Sixers travel to New York striving to stay undefeated in 2026
Happy New Year! I hope 2026 has started as well for you as it did for the Philadelphia 76ers, who had one of their finer performances of the season in taking down the Dallas Mavericks, 123-108, on New Year’s Day. Now, the Sixers will head back up to Madison Square Garden to face the New […]
The Sixers are playing well — just soak it in
Sixers fandom has undergone a decade-long metamorphosis. The Process brought about losing, but with a ray of hope. The Colangelo Era was bizarre and filled with screwups, but the team won a little bit. Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons turning into All-Stars made fans downright cocky. Jimmy Butler’s tenure felt like a fever dream. Most […]
New Year’s resolutions for star rookie VJ Edgecombe
The hype continues to build in the rookie campaign of VJ Edgecombe. The third-overall pick in last summer’s NBA Draft, Edgecombe has dazzled this past week. He nailed a game-winning overtime three-pointer in a win in Memphis on Tuesday and followed it up with 23 points and five stocks in a victory over the Mavericks […]

A win to kill all agenda wars, how nice. The Sixers knocked off the Dallas Mavericks 123-108 Thursday night. Tyrese Maxey had another exciting homecoming, leading all scorers with 34 points with 10 assists and eight rebounds going 14-of-24 from the floor. VJ Edgecombe shot 9-of-14 to go for 23 points, five rebounds, two assists […]

Your Philadelphia 76ers will begin the year in Dallas, taking on the Mavericks, a matchup that features two of the most exciting rookies in the NBA in Cooper Flagg and VJ Edgecombe. The Mavericks have […]
Now five years sober, the routine is never routine for former Sixer Mike Gminski
The news conference, Mike Gminski’s first as a 76er, was winding down. And now Gminski, just over in a trade from the Nets that day in January 1988, made a beeline for a rack of balls in the corner of the St. Joe’s gym, where the Sixers practiced at the time. Still in street clothes, he […]
5 Sixers thoughts: What the ‘Big 3’ holds, online discourse and more
As we get set to roll into the New Year, here’s a series of thoughts I have on the good ol’ Philadelphia 76ers as of late… The discourse around the minimum games played threshold is a joke So, as you’re all aware, the NBA implemented a rule a couple of years ago that players needed […]

Do the Sixers have a Big 3 problem? That might be oversimplifying things
Just a week ago, the Sixers were 16-11 and trending up in the standings. Joel Embiid dropped 39 points in a win over the Indiana Pacers, the most he’d scored since a Game 6 loss against the New York Knicks back in 2024. Paul George recorded a Sixers-high 35 points in a tight road loss […]
Can Sixers break out of their slump vs. Grizzlies?
The Sixers have had their fair share of tough opponents this month. They’ve picked up some solid wins, including victories over the Warriors and Knicks, yet they’re now sitting on a three-game losing streak after their latest loss to the juggernaut that is the Oklahoma City Thunder following a valiant effort in the first half. […]
Joel Embiid questionable for matchup vs. injury-riddled Grizzlies
The Philadelphia 76ers have dropped their last three games and their next opportunity to get back in the win column comes Tuesday night when they take on the Memphis Grizzlies. This is their third game of a five-game road trip. As of Monday evening, Joel Embiid is listed as questionable for the contest due to […]
Tyrese Maxey fourth overall in first All-Star voting returns, second in the East
The All-Star break is fast approaching! Fan voting started just a few weeks ago, and now we have the first round of returns. As always, there are some surprises, some strange results, and some outright bad voting. Starting with the Eastern Conference, Milwaukee’s (?) Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the conference — which, in hindsight, is a […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: That was not a very good week
Last week, I posed the question — are the Sixers good? Well, in the time since, the team dropped three straight games to the Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder. They’ve started a season-long, five-game road trip 0-2 (and the next three games are no picnic) and have a 16-14 record, which is […]

Sixers hang tough early in OKC, but reigning champs dominate second half
Well, that’s why you need to beat the Nets and the Bulls. The Oklahoma City Thunder handed the Sixers their third loss in a row when they fell 129-104 Sunday afternoon. Tyrese Maxey slowed down after a brilliant first quarter, leading the Sixers with 28 points, five assists and four steals shooting 10-of-18 from the […]

Sixers continue road trip against defending champion Thunder
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off arguably their worst two-game stretch of the season, a dreadful performance in a home loss to the Brooklyn Nets, and then a late-game collapse to see a victory slip through their fingers in Chicago. It would be nice if the Sixers had a soft landing spot coming up with […]
Joel Embiid out Sunday against Thunder
Philadelphia will be missing a big piece of its starting lineup when they square off against the defending champion Thunder Sunday afternoon in Oklahoma City. On Saturday evening, the Sixers designated Joel Embiid as out due to right knee injury management and a right ankle sprain. Paul George was listed as probable by the team, […]
Do the Sixers have an identity issue?
At this point, calling Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George a “Big 3” is highly offensive to real trios of superstars that have taken the floor together for other teams. But that was at least what Daryl Morey and company envisioned when George signed with the team in the 2024 offseason. But that vision […]
