Sixers sign Dillon Jones to Exhibit 10 contract
The Sixers have signed Dillon Jones to an Exhibit 10 contract. Jones was the 26th overall pick back in 2024, selected by the Washington Wizards before being traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder on draft night. He made 54 appearances for the Thunder in his rookie season, playing 10 minutes a game averaging 2.5 points […]

Why Jaylen Brown’s infamous ‘favorite season’ quote could bode well for the Sixers
In May, Jaylen Brown was down bad. The Sixers had just pulled off their first-ever 3-1 series comeback in franchise history to beat Brown’s Celtics in the playoffs for the first time in more than 40 years. That also marked the Celtics’ first blown 3-1 lead in franchise history. (We truly hate to see it.) […]
Report: Sixers executive Ariana Andonian becoming new Los Angeles Sparks general manager
The Philadelphia 76ers have seen major shakeups in their executive ranks this offseason. Daryl Morey was let go back in May, setting the stage for Mike Gansey to arrive as the new President of Basketball Operations and the promotion of Jameer Nelson into the vice president role. Now, a member of the front office hired […]
Why didn’t the Sixers sign Ben Simmons?
Earlier this offseason, Ben Simmons hinted that he was eyeing a return to the NBA after taking the 2025-26 season off. He told Clay Skipper of Men’s Health that he didn’t “have a plan on where” he would sign, before adding, “Maybe I’ll go back to Philly.” He is not going back to Philly. Instead, […]
Joel Embiid’s Best Playoff Games, Part II: Game 5 vs Celtics in 2026
We started this series by looking back on one of Joel Embiid’s early postseasons with the Sixers, as the big man had a dominant Game 3 in 2019 against Toronto. At that time, fans were viewing the Sixers in a very positive light. Fast forward seven years to 2026, and fans had all but tapped […]
Schedule Preview, Part IV: The home stretch
You got to hand it to baseball on this one, the dog days of August sounds a lot better than the dog days of March. This is the conclusion to our 2026-27 schedule preview; previous installments can be found here, here, and here. The Sixers’ final 20 games of the upcoming season will feature their […]
The Kawhi Leonard Clippers punishment and how it impacts the Sixers
Nearly a year to the day that Pablo Torre published his first episode reporting on the Kawhi Leonard cap circumvention saga with a company called Aspiration, the league has finally doled out punishment to both Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers certainly came away worse for wear than the All-NBA forward they signed […]
Schedule Preview, Part III: The return
Welcome back to our in-depth schedule preview for the Sixers’ 2026-27 season (here’s a look back at part one and part two). Part three will be picking the schedule back up in the middle of January and stretching through the beginning of March. It’s another spread out part of the season as it contains the […]
Sixers announce three training camp signings
Training camp really is on the horizon. The Sixers announced the signings of Tacko Fall, Jameer Nelson Jr., and Saint Thomas. Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com was the first to report that these are indeed Exhibit-10 deals, and will be eligible for two-way contracts. That last bit is notable, as Aaronson reported earlier this summer that […]
VJ Edgecombe soars in The Bahamas’ win over Panama
After not traveling with the squad to Uruguay for The Bahamas’ latest FIBA World Cup Qualifying win, VJ Edgecombe suited up for his home country against Panama in Nassau on Monday night. Anyone not rooting for Panama was happy VJ made the trip, as the 21-year-old went off for 25 points, five rebounds, and four […]
6 in-season free-agent options for the Sixers to consider
The NBA’s few remaining notable agents not named Jalen Duren have started flying off the board over the past few weeks. Peyton Watson is now a Cleveland Cavalier. DeMar DeRozan is now a Denver Nugget. Jonathan Kuminga is now a Minnesota Timberwolf? Sure, whatever. The latest came Thursday when the Heat landed Nick Richards on […]
Get the best of Liberty Ballers on the new SB Nation app
It’s a big day for Liberty Ballers. Today, the SB Nation app is live, and it’s the best way to follow LeBron James, Jaylen Brown and the new-look Sixers. (LeBron James and Jaylen Brown are Sixers. I know you know this, but it’s still fun to be reminded.) You can download it by searching SB […]
Tyrese Maxey has taken many forms as a Sixer — this season will be no different
