

Can Joel Embiid win over Philly again?

Joel Embiid is doing things I never imagined he’d do again. After an MVP campaign in 2023, an All-World performance in 2024 that was cut short due to injury and a disastrous season for both him and the franchise all around last year, I was pretty out on this whole ordeal. Oh, the Sixers added […]

Sixers’ offense hums as they win 25th game vs. Giannis-less Bucks

When you adjust for snowstorms this has been a great start to the week for the Sixers. Philadelphia bounced back with a decisive 139-122 win over the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday night. Paul George, just shy of the franchise record for three-pointers in a game, dropped a game-high 32 points with five rebounds and five assists […]

Grimes out, Embiid, PG available for Sixers-Bucks

UPDATE 7 p.m. ET: Quentin Grimes has been downgraded to out for Tuesday hosting the Bucks, listed with a right ankle sprain. Joel Embiid remains questionable and Paul George is still probable (both for left knee injury management) with just over an hour before tipoff. It’s fitting that someone got dinged up in the worst […]

Sixers host Giannis-less Bucks to close back-to-back

Just over 24 hours removed from being absolutely demolished by the Charlotte Hornets, the Philadelphia 76ers are back in action on Tuesday night to host the Milwaukee Bucks sans Giannis Antetokounmpo. It’s a good thing there’s a quick turnaround here. I don’t think the Sixers want more time to dwell on their last contest. On […]
