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. […]

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 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 […]

Sixers have another ugly close in Chicago to start road trip on losing note

Well, they got those three guys going, time to figure out the rest of the team. The Sixers, unable to provide any support to Joel Embiid, lost 108-102 to the Chicago Bulls Friday night. They’re now 0-4 when Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Embiid all play. Embiid led all scorers with 31 points shooting 10-of-19 […]

Sixers look to get back on track, begin road trip visiting Bulls

Update, Dec. 26, 1:45 p.m. ET: VJ Edgecombe, Dominick Barlow and Quentin Grimes have all be upgraded to probable (illness). Joel Embiid (right knee injury management) remains questionable. Hopefully two days off was enough time for the Philadelphia 76ers to flush the memory of their last performance. The Sixers are back in action on Friday […]

Report: Sixers to sign MarJon Beachamp to two-way deal

Shortly after falling to the Brooklyn Nets, Tony Jones of the Athletic has reported that the Sixers will be signing MarJon Beauchamp to a two-way deal, and will be waiving Hunter Sallis in a corresponding move. Beauchamp has been in the Sixers’ organization since the preseason. […]

Sixers play like a lump of coal vs. lowly Nets

The Sixers gave their fans plenty of reasons to have problems with them, and it’s their turn to hear about it. Philadelphia laid an egg, falling 114-106 to the Brooklyn Nets Tuesday night, a game that certainly wasn’t as close as the final score indicates. Back after missing the last two games, Joel Embiid dropped […]