Being a dad is a special feeling. No job is harder, but no job is more rewarding. Surely Tyrese Maxey has applied his 1% better every day philosophy to fatherhood. The Sixers’ star guard became a dad to a baby girl this offseason. Baby Marvel — Tyrese loves Spider-Man and The Avengers movies — has […]
Report: Bahamas hope for VJ Edgecombe to return in FIBA World Cup qualifiers vs. Panama
It’s been a busy summer for VJ Edgecombe’s first offseason as a pro. Apart from all the work he’s been putting into his game, he’s been representing the Bahamas in the 2027 FIBA World Cup qualifiers. Edgecombe didn’t play on Thursday in the Bahamas’ 103-94 win against Uruguay, as Buddy Hield led the way instead […]
Joel Embiid’s best playoff games, Part I: Game 3 vs. Raptors in 2019
With the NBA calendar in its normal quiet period, now felt like a good time to talk about some of Joel Embiid’s best playoff performances with the Sixers entering yet another season in which a deep playoff run will be the expectation. We’ve made a list of Embiid’s five best playoff games and will roll […]
Schedule Preview, Part II: The longest road trip, a couple tough tests at home
If there’s one thing everyone loves doing at the end of August, it’s figuring out their plans for January. In this series, we are breaking down the Sixers 2026-27 schedule into chunks to try to preview how each stretch of the season will go. Part 1 is already available here. The second quarter of the […]
Bob Myers to Jaylen Brown: “Don’t ever underestimate that you are a champion”
Earlier this offseason, Bob Myers went on the Game Over podcast with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul and pitched LeBron James coming to Philadelphia. I don’t know how much of a direct impact that had on King James selecting the Sixers in his free agent search, but consider me officially on board with any future […]
Schedule Preview, Part I: East-heavy with four back-to-backs
NBA basketball is approaching closer than it might seem. As the final holdouts from free agency have agreed to deals, we’re only about a month out from Media Day and the start of training camp. With the full 82-game schedule plus NBA Cup groupings having been released, now’s a good a time as any to […]
The NBA is missing a golden opportunity with this year’s Sixers
The NBA has yet to officially confirm all of the uniforms that each team will be wearing during the 2026-27 season, but as usual, the sickos at NBA Uniform Tracker are doing the Lord’s work this offseason. In late July, they revealed that the Sixers would be bringing back their 2017-18 “City Edition” jerseys this […]
Eight years after Brett Brown went ‘star hunting,’ the one he really wanted lands in Philly
Eight years ago, Brett Brown memorably said that the Sixers were poised to go “star hunting.” Now they have a bunch of them – including the one he coveted back then. Brown is 65 now, and six years removed from a seven-year run as the Sixers’ coach – a tenure that took the franchise through […]
Fresh NBA power rankings set high expectations for new-look Sixers
We’ve finally, mercifully reached the quiet part of the NBA calendar, James Harden’s latest eye-popping contract notwithstanding. That triggered a fresh batch of power rankings and standings projections across the basketball internet in recent days. On Monday, Law Murray of The Athletic put the Sixers fourth in his latest power rankings, trailing only the reigning […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: What’s on your mind?
We’ve reached that point of the offseason. The only thing the Sixers have room to add right now —barring a trade — is a third two-way contract. For the most part, the roster is set. The schedule for the 2026-27 has been released. The next thing on the agenda will be media day, likely our […]
VJ Edgecombe participates in another Rico Hines run
What, you thought just because Ben Simmons isn’t around here anymore that offseason workout footage went out the window? Our watch never ends, ladies and gentlemen. Philadelphia 76ers second-year guard VJ Edgecombe recently participated in another Rico Hines private run (games to nine points by ones and twos). We had you covered with one from […]
Sixers hosting new merchandise sale at Xfinity Mobile Arena
With LeBron James and Jaylen Brown added to a Philadelphia 76ers roster that upset the Boston Celtics and reached the second round of the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs last season, excitement is certainly high heading into the 2026-27 season. When we’re talking about two former NBA Finals MVPs wearing Sixers jerseys for the first time, […]
