Oubre, Bona to miss time, Embiid, PG practice in full
As if that loss to the Pistons couldn’t get any worse. The Sixers returned to practice, and as is their tradition, had plenty of injuries to report, both new and old. Kelly Oubre Jr. suffered an awkward hyperextension of his left knee at the end of the first half in Detroit. The team has announced […]
McCain: ‘I feel a lot better’ after strong showing in Delaware
Jared McCain found his rhythm during his second outing for the Delaware Blue Coats. Following a slow start to the season, the Philadelphia 76ers second-year guard put up 15 points, making 6-of-13 attempts and six assists in 20 minutes against the Greensboro Swarm on Saturday. McCain once again had his minutes split up into two […]

Sixers waste opportunity with road loss to severely undermanned Pistons
Enough evidence has mounted and it is damning — the Sixers are not Cup risers. Philadelphia fell to the Detroit Pistons 114-105 in their second game of NBA Cup action Friday night. The Sixers are now 0-2 in group play. Tyrese Maxey once again led all scorers, going for 31 points on 13-of-31 shooting along […]

Sixers travel to Detroit for pivotal NBA Cup game
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off another close win over the Boston Celtics and, just as importantly, two days of much-needed rest. They’ll travel to Detroit to face the Pistons in their second NBA Cup game of the season. The Sixers lost their first matchup against the Celtics in October, making this game a key […]
VJ Edgecombe questionable, Joel Embiid out for Cup matchup vs. Pistons
Well, that’s no fun. The Sixers released their injury report ahead of their second NBA Cup matchup against the Detroit Pistons. VJ Edgecombe’s name has popped up — he is listed as questionable with back spasms. He did take a couple of hard falls in his most recent game against the Boston Celtics, but this […]
Sixers practice notebook: Barlow returns; PG out vs. Pistons
Well, it appears one reinforcement is on the way. No, Paul George will not make his season debut in Detroit Friday and Joel Embiid’s status is murky at best, but it looks like there’s a chance two-way forward Dominick Barlow could return to the lineup. The 22-year-old’s elbow laceration has healed enough to the point […]
Jared McCain assigned to Delaware Blue Coats
The Philadelphia 76ers have assigned Jared McCain to their G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. He is expected to practice and suit up for Thursday night’s game against the Greensboro Swarm, the Charlotte Hornets’ G League team. McCain has been working his way back from multiple injuries and has struggled to find his footing. […]
The Clippers’ mounting losses are the Sixers’ gain
The Sixers have gotten off to a fairly promising start to the 2025-26 NBA season. You know who hasn’t, though? The Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers dropped their sixth straight game Wednesday night against Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets. Kawhi Leonard has missed their past five games with a sprained ankle, while Bradley Beal […]
ESPN names Kelly Oubre Jr., Quentin Grimes as ‘Contract-Year All-Stars’
On Monday, ESPN’s Bobby Marks highlighted 12 potential free agents who’ve gotten off to a hot start in the 2025-26 season as his “Contract-Year All-Stars.” He excluded players who’ve previously made an All-Star or All-NBA team, which automatically disqualified the likes of LeBron James, James Harden and Trae Young. That opened the door for two […]
The shots aren’t falling, but VJ Edgecombe continues to make winning plays
The shot, a three-pointer from the right wing, looked like nine of the first 10 VJ Edgecombe attempted Tuesday night. Which is to say, it appeared to have no shot at all. “It hit back rim,” the Sixers’ rookie said. “I was like, ‘Ahhh.’” Then the ball bounced high in the air. “I was like, ‘OK, maybe […]
Justin Edwards knew his time would come
After a promising rookie season, Justin Edwards came back and had a bad summer league. He had a bad preseason as well — so much so that he was essentially out of the rotation by the time the regular season started, despite two forwards in Paul George and Trendon Watford not being healthy for opening […]
Sixers Bell Ringer: Red-hot shooting from Justin Edwards lifts Sixers to another crunch-time win

Paul George is in the ‘final stage’ of his return-to-play plan, Sixers say
Not only did the Sixers beat the hated Boston Celtics on Tuesday, but they got even more good news after the game. The last George update on Friday led to a temporary freakout so this is a far more welcome development. Better yet, head coach Nick Nurse also told reporters that Joel Embiid, who missed […]
Justin Edwards goes off as Sixers survive vs. Celtics
Getting crushed on the glass all night then winning on a last-second put-back is a good bit, can’t lie. The Sixers beat the Boston Celtics 102-100 Tuesday night thanks to a Kelly Oubre Jr. put-back with eight seconds left. Tyrese Maxey’s streak of 25 points or more came to an end, as he had 21 […]

Quentin Grimes switches representation to CAA
Following an unusual offseason saga that saw restricted free agent Quentin Grimes return to the Philadelphia 76ers by signing the one-year, $8.7 million qualifying offer, the 25-year-old guard is now switching his representation to Creative Artists Agency (CAA). CAA is a huge agency, with plenty of NBA stars in their portfolio, including Devin Booker, Karl-Anthony […]
Joel Embiid to miss Tuesday’s game vs. Celtics
Well, at least it’s the other knee, that’s a positive right? In a bit of surprising news, Joel Embiid will be out for Tuesday night’s home game against the Boston Celtics. The team said the former MVP is dealing with right knee soreness. Embiid is being evaluated by team doctors and further updates will be […]
Sixers debut 2025-26 city edition uniform
Fresh off the return of the Allen Iverson-era uniforms, the Sixers have added another look to their season lineup. On Tuesday morning, they unveiled their new City Edition uniforms, a design that should look familiar to longtime fans. You might recognize this design for one of two reasons. First, the Sixers wore a similar version […]
Sixers take on Celtics in crucial early-season showdown
The Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics are meeting for the third time in just three weeks to start the season. The Sixers took the first matchup on opening night the road, 117–116, before the Celtics evened the series with a 109–108 win. Combined, those two games were decided by only two points — a sign […]
Win or lose, Sixers are back to being appointment viewing
Things have (understandably) tailed off for the Philadelphia 76ers following the hot 4-0 start to the season. The undefeated season dream died, then the spot atop the Eastern Conference, and now we’re back to looking at them in the Play-In Tournament range. The quest for the NBA Cup also isn’t looking good after the group […]
Jared McCain is happy to be back, but hasn’t yet found his rhythm
Even as they get guys back on the court, it is still a ramp-up process for the Sixers. Jared McCain has been back for two games after injuring his thumb in preseason as well as still recovering from the knee injury that cut short his rookie season. His first game back in Chicago was certainly […]
