VJ Edgecombe is wading through the waters of being a rookie as a key contributor on a playoff team. Paul George has even turned back the clock […]

Zach LaVine’s heave that fell wide to secure the Sixers 113-111 win over the Sacramento Kings could only bring more feelings of relief than joy. Despite it feeling prophesied that the Sixers must take every game down to the wire, they were 10-point favorites in this one. They were taking on a lottery team with […]

With the NBA trade deadline less than a week away, surely you’re thinking it: The Sixers better not duck the tax this year. Over the past several seasons, the Sixers have made moves to dip below the NBA’s luxury tax. Some deals were less egregious, but last year’s salary-dumping of KJ Martin to the Detroit […]

Shockwaves were felt across the NBA on Wednesday when ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the Milwaukee Bucks were, for the first time, genuinely listening to trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Philadelphia 76ers split their early-week back-to-back, losing to the Charlotte Hornets before beating the Milwaukee Bucks at home. Now they’ll face another team dealing with its own issues, the Sacramento Kings, for the first time this season. Man, oh man. Where do I even start breaking down this team? Fans who were around for […]

Let’s talk some ball in my latest “5 Sixers thoughts” column… Is Joel Embiid truly the most talented player Doc Rivers has ever coached? Rivers, the Bucks’ head coach now after formerly holding […]

Joel Embiid is doing things I never imagined he’d do again. After an MVP campaign in 2023, an All-World performance in 2024 that was cut short due to injury and a disastrous season for both him and the franchise all around last year, I was pretty out on this whole ordeal. Oh, the Sixers added […]

UPDATE 7 p.m. ET: Quentin Grimes has been downgraded to out for Tuesday hosting the Bucks, listed with a right ankle sprain. Joel Embiid remains questionable and Paul George is still probable (both for left knee injury management) with just over an hour before tipoff. It’s fitting that someone got dinged up in the worst […]

Just over 24 hours removed from being absolutely demolished by the Charlotte Hornets, the Philadelphia 76ers are back in action on Tuesday night to host the Milwaukee Bucks sans Giannis Antetokounmpo. It’s a good thing there’s a quick turnaround here. I don’t think the Sixers want more time to dwell on their last contest. On […]
