The sky remains the limit for Tyrese Maxey as he reaches his 25th birthday
Where would the Sixers be without the 2020 bubble heroics of Mike Muscala? A couple of seemingly irrelevant threes in a game that August for Muscala’s Thunder in a win against the Heat allowed the Sixers to keep their first-round pick in that year’s draft. With the 21st pick, the Sixers landed Kentucky guard Tyrese […]

Quentin Grimes’ career-high 13 assists redemption for blunder in Celtics loss
Last Friday, the Philadelphia 76ers failed to get a shot off in their final possession down just one point to the Boston Celtics with 3.5 seconds to play.
