Sixers drop controversial thriller vs. Hawks as refs miss obvious call late
It’s also a good bit that when they do win the third quarter, they end up losing the game. The Sixers and Atlanta Hawks once again came down to the final buzzer Sunday evening, with Philadelphia falling short 120-117. Paul George continued to look like the Paul George the Sixers paid for, leading all scorers […]

A statement game? For Joel Embiid, it was just a win with a group he loves
There was a time not so long ago where a Joel Embiid 39-point performance wouldn’t have moved the needle. There were nights when the former MVP got that done in three quarters. The 39 points Embiid poured in Friday night in a 115-105 win over the Indiana Pacers felt a little different. First off, it […]
Sixers look to start building momentum in matchup vs. Hawks
It may not have been against the toughest opponent, but the Sixers returned from their extra time off with a comfortable 115-105 win against the Pacers. As they played without Tyrese Maxey for the first time this season, it was a solid performance led by what was Joel Embiid’s best game of the season by […]
Watch all 39 points of Joel Embiid’s season-best performance vs. Pacers
The Philadelphia 76ers grabbed their 14th win of the season on Friday night, defeating the visiting Indiana Pacers 115-105, even with Tyrese Maxey sidelined due to illness. Even more encouraging than the victory itself was the sight of Joel Embiid’s best performance of the season by a fair margin — not only statistically so, but […]

Tyrese Maxey ruled out vs Pacers with an illness
‘Tis the season for giving, but also the season for the sniffles. Tyrese Maxey will officially miss his first game of the season as the Sixers ruled him out with an illness ahead of their matchup ahead of the Indiana Pacers. Maxey initially popped up on the injury report as probable with said illness, before […]
Andre Drummond has proven to be the biggest pleasant surprise for the Sixers
With the NBA Cup providing a break in the schedule for the Philadelphia 76ers earlier this week, it was a good time to reflect on the first quarter of the regular season. While the Sixers have certainly had some letdowns since the season first tipped off back in October, I think anyone would have realistically […]
Can Sixers return strong after their extra rest?
Hopefully for the Sixers, the extra rest will have done them some good. Thanks to scheduling around the NBA Cup, the Sixers have been given four days off to rest, reset, and hopefully get a tad healthier following their 112-108 loss to the Lakers. On Friday, they’re returning with a more favorable matchup: the 6-18 […]
Delaware Blue Coats acquire rights to Charles Bassey
It’s not trade season in the NBA yet, but that hasn’t stopped G League teams from staying active. The Philadelphia 76ers’ affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats, made a move on Thursday by sending Emoni Bates to the Texas Legends for the G League rights to a familiar face, Charles Bassey. Bates joined the Sixers organization […]
The NBA Cup makes the schedule weird, but the Sixers can again benefit from it
It’s been a weird week for the casual NBA fan flipping from game to game on League Pass. The options have dwindled as about 75% of the league has gone idle for the teams that have advanced to the knockout stage of the NBA Cup continue the tournament. It’s given teams like the Sixers something […]
Maybe Joel Embiid deserves an ounce of grace
The Philadelphia Eagles are struggling. They’ve now lost three games in a row — the latest a turnover-filled mess in overtime against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football. Just eight months ago, Jalen Hurts was the MVP of Super Bowl LIX as the team ended a dominant season in dominant fashion. Today, the […]
Is Tyrese Maxey’s leap big enough to make the Sixers consider a Giannis trade?
Just hear me out, alright. Our fearless leader Paul Hudrick wrote earlier this week about the Sixers’ best path to title contention. Most are definitely taking a wait-and-see approach to this season because there is just a lot of figuring out still to do with this roster. As he points out though, it appears the […]
The Sixers’ path to contention would likely come from an internal source
Before the 2025-26 season began, there was a sector of Sixers fans who wondered what the team’s tanking path could look like with Joel Embiid and Paul George both recovering from knee surgeries. There were some who pondered what the team could get for Tyrese Maxey in a trade. Others even thought about using Jared […]
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. […]
