Can shorthanded Sixers beat tanking Nets?

Well, the vibes just seem to keep finding new ways to get worse. Now with Tyrese Maxey sidelined for a few weeks, on top of Joel Embiid and Paul George’s absences and lingering frustrations from the Jared McCain trade (avoid watching Thunder games if you aren’t already), it pretty much feels like we’re waiting for […]

Joel Embiid remains out; no further update as of now

Well, it appears no reinforcements are on the way for the Sixers any time soon. Joel Embiid will miss his seventh straight game with a right oblique strain when the Sixers host the Brooklyn Nets Saturday afternoon. Head coach Nick Nurse told reporters in Detroit Thursday that Embiid would be reevaluated on Friday. As of […]

We’re all just waiting for the Play-In Tournament now

Meaningless basketball is back in Philadelphia. Watching the 76ers lose to the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night felt like a harkening back to the Process days of yore. With nearly the entire roster injured or suspended, the Sixers rolled out a group against the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons that contained rookie VJ Edgecombe, Quentin Grimes and […]

Turns out having healthy centers is important

It turns out having 0 centers available is not a good thing. The Sixers were blown out again, falling 131-109 to the Detroit Pistons Thursday night. They are 35-31 and could be as low as the ninth seed in the East by the end of the night. MarJon Beauchamp led the Sixers in scoring with […]

Is there anything in the world that could change the Sixers’ luck?

The Sixers are cursed. I don’t know what led us all on to this path, but it happened. The fervent dedication of the Process era that was filled with promises of titles and parades has only been matched by a series of blunders and setbacks, each one more inexplicable than the last. The Sixers, and, […]

Is it time for the Sixers to tank?

If you’re looking on the bright side, we’re at least writing this about three months later this season than we were last season. For about 35-45 games, the Sixers gave their fans enough of a reason to tune in. But the last five to six weeks of the 2025-2026 season have been far from fruitful. […]

Sixers travel to Detroit to take on the one-seeded Pistons

The Sixers are coming off a feel-good victory, defeating the tanking Memphis Grizzlies 139-129 in a game where they were without Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Joel Embiid. Now they’ll look to keep their playoff hopes alive in a much tougher game, traveling to Detroit to face the first-seeded Pistons. As many know, the Pistons […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. suffers LCL sprain in left elbow

Good lord, these hits just do not stop coming. A day after their win over the Memphis Grizzlies, the Sixers announced that Kelly Oubre Jr. suffered an LCL sprain in his left elbow. He will be reevaluated in approximately two weeks with updates to follow, per the team. The injury occurred early in the second […]

A vindicating night in a crazy year for Cameron Payne

The Sixers snapping their three-game losing streak was thanks in large part to Cam Payne dropping a new career-high 32 points, carrying them over the tanking Memphis Grizzlies. As a league-wide story it was already overshadowed by someone scoring the second-most points in a single NBA game. Bam Adebayo knocked Kobe Bryant down the list […]

Sixers longtime PA announcer Matt Cord will retire at end of 28th season

After 28 seasons as the in-arena voice of the Philadelphia 76ers, Matt Cord has announced he will retire, bringing an end to one of the longest-tenured runs as a PA announcer in NBA history. Cord’s path to the mic is a quintessential Philly story. He got his start in radio at 93.3 WMMR in the […]

Come on, they weren’t going to lose the Cam Payne game. The Sixers got back in the win column taking down the Memphis Grizzlies 139-129 Tuesday night.

Tyrese Maxey diagnosed with tendon injury, will be reevaluated in three weeks

Forget raining, it’s been pouring on this team for about a month now. The Sixers announced that Tyrese Maxey underwent imaging that revealed a tendon injury in his right fifth finger (a.k.a the pinkie). He will be reevaluated in approximately three weeks, per the team’s release. ESPN’s Shams Charania was the first to report. So, […]

Rockets Pick Tracker: Houston drops a couple ahead of tough week

It’s a bummer that for the second straight March, draft positioning has been the only thing worth rooting for so far. After losing four out of their last five games and injuries mounting, the Sixers have finally slipped out of the top-6 in the Eastern Conference, sitting firmly in the eighth seed at 34-30. Of […]
