Joel Embiid ruled out for Sixers’ Saturday visit to Pelicans
Well, this isn’t optimal. Joel Embiid has been ruled out for the Philadelphia 76ers’ visit to the New Orleans Pelicans set for Saturday evening according to the team’s injury report. The news comes after the team announced back on Wednesday that Embiid had reported right shin soreness over the All-Star break and would be re-evaluated […]
The NBA’s new anti-tanking rules are a mess
Yep, that will definitely fix it this time. More changes to combat tanking are coming to the NBA next season, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. Trying to combat year-over tanking, they’ll be cracking down on what protections you can put on a traded pick, how many consecutive years in a row you can land a […]

Cam Payne plans to bring energy and stability in second Sixers stint
It’s no surprise the Sixers were targeting a guard on the open market after the trade deadline. The team sent Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder and Eric Gordon to the Memphis Grizzlies with no NBA players coming back to Philly. With Quentin Grimes missing two games with an illness before the All-Star break, […]
Dominick Barlow was the Sixers’ first half unsung hero
Heading into the season, the Philadelphia 76ers had a gargantuan-sized hole at the power forward position. With limited avenues available in offseason free agency based on the team’s salary cap situation, Daryl Morey sought to spackle over the hole by signing Trendon Watford to a minimum contract and bringing in a couple of two-way contract […]
Sixers host Atlanta Hawks coming off All-Star Break
The NBA is back, and so is Sixers basketball as the regular season heads into its final stretch. After the All-Star break, where VJ Edgecombe earned Rising Stars MVP honors and Tyrese Maxey’s team won the All-Star Game, the Sixers return looking to snap a two-game losing streak. They begin by hosting the Atlanta Hawks […]
Joel Embiid out vs. Hawks as he deals with shin soreness
Well, that’s not going to help start the second half on the right foot. The Sixers have ruled Joel Embiid out for their first game back out of the All-Star break against the Atlanta Hawks with shin soreness. While he hasn’t been ruled out for any further games, the team has released a short update. […]
Around the NBA: Franz Wagner out indefinitely, OG Anunoby ready to return, Kyrie Irving shut down for season
We are quickly approaching the return of not only the Philadelphia 76ers but of NBA basketball in general after the week or so off for the All-Star break, so let’s catch up with what is making headlines around the league right now. Franz Wagner out indefinitely for Magic Things just got tougher for an already-stumbling […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: It’s a race to the finish
The All-Star break is the unofficial midway point of the NBA season, but the Sixers have just 28 games remaining, beginning Thursday night as they host the Atlanta Hawks — a team they really need to beat, quite frankly. Coming out of the break, the Sixers sit at 30-24, good for the sixth seed (and […]
3 burning Sixers questions heading into the Second Half
It really should be called the final third of the season now, shouldn’t it? The Sixers just need to put the finishing touches on the final 28 games of the regular season to complete a bounce back from their disastrous 24-win campaign a season ago. With just a game in the loss column currently keeping […]
Former coach Doug Moe, whose time in Philly was unfortunately brief, dies at 87
We didn’t see the best of Doug Moe in Philadelphia. Hell, we barely saw him at all. He lasted 56 games as the Sixers’ coach in 1992-93, the team’s first after Charles Barkley left town. Thirty-seven of them were losses, two by 56 points – including the last one, on March 6, 1993 in Seattle. Too bad, because Moe, […]
Sixers come out of All-Star Break with a chance to right the ship
The second month of the calendar year started with a couple of convincing wins over the Clippers and Warriors for the Sixers in the midst of a West Coast swing. Since that Warriors win on Feb. 3, Philadelphia has won one game. It got blown out by Portland and New York in its final two […]
Report: Sixers to convert Jabari Walker’s deal; sign Tyrese Martin to two-way deal
ESPN’s Shams Charania has reported that the Sixers will be signing Jabari Walker to a two-year standard contract. Walker hasn’t been able to play for Philadelphia since Feb. 3 after playing the maximum 50 games on his two-way contract. With Cameron Payne returning to the team as well, the Sixers roster will be filled out […]
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 […]

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 […]
