Sixers look to rebuild some momentum vs. Hawks, with fun matchups in store
Update, 1:30 p.m.: Joel Embiid has been upgraded from out to questionable. We’ll see if we get our first look at the Sixers’ actual starting five Sunday night. The season has taken a turn for the worse since the opening couple of weeks in a typically Sixersy way, with more injuries, star absences, and losses. […]
Sixers Bell Ringer: Philadelphia halts two-game slide with win over Nets
2025-26 Sixers Bell Ringer Standings:Tyrese Maxey – 7Andre Drummond – 2VJ Edgecombe – 2Dominick Barlow – 1Adem Bona – 1Justin Edwards – 1Quentin Grimes – 1Kelly Oubre Jr – 1Trendon Watford – 115th Roster Spot – 1 When things are trending in the wrong direction, as they have been lately for the Philadelphia 76ers, it’s […]
Shorthanded Sixers get more banged up, but take care of lowly Nets
The injury bug even bites hard in a much-needed win. The Sixers snapped a two-game skid, taking down the Brooklyn Nets 115-103 Friday night. This also mercifully put an end to the Sixers 2025 Emirates NBA Cup play. Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers with a modest 22 points, shooting 7-of-16 from the floor with nine […]

Sixers look to bounce back against Brooklyn Nets on the road
The Sixers are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Orlando Magic, getting blown out by 41 points on their own floor. The good news is that they now face arguably the worst team in the NBA this season, the Brooklyn Nets, which should give them a golden opportunity to get back in the win […]
Tyrese Maxey’s minutes continue to be a problem
My apologies to the sanctity of the NBA Cup, but watching the Sixers trot out Tyrese Maxey for 30-plus minutes in a 41-point loss on Tuesday evening is not sitting well with me. The Sixers were down their four non-Maxey starters against Orlando and this bad boy was over at halftime. Despite it all, there […]
It’s beginning to look like last season for the Sixers
The Sixers got off to a promising 5-1 start this season, but they’ve come crashing back to earth over the past few weeks. The bottom fell out Tuesday night against the Orlando Magic, as their injury-depleted husk of a roster got annihilated, 144-103, in by far the worst loss of the season. After the game, […]
The Sixers have a major roster construction problem (again)
Well, it’s Groundhog Day again. Or, at least, it certainly feels like it. The Philadelphia 76ers suffered their worst defeat of the early season on Tuesday night in front of a home crowd, falling 144-103 to the Orlando Magic in an NBA Cup game. Honestly, the score makes it sound somehow closer than it actually […]
Sixers Bell Ringer: Sixers fall into early tryptophan coma, pummeled by Magic

Sixers get steamrolled by Magic, crushing what little NBA Cups hopes were left
Good lord, they need to flush this one as quickly as fans will. The Sixers turned in their worst performance of the year, falling to the Orlando Magic 1444-103 in an effort that looked like it belonged to the 2024-25 squad. Tyrese Maxey once again led the Sixers in scoring, though this time it felt […]

Joel Embiid, Paul George out for Magic matchup
Is that an injury report with good news? The Sixers released theirs ahead of their NBA cup matchup at home against the Orlando Magic, and on it Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable. Embiid has missed the last seven games with a right knee injury. He was a late scratch back on Nov. 11 […]
Blue Coats Check-In: Tracking Broome, McCain, Bates, and Chandler
Much like the NBA season, the G League schedule is in full swing. And while the Sixers have had mixed results so far, the Sixers of tomorrow are taking shape just down I-95 in Wilmington with the Delaware Blue Coats. The Coats have seen a steady flow of NBA assignments and, as always, feature several […]
Sixers host Orlando Magic for NBA Cup game as they potentially welcome back Joel Embiid
The Philadelphia 76ers, sitting at 9-7, will look to notch another win against a Florida team on Tuesday. After falling to the Miami Heat, they’ll aim to bounce back quickly as the NBA Cup winds down. This will be the second and final time the Sixers host the Orlando Magic in the regular season. The […]
Where is the national outrage about the Washington Wizards’ rebuild?
The Washington Wizards currently boast the NBA’s worst record at 1-15 after the Toronto Raptors blew them out by 30 points on Friday and they lost a close game to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. Last Sunday, they got shellacked by the then-1-11 Brooklyn Nets. This slow start hasn’t been an outlier for them, either. […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: An uneven week for the Sixers
The Sixers have exchanged wins and losses for nine straight games. They haven’t won or lost consecutive games since dropping their Chicago-Cleveland back-to-back earlier this month. It feels kind of appropriate. Over the summer when many of you asked my expectations for this team, I said I believed they’d hover around .500 — that the […]
Sixers Bell Ringer: Sixers can’t recover from sleepy start

They got off to a slow start […]
Sixers’ offense sluggish in matinee loss to Heat
Who amongst us hasn’t started out sluggish early on a Sunday? The Sixers lost to the Miami Heat 127-117 Sunday afternoon. Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers in scoring, putting up 27 points on 10-of-27 shooting. He played the whole game tugging at his shoulder, and went back to the locker room holding it once the […]

Sixers host Heat in Sunday matinee
It’s a big sports Sunday for the city of Philadelphia. The Eagles are in Dallas and kids across the City of Brotherly Love are boxing giant punching bags sporting the faces of Cowboys players. The Union are hosting a single-elimination quarterfinals playoff match tonight against New York City FC. First, though, the Sixers are looking […]
Edgecombe, Embiid, Bona all out for Sunday vs. Heat
The Philadelphia 76ers injury report for Sunday’s afternoon contest against the Miami Heat is out. There is a handful of names on it — some expected, some not so expected. Let’s go through it. The biggest surprise of the injury report is the appearance of rookie VJ Edgecombe, who is questionable for Sunday afternoon with […]
Tyrese Maxey Foundation hosts largest turkey giveaway yet, hands out 3,000 meals in North Philadelphia
Tyrese Maxey is making an impact. And no, I’m not talking about putting up a career-high 54 points for the Philadelphia 76ers just a few days ago in their win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Saturday morning in North Philadelphia, the Sixers’ guard was putting up even bigger numbers. For the fourth year in a row, […]
Why Tyrese Maxey’s hot start is a great lesson
It was Game 5 at Madison Square Garden. The Sixers were beaten and battered, trailing the series 3-1 to New York. Joel Embiid was essentially playing on one leg and battling Bell’s Palsy. With the Knicks holding a six-point lead with 28.9 seconds left, it felt like it was over — the series, the season, […]
