Sixers need to let McCain-Edgecombe backcourt take its lumps
Anyone watching Jared McCain in his first few games of the season could tell he was still dealing with the lingering effects of the thumb and knee injuries that kept him out of action for 11 months. The bulky brace he wore on his knee restricted his mobility and he could not buy a jumper […]
On LeBron, Maxey and high-level hoops in South Philly
Ahead of a matchup against the Sixers Sunday, LeBron James was questionable on the injury report with sciatica and left foot joint arthritis. Yeah, 40-year-old problems. But not only did James play, he closed the game in vintage fashion, going on a heater that ultimately helped the Lakers beat the Sixers 112-108. It was a […]
Was that LeBron’s last game in Philly?
I am fortunate enough to have attended some of the greatest sporting events in Philadelphia’s history, from Game 5 of the 2008 World Series to the 2017 NFC Championship Game. Those are iconic for what they meant to the city’s sports landscape, but the downright coolest game I ever attended is a little less known. […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: The Sixers get a break
It’s clear the Sixers are not built for The Cup … and it’s the best thing for them. With the knockout stage of the Emirates NBA Cup set to start, the teams that didn’t qualify will get a nice break from the rigors of an 82-game schedule. The Sixers will have four days off before […]

LeBron goes nuclear late, Embiid struggles throughout as Sixers fall to Lakers
If it hadn’t cost them multiple games the third quarter thing would be a tremendous bit. The Sixers fell 112-108 to the Los Angeles Lakers Sunday night. Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers with 28 points, seven rebounds and nine assists as he shot 11-of-24 from the field. VJ Edgecombe had 15 points and five boards […]
The Sixers need to shoot the ball better
Friday night’s win in Milwaukee needs to be a sign of things to come for the Sixers. In a game in which Philadelphia led by as many as 26, the team got 43 attempts from beyond the three-point line up and connected on 17 of them. That’s a 40% success rate from outside the arc. […]
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 […]

PG comes through as Sixers hang on to beat Bucks, win third straight
A nice stress free 2-0 back-to-back, as everyone predicted. The Sixers won their third in a row, knocking down the Milwaukee Bucks 116-101 Friday night. Quentin Grimes led the Sixers with 22 points shooting a blistering 7-of-9 from the field along with four rebounds and five assists. Tyrese Maxey only had 12 points and four assists […]

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 […]
Even when he goes through rookie struggles, VJ Edgecombe still finds a way to help the Sixers win
Nothing vaults you to the top of the Rookie of the Year conversation quite like dropping 34 on your new arch-rival in a winning effort. VJ Edgecombe’s NBA debut set a near impossible bar to reach on a nightly basis. He has since, understandably, cooled down a bit since dropping 75 points across his first […]
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 […]

Phew. Sixers blow 24-point lead but somehow come back to beat depleted Warriors
Well, they should have been able to put this one away quick and get ready for tomorrow, but a win is a win. The Sixers avoided a complete meltdown in the second half, blowing a 24-point lead but coming up with a buzzer-beater to beat the Golden State Warriors 99-98 Thursday night. Tyrese Maxey, as […]

Sixers look to start win streak vs. equally depleted Warriors
It may only be from wins against the Nets and Wizards, but the Sixers have still won two of their last three games. It’s an improvement at least after the recent slump of losses and injury woes, and Tyrese Maxey even got to ease off from heavy minutes with only 28 in Tuesday’s win against […]
Tyrese Maxey finally got some rest. Sixers need to make sure he gets more
The Washington Wizards came to town Tuesday night. They were fresh off a win Monday — their third win in 19 games, to be exact — against old friend Doc Rivers and the Milwaukee Bucks. Since Washington is a franchise more interested in ping-pong balls than victories, their injury list for a matchup against the […]
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 […]
