Latest news and updates about the 76ers
The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to establish some positive momentum after Sunday’s disappointing loss to the Boston Celtics. Even though they’ll be playing on the second night of a back-to-back, going up against this version of the Philadelphia 76ers should help them. The Sixers will be without their four best players: Joel Embiid (oblique), Tyrese […]
Paul George is still suspended. Joel Embiid is still recovering from a right oblique strain. Now, Tyrese Maxey is dealing with a sprain in his right pinky — the same pinky which he sprained last season and ended his 2024-25 campaign — and will miss the next two games at least. Rookie VJ Edgecombe is […]
UPDATE March 9, 1 p.m. ET: VJ Edgecombe will miss his third straight game due to a lumbar contusion after being downgraded to out for Sixers-Cavs on Monday. He was previously listed as questionable. The Sixers will now be without their top four scorers — Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, Edgecombe and Paul George — in […]

Coming off a blowout win against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Spurs returned home after their Rodeo Road Trip to face the number one seed in the East, the Detroit Pistons. The Spurs started hot, outscoring the Pistons 38-23 in the first quarter. De’Aaron Fox dropped 16 of his 29 points in the first quarter alone. […]
Well, that’s not the news you’re looking for heading into a tough road trip. The Sixers returned to practice Friday before hitting the road for Atlanta and Cleveland and with that came some injury updates. The team told reporters at practice that Joel Embiid (oblique strain) is progressing through individualized strength and conditioning work and […]
Oh, man, am I ready for the Spurs to be home. Probably not as ready as they are after all the time on the road, but excited all the same. The Rodeo Road Trip was a huge success and nearly perfect, sans the loss in Madison Square Garden. That said, following up the loss with […]
The Utah Jazz fell short against the Sixers, 106-102. For the most part, it was a duel between Keyonte George and Tyrese Maxey. George scored 30 points on 10/24 shooting from the field (41.7%) and 5/11 (45.5%) from three. It was very clear that Keyonte George was the equal of Tyrese Maxey, if not better. […]
The Spurs are back to their winning ways after a stumble in New York. They demolished the shorthanded 76ers in a 40-point blowout that saw eight players finish with 10 points or more. Among those 8 players, Victor Wembanyama was the closest to not reaching double digits. The big man only took five shots in […]
The Spurs knew the 76ers would be shorthanded coming into last night’s game in Philadelphia, with Joel Embiid out with an oblique strain and Paul George serving 25-game suspension for violating the league’s drug policy. What they didn’t know was just how quickly and badly they would overwhelm a squad that still had All-Star Tyrese […]
During NBC’s broadcast of the Spurs vs. 76ers on Tuesday March 3rd, they ran Episode 4 of Jayson Tatum’s Documentary ‘The Quiet Place.’ For as much speculation that has gone on about his return, the documentary dropping this quickly feels like a good sign that Tatum is coming back sooner rather than later. At the […]
On Tuesday night, NBC flashed back to the 1990s and the result was more entertaining than any episode of Friends I’ve seen. With the NBA once more on the network this season as part of the league’s changing media rights landscape, NBC did a retro broadcast of the Sixers-Spurs game in Philadelphia. I adored it, […]
Poke the bear and you get the horns. Something like that. Everyone and their tax advisor knew that coming off their first lost in 10 games, the Spurs would come out swinging on Tuesday night. Boy howdy, did they wax the cow off that haystack. Devin Vassell and Dylan Harper both had a game high […]
The SLC Dunk Staff and I were talking in our group chat recently and the topic of “The Process” came up. We were originally bashing the NBC/Peacock broadcast for airing a commercial that referred to the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers as “two teams that never rebuild, they just reload.” Apart from the blatant […]
San Antonio closed out an 8-1 Rodeo Road Trip with a 131-91 whipping of Philadelphia that saw eight Spurs get to double-digits scoring. Despite NBC’s pregame focus on the Sixers’ excellent starting guards, it was the Spurs’ perimeter players that stood tallest in a stunning 81-39 explosion across the second and third quarters that led […]
Another smashing success for the Sixers on national television. Philadelphia was trounced 131-91 by the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday night. They are 33-28, just a half game up and tied in the loss column with the Orlando Magic for the sixth seed. Tyrese Maxey, playing 25 minutes before the white flag was raised, put up […]
As if things weren’t going poorly enough, the Sixers will play the second half vs. the Spurs without VJ Edgecombe. The rookie guard injured his back after being fouled by Carter Bryant in the closing seconds of the first half. Edgecombe was able to get up and walk under his own power. He took the […]

At the NBA trade deadline, the Sixers only subtracted from their roster. They moved Jared McCain and Eric Gordon and received no NBA player in return. Daryl Morey was asked at his post-deadline presser if he believed in his team’s depth: “We feel like we’re a deep team. Again, people might not agree, but we […]
1. Hugo Gonzalez Career Night After Neemias Queta had a career night against the 76ers the night before, Hugo Gonzalez decided it was his turn to have the best game of his young career on the second night of a back-to-back in a commanding 108-81 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. In his third career start, […]
After bottoming out last season with the 3rd worst record in the Eastern Conference, the Philadelphia 76ers have been a fun but flawed team this year, in large part due to yet another impressive leap from lead guard Tyrese Maxey as well as the promising potential of rookie shooting guard VJ Edgecombe. As for their […]

Always good to beat the Sixers. I love how much they envy Celtics organization, front office and coach. Them trading for the #1 pick and taking Fultz instead of Tatum pretty much says it all. For all those years they tanked in the process, they don't have much to show for it. It cracked me up when they called Scheierman balding because he probably has the most hair on the team. And every fan base makes a big deal out of playing 4 white players. ...
