More things have gone right than not thus far during the 2025-26 season for the Philadelphia 76ers, as we have plenty of positive takeaways from the team’s 14-11 start.

Big Bird made the fewest appearances and played the fewest minutes since he ascended to the First Team in 2019. We can only guess how many goals involvements – and wins – he would have contributed to this New York City FC squad in 2025.
