On Thursday, the Washington Wizards announced that their City Edition jerseys are a return to their pink cherry blossom-themed jerseys. These jerseys were first released in the 2022-23 NBA season.

The Sixers will have a first-round draft pick this summer courtesy of the Jared McCain trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder. That pick comes via the Houston Rockets and should land somewhere in the 20s.

2026 NBA Draft stock up, stock down after first weekend of March Madness

The NCAA Tournament rarely tanks a prospect’s draft stock.

Here are a few of the payers who have had […]

The Sixers are pulling me back in with a chance to climb back up the standings

It’s no secret that things got dark recently as a Philadelphia 76ers fan. The trade deadline deal shipping Jared McCain to Oklahoma City for draft picks cast a pall over everything. Not long after, nearly every Sixers regular got injured (or suspended) to the point where Nick Nurse was throwing out “Who’s that guy again?” […]

If the NBA Expansion Draft Were Today, Which Blazers Would You Protect?

Yesterday news broke that the NBA is moving towards expansion in Seattle and Las Vegas. This will be welcome news to neighbors to the north of the Portland Trail Blazers, who have been languishing without an NBA franchise since 2008.

1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin’ New): Blackhawks at Flyers

The Chicago Blackhawks kick off a back-to-back set Thursday night, continuing their East Coast swing with a stop in Philadelphia to take on the Flyers. Like the New York Islanders on Tuesday, it’s been since late December that the Blackhawks last faced the Flyers, but it’s been more of a downhill slide for the team from Philly over the past few months. Back when the two teams faced off before Christmas, the Flyers were sitting second in the Metropolitan Division and in the Eastern Confere...
