Philadelphia 76ers veteran Paul George is very much looking forward to the 2025-26 season as an opportunity for him and his team to bounce back from last year’s disappointment. George says he can play at a high level still and the 76ers, coming off of a 24-win season, can do the same despite the numerous […]

Philadelphia 76ers veteran Paul George underwent knee surgery ahead of 2025-26 — he’s entering the upcoming season with something to prove.

With NBA training camps set to open this coming week, and a few already underway, there are still two major free agency situations yet to resolved. While the Jonathan Kuminga situation with the Golden State Warriors has been well-chronicled, Quentin Grimes’ contract situation with the Philadelphia 76ers has been flying under the radar a bit. […]

In less than one week, a conclusion to his standoff with the Golden State Warriors will be reached, as Kuminga has until Wednesday, October 1, to make a decision on his $7.9 million qualifying offer for the 2025-26 NBA season. Between all that has happened […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have most of their roster set as training camp is about to begin, but there’s still one piece that needs to be completed. Quentin Grimes has still not agreed to an offer, and after the latest news, it may make sense why he hasn’t, according to Gina Mizell. “Agent David Bauman told […]

Quentin Grimes is one of the defining names of the 2025 NBA offseason. The Philadelphia 76ers guard was one of a few young players who held out as restricted free agents to try to get a larger contract after last season. However, 76ers general manager Elton Brand refused to give Grimes what he wanted. Now, […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are just under a month away from kicking off their 2025-26 season with a game against the Boston Celtics.

While the 76ers didn’t do […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are entering the 2025-26 NBA season with something they lacked for much of last year: optimism. Coming off a brutal 24-58 record, the third-worst in the Eastern Conference, it would have been easy to dismiss the Sixers as a franchise running out of answers. Instead, the front office doubled down on continuity […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have just one goal in mind heading into the 2025-26 season: to make it back to the playoffs and compete for a championship.

There has not been a busier NBA team this summer than the Brooklyn Nets.

The signing was the culmination of a failed contract negotiation with the […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have had an interesting offseason, drafting VJ Edgecombe to join their young core of guards to surround Paul George and Joel Embiid with.

Despite limited minutes on the court, Haliburton said the […]

To say that the 2024-25 season was a nightmare for the Philadelphia 76ers would be an understatement.

Embiid gave […]

The Philadelphia 76ers’ schedule for the 2025-2026 season is out. All the while, the 76ers are looking to shake things up when it comes to trades.
