The Philadelphia 76ers just endured a forgettable 2024-25 season, finishing with a lowly 24-58 record despite carrying championship expectations.

However, injuries derailed the squad, and the infrequent availability […]

The 2025 NBA Draft is on the horizon, and rumblings about what teams will do with each pick have already started to trickle in. Cooper Flagg is seen as a shoo-in at the Dallas Mavericks’ first pick, but after that, there is not much set in stone, and this is where the draft could get […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers are set to face off in the 2025 NBA Finals.

Former Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris decided to take some shots at Paul George and the Philadelphia sports community after their Super Bowl hangover.

As Philadelphia 76ers fans prepare for the 2025 NBA Draft, Ace Bailey has remained a steady topic of discussion in the City of Brotherly Love.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George revealed that fans of the franchise have heckled him with Tobias Harris insults. Daryl Morey boldly signed the nine-time All-Star to a four-year deal this offseason in hopes of making this group a title contender. The 2024-25 season was an unmitigated disaster. The 76ers finished the year 24-58 and broke […]

McCain revealed that Embiid thinks “foul-baiting” […]

When it comes to the 2025 NBA Draft, few prospects have been as highly debated as Ace Bailey. Cooper Flagg? Unquestioned top pick since before the 2024-25 NCAA season even began. Dylan Harper? The top guard in this year’s class with the potential to become a team’s lead guard well into the future. But Bailey? […]

Paul George knew what he was walking into when he signed with the Sixers. Philly fans don’t do coddling. They don’t deal in niceties.

Trade speculation surrounding Paul George’s future with the Philadelphia 76ers appears to be overstated, according to a new report by Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.

The Philadelphia 76ers were rewarded for one of the worst and unluckiest seasons imaginable with the No. 3 overall pick in the NBA Draft when the lottery concluded. While the ping pong balls weren’t quite kind enough to land Cooper Flagg, they did give Daryl Morey a top-tier asset to work with this offseason. Philadelphia […]

The Philadelphia 76ers’ season did not go according to plan, or anything close to it, and many fans are still upset. Tyrese Maxey seems to be taking some of the fan criticism and anger in stride, though. Maxey, who, like many of his teammates, struggled with injuries, averaged a career-high 26.3 points per game this […]

After making headlines for how he presented himself almost as often as how he performed on the court as a rookie, Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain is capitalizing on the hype with a new line of nail polish via Sally Hansen, debuting five basketball-themed colors to get fans ready for the 2025-26 NBA season. That’s […]

The Indiana Pacers have made it to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive year, hearkening back to the Pacers teams in the mid-2010s that made it to two straight ECFs as well.

The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a disappointing season that saw them not even make the playoffs, despite successfully landing All-Star free agent Paul George to pair with 2023 NBA MVP Joel Embiid.

If there’s any silver lining to the Philadelphia 76ers’ dreadful 24-win 2024-25 season, it’s that they were able to keep their first-round pick after winning the third pick of the 2025 NBA Draft, preventing it from conveying to the Oklahoma City Thunder (which it would have had it landed outside the top-six). After missing the […]

The Philadelphia 76ers did not meet their expectations last season, and one of the main reasons was injuries.
