It is an understatement to call Philadelphia 76ers guard Patrick Beverley a “character.” NBA fans know his outspoken personality and colorful antics well by now. Although he is undoubtedly one of the most polarizing players in the league, the 35-year-old is unabashedly himself. Beverley showed as much on Monday following a Sixers’ win. Philly cruised […]

Joel Embiid has been in the middle of the process for a long time now. The Philadelphia 76ers have given him star-caliber teammates, a ton of draft capital for trades, and all the resources he needs to thrive.

Joel Embiid has been one of the best players in the league for the Philadelphia 76ers for the past half-decade.

There was hope […]

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Atlanta Hawks at home but it wasn’t a very reassuring victory.

PHILADELPHIA — Tyrese Maxey recorded 30 points, seven assists and zero turnovers in the Philadelphia 76ers’ win over the Atlanta Hawks.
