The Philadelphia 76ers head into their next game, a home matchup against the mighty Cleveland Cavaliers, eager to end a seven-game losing streak.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons has had his fair share of criticism since leaving the Philadelphia 76ers. While his exit was abrupt and not appreciated by many, he’s had a change of heart. After Simmons was recently ruled out in a Nets loss to the 76ers, his appreciation for his former club resurfaced. He explained […]

As hectic as the Philadelphia 76ers season has been, center Joel Embiid has been at the forefront of it, and not for good reasons. For starters, he missed the beginning portion of the season due to injury. However, when he came back, there were some problems. One of those was when 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are in the middle of an uncharacteristically poor year as they are currently 15-27 and in 11th place in the Eastern Conference. If the season ended today, the 76ers wouldn’t even make the play-in tournament. With the NBA trade deadline approaching in just a couple weeks, perhaps the team should be thinking […]

The Denver Nuggets and the Philadelphia 76ers squared off in Denver on Tuesday night in a rivalry game, but one part of the rivalry was missing. 76ers star Joel Embiid missed this game due to his knee injury that he has been managing throughout the season, so Nikola Jokic was the only superstar big man […]

Tyrese Maxey and the Philadelphia 76ers (15-27) are enduring a torrential downpour of disappointment right now, one that is becoming increasingly more difficult to withstand.

Joel Embiid missed the opportunity to play in Denver for […]

Playing in Denver is one mile-high club that Joel Embiid apparently wants no part of. How else do you explain the fact that he hasn’t played against Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets at Ball Arena the past FIVE seasons?! Nikola Jokic vs Joel Embiid is the definitive big man matchup of this generation, yet for […]

In the Philadelphia 76ers’ wild win over the San Antonio Spurs from a month ago, Andre Drummond and Joel Embiid both had run-ins with referees that turned a conventional game on its head. The former was ejected and then reinstated and the latter was ejected for good in a crazy win over Victor Wembanyama’s squad. […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are facing the Denver Nuggets to conclude a three-game road trip. Joel Embiid has already been ruled out and is one of the many Sixers dealing with an injury.

Although the Philadelphia 76ers signed Paul George in free agency, the expectations were high from Brian Windhorst. After a Big 3 of Joel Embiid, an emerging Tyrese Maxey, and George, much of the conversation was about competing for an NBA championship. However, an abrupt start put a halt on any kind of momentum. Windhorst explained […]

Things haven’t boded well for Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers throughout the 2024-25 NBA season. And with Embiid having several absences, Andre Drummond came to the star’s defense. Drummond was a special guest on an episode of the Podcast P with Paul George presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment, uploaded to YouTube on Monday. The […]

Milwaukee Bucks All-Star Damian Lillard reached a career milestone in Sunday’s 123-109 win against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry showed some support for the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday evening.

The Philadelphia 76ers have hoped to get Joel Embiid back in action as he battles a foot injury. Unfortunately, the big man suffered a setback in his troublesome left knee that will sideline him for at least three more games. The medical update from the 76ers reads as follows: “Joel Embiid participated in an on-court […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are in a tough position; at 15-24, Philly is in 11th in the Eastern Conference, and while the roster would normally indicate a contender-level team, the constant injury struggles have made it less and less likely the Sixers will be able to salvage this season. After signing Paul George in the offseason […]

Coming into the season, the Philadelphia 76ers were seen as one of the most likely teams to make a sizable trade. Now, with a losing record and uncertainty of the team’s ability to get into the playoffs looming, it’s tougher to tell what they choose to do ahead of the 2025 NBA trade deadline. Joel […]

As the NBA trade deadline looms, the Philadelphia 76ers’ season is gradually trending in the wrong direction. Following a 15-24 start, the initial expectations to make a deep playoff run have gone from bad to worse, with injuries and unmet performance goals from certain members of the roster. Sunday’s 104-99 loss to the Orlando Magic […]

The 2024-25 season has been straight out of the Philadelphia 76ers’ nightmares. They entered the campaign with such high hopes after bringing in two-way star Paul George on a max contract, as they believed that George will be the missing piece to the 76ers’ championship puzzle. However, the 76ers can only go so far without […]

No one on the Philadelphia 76ers wanted their 2024-25 season to go the way it has currently gone. All the excitement around the Big 3 of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George has run dry — and it almost certainly won’t be coming back soon. The Sixers fell to 15-24 on the season in […]

The severely undermanned Philadelphia 76ers (15-24) concluded a tough back-to-back with a matchup against the New York Knicks (27-15).

His left foot sprain has […]

The Philadelphia 76ers put up a solid effort in their 118-102 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, trailing by only six heading into the fourth quarter of a game that did not feature Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and several other rotation players. Unfortunately, they couldn’t hold on for the win and now have […]

The New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers meet in one of Wednesday night’s biggest games on the schedule.

The teams […]

Finding a way to beat the dominant Oklahoma City Thunder is an onerous chore even when at full strength, but the Philadelphia 76ers entered Tuesday night’s showdown frighteningly thin.

Ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers’ home matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George have been added to the injury report.

The Philadelphia 76ers are beginning a tough back-to-back with their first matchup of the season against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Thunder are still playing like one of the best teams in the NBA, while the 76ers have struggled to find consistency this season. It’s time to continue our NBA odds series with a Thunder-76ers prediction and pick. The Thunder have looked amazing this year, largely thanks to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s MVP-caliber season. Jalen Williams has […]

It’s been a strenuous 2024-25 campaign for Philadelphia 76ers veteran Paul George. Pairing him with the 2023 MVP Joel Embiid and All-Star Tyrese Maxey has failed to meet expectations. Embiid’s missed a handful of games due to injuries, the 76ers are below .500 with a 15-22 record, and George is posting 16.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are reversing course on their arena plans, opting not to relocate to Center City Philadelphia and instead stay in the Sports Complex in South Philly.

The Sixers just dropped a road game to […]

The Philadelphia 76ers (15-22) looked to bounce back from a bad homestand in a road matchup against the Orlando Magic (23-18).

The 76ers’ matchup with the Magic took a backseat […]
