Before the 2024-25 season, the Philadelphia 76ers had a relatively successful offseason by luring Paul George to Philly in free agency.

Moreover, an often injured Joel Embiid, followed by the absence of Jared McCain, has […]

NEW YORK — Paul George’s decision to pause Podcast P to focus on the Philadelphia 76ers paid immediate dividends for him.

On Monday evening, the Philadelphia 76ers sunk further below the Eastern Conference playoff line with a brutal home loss against the Chicago Bulls.

To say the Philadelphia 76ers’ 2024-25 season has been disappointing is a massive understatement. The season has been downright horrendous for a team that was supposed to be an Eastern Conference contender following their free agency acquisition of Paul George. The 76ers have been filling in their on-the-margins roster spots since the trade deadline, and […]

The Chicago Bulls finally ended their losing streak on Monday night with a dominant road win against the Philadelphia 76ers.

PHILADELPHIA — A championship has been out of the 2024-25 Philadelphia 76ers’ reach for some time now. But after their blowout loss to the Chicago Bulls in Joel Embiid’s latest absence, a mere playoff berth seems, in Paul George’s opinion, “far-fetched.” The Sixers trailed by as much as 50 points in their 142-110 loss to […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have endured an abject nightmare of a 2024-25 season, never really finding their footing in more ways than one even after overhauling their roster over this past summer.

Stephen A. Smith hasn’t been a stranger to criticizing the Philadelphia 76ers. This time, his criticism is pointed at 76ers general manager Daryl Morey. After the 76ers signed Paul George in free agency, the season has been a bust, compared to expectations. Many thought that they would be at the top of the Eastern Conference. […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are facing the Chicago Bulls on Monday.

Joel Embiid’s knee is not where he or the Philadelphia 76ers want it, and it looks like they’ll be searching for other options, including surgery, to improve it.

As the Philadelphia 76ers try to do everything in their power to aid Joel Embiid’s ongoing injury recovery, Paul George offered his star teammate a nonchalant word of advice.

Although Jared McCain won’t be available to play for the Philadelphia 76ers down the stretch run of the 2024-25 season, the rookie is doing the best thing can control: attacking his injury rehab hard.
