Although the Philadelphia 76ers had an underwhelming season, general manager Daryl Morey has been asked about the possibility of trading Joel Embiid. He gave a simple and succinct answer. “We’re committed to Joel and Paul,” Morey said on the Rights to Rickey Sanchez Podcast. His commitment to the two stars says a ton about the […]

The Philadelphia 76ers did not meet their expectations last season, and one of the main reasons was injuries. Joel Embiid only played 19 games last season because of his knee injury, and it’s uncertain when he’ll be able to get back on the court. Many people are wondering if Embiid will ever play at a […]

The Philadelphia 76ers went all in last offseason, signing Paul George to a four-year, $212 million contract in the hopes that he could round out a big three with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. They played a combined 112 games and the franchise finished with a miserable 24-58 record, its worst showing in almost a […]

The Philadelphia 76ers did not have the season they expected, and that has led to the chances of getting the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. Everyone knows that Cooper Flagg will most likely be the pick for whoever has the selection, and general manager Daryl Morey knows the importance of it, according to […]

On paper, the Philadelphia 76ers entered the 2024-25 season with a championship-caliber roster. They shelled out an eye-popping $800 million to retain and acquire elite talent. Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George were supposed to be the pillars of a title run. However, the games aren’t played on spreadsheets. What unfolded instead was a […]

Philadelphia 76ers general manager Elton Brand has withdrawn his name from the Atlanta Hawks’ president of basketball operations search, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.

The Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets are in a heated playoff battle, with Game 4 at Intuit Dome on Saturday afternoon.

The Philadelphia 76ers had a nightmare 2024-25 season, missing out on the playoffs by a long shot. The health of their three stars — Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey — was also an issue. PG’s first campaign with the team also couldn’t have gone any worse. But George, Embiid, and Maxey are determined […]

The Sacramento Kings face significant uncertainty heading into this offseason. The Kings made a bold move following their 120-106 Play-In loss to the Dallas Mavericks, failing to qualify for the NBA playoffs for the second straight season, by parting ways with general manager Monte McNair. The Kings quickly pivoted and replaced McNair with former New […]

PHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid’s future as an NBA superstar is unclear. The Philadelphia 76ers still believe in him, especially co-star Tyrese Maxey. Maxey didn’t have a very fun 2024-25 season but Embiid’s campaign was a uniquely miserable experience. He was insistent that the big man was dedicated to the team and said that he’s kept […]

Quentin Grimes shined with the Philadelphia 76ers even as the team went kaput amid an influx of injuries. Grimes’ surprising outburst made him a priority for the Sixers to keep this offseason. He surely hopes that one of the teammates he spent a lot of time playing next to is back, as well. In an […]

 The Philadelphia 76ers season began with lofty title aspirations and died with them being buried in an unmarked grave. The cliff notes on what went wrong are straightforward: Joel Embiid’s balky knee required a second operation that upended his season before it even began. Tyrese Maxey’s development stunted, and Nick Nurse rolled out a record […]

Stephen A. Smith ripped 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey as the franchise finished its dismal season. There’s no way to skate around it.

PHILADELPHIA — Jared McCain and Joel Embiid spent a lot of time on the bench together during this Philadelphia 76ers season.

PHILADELPHIA — After a disastrous, 24-win season, the Philadelphia 76ers are running it back. Not only are head coach Nick Nurse and president of basketball operations Daryl Morey going to be back, the latter said, but so are all three of the team’s stars: Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George. “Ownership gave us the […]

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers don’t have the playoffs to look forward to in the spring and summer of 2025. Instead, they have the NBA Draft…maybe. Although they own the 35th overall pick, which is a good selection for the second round, they have to see if they get their first-round pick this year. Their […]

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers have a lot of work to do in the 2025 offseason. The top priority is to re-sign restricted free agent Quentin Grimes. Grimes was nothing short of amazing for the Sixers, showing he can be more than just a 3-and-D role player. His shooting and defense were still exemplary but […]

PHILADELPHIA — Is there any positive to the Philadelphia 76ers’ woeful 2024-25 season, where they snapped their playoff streak and are in danger of coming up with nothing to show for it because they don’t fully control their own draft pick? Tyrese Maxey tried to look at the bright side of a mostly tumultuous season. […]

PHILADELPHIA — Paul George still believes the Philadelphia 76ers can be a title contender in the years to come. The 2024-25 season, the veteran star said, didn’t offer them a chance to show it because of all the injuries they faced. “I think we were just in scramble all year. To be honest, I think […]

Heading into the 2024-25 NBA season, the Philadelphia 76ers hoped they had landed a do-it-all NBA wing who could cover opposing scorers, hit open 3s, and do some ISO scoring when they needed a bucket. As it turns out, the team accomplished that feat, but it wasn’t via the nine-time All-Star they signed to a […]
