Matt Cord forgoes retirement to return as Sixers PA announcer for 29th season
You just knew this was too big of a Sixers season to not have Matt Cord on the mic. After initially retiring following the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign, Cord will instead return as public address announcer at Xfinity Mobile Arena for Philadelphia 76ers’ home games for the upcoming season. It will be his 29th […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: We’re getting close …
Sixers media day will take place on Sept. 28. That will be our first chance to hear from LeBron James (who is a Sixer now, by the way). Training camp starts the next day. So, what’s on your mind as we inch closer to the start of the season? Anything you’re hoping to hear from […]
The NBA’s new 2027-28 salary-cap projection bodes well for the Sixers
This offseason, new Sixers president of basketball operations Mike Gansey turned lemons into fresh-squeezed lemonade. Not only did the Sixers flip Paul George for Jaylen Brown and sign LeBron James to a minimum contract, but they also rounded out their depth by splitting the non-taxpayer mid-level exception between Anfernee Simons and Dean Wade and spending […]
Jabari Walker doesn’t have a clear role, but it’s obvious the Sixers see his value
As this series has tackled, the Sixers did pretty well on the two-way market in the 2025 offseason. Jabari Walker, along with Dominick Barlow, was picked up and eventually given a standard contract by the Sixers. Last season Walker played 64 games and started six of them. He averaged 11 minutes a game and put […]
Ranking the Sixers’ biggest threats in the Eastern Conference
For the first time in roughly forever, the Eastern Conference appears to be loaded this year. The reigning champion New York Knicks are atop the conference for now, but the Sixers and others will be nipping at their heels all season as they vie for East supremacy. The Sixers loaded up by adding LeBron James […]
Can the Sixers replicate their two-way success from a season ago?
OK, it’s not like they have to after having one of the splashiest offseasons of all time. In recent history, the Sixers haven’t been the most prolific at finding cheap, productive talent on the two-way market, but that wasn’t the case in 2025. Last offseason they brought in Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker, both of […]

It […]
Jaylen Brown participates in boxing exhibition
Now playing in the city that has a famous statue of a fictional boxer, Jaylen Brown is truly embracing that spirit of combat sport. Earlier this week, Brown participated in an exhibition boxing match in Lagos, Nigeria, in support of his non-profit, The 7uice Foundation. It continues an offseason of questionably dangerous off-the-court activities for […]
Ranking the Exhibit 10 players by level of intrigue
The Sixers are bringing in four players on Exhibit 10 contracts: Dillon Jones, Saint Thomas, Jameer Nelson, Jr. and, easily the most recognizable of all, Tacko Fall. As a refresher, an Exhibit 10 contract is essentially a camp invite where the signee is financially incentivized by the signing team to join its G League affiliate. […]
Will the new-look Sixers bring out the ‘mad scientist’ Nick Nurse?
When Nick Nurse took over as the Sixers’ head coach ahead of the 2023-24 season, players were buzzing with excitement about his energy and creativity. But with Joel Embiid and Paul George cycling in and out of the lineup over the past two seasons, Nurse hasn’t gotten many chances to show off that side of […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: I’m back, baby
I’m back this week and ready to answer your Sixers-related questions. It’s been relatively quiet, but the Sixers did make a series of Exhibit 10 signings. For those unfamiliar, an Exhibit 10 deal is essentially a training camp contract with an added financial incentive for the player to join the signing team’s G League affiliate. […]
Former Sixers POBO Bryan Colangelo hired as advisor to BC Roma
Things are going well for the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason, so I think it’s safe to touch on a topic from a time when things were much more…turbulent. The reason? Former Sixers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo has been hired as an advisor by Italian professional club BC Roma. First off, it’s nice for […]
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 […]
Sixers reveal first exterior renderings of future arena slated for 2030
The Philadelphia 76ers along with the Philadelphia Flyers have revealed the first glimpse at their future home in South Philadelphia. Exterior renderings were released today by the Sixers and Flyers of the new arena that will host not only their games, but also the games of the future Philadelphia WNBA team as well as concerts […]
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 […]

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 […]
