Through all the athletic highs and exciting signs of his potential, Adem Bona’s 2025-26 season was a mixed bag. The flaws are clear with Bona. Unfortunately, issues like his tendency for errors and spells of too many fouls, somewhat lacking defensive rebounding, and questionable touch around the rim can be glaring when he’s having an […]

There’s something to be said for a guy that just has impeccable vibes. After an enjoyable four months back in 2021-22, the Sixers brought back Andre Drummond in the 2024 offseason to be the Joel Embiid backup capable of eating a lot of regular season innings to help the workload. It got off to a […]
The New York juggernaut keeps rolling on, as the Knicks won both games in San Antonio to make it 13 straight postseason victories.

In is Mike Gansey, who previously served as the general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Gansey spoke to reporters for the first time at the team’s practice […]
Are you interested in a big man that plays a lot of minutes on a lot of nights and eats rebounds for breakfast, lunch and dinner? If so, and most Sixers fans should be, then Hannes Steinbach is your guy. The 20-year-old German had a very strong freshman campaign statistically at the University of Washington […]
It was a big year for 23-year-old Dominick Barlow. The forward joined the Philadelphia 76ers last summer, prior to the 2025-26 season, on a two-way contract. Back then, no one – likely not even Barlow himself – knew just how integral he would become in the Sixers’ rotation throughout the season. And he was thrown […]

The Sixers will reportedly promote Jameer Nelson to executive vice president of basketball operations, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.

By any objective measure, Jabari Walker’s first season with the Philadelphia 76ers was a success. Signed last July to a two-way contract after spending three seasons with Portland, Walker ended up playing an important role for a Sixers team that often found itself thin in the frontcourt. He appeared in 64 regular-season games for Philadelphia, […]

It was an up-and-down season for the Philadelphia 76ers in general, but especially so for Trendon Watford. The 25-year-old forward appeared in 53 games for the Sixers this season, starting in seven and averaging 16.3 minutes a night. Opportunity was far from consistent for Watford, though, as he worked in and out of the rotation […]
It’s the battle we’ve all been waiting for: Julian Champagnie vs. Landry Shamet with a title on the line. Former Sixers roster miscues aside, this NBA Finals should be a fun one for a neutral observer.

If you’ve ever found yourself falling in love with a draft prospect’s athletic traits, you’re going to like Karim Lopez. He’s pegged as a prospect that could go anywhere from the end of the lottery to the mid 20s. Lopez has enough glaring weaknesses to create some division in opinion amongst talent evaluators while also […]
The Sixers sure did corner the market on mid-first-rounders from the 2022 draft. While the team’s biggest addition of the 2026 trade deadline may have been converting Dominick Barlow from a two-way to a standard NBA contract, it at least gave them more flyers to take for the rest of the season. After Barlow was […]
Welcome back, friends. Multiple reports indicate the Sixers will hire Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Mike Gansey as the next president of basketball operations. I’m cautiously optimistic about the hire. The word is he was a big part of the Cavs’ drafting and development of players, something the franchise did very well. It also sounds like […]
