PHILADELPHIA — A championship has been out of the 2024-25 Philadelphia 76ers’ reach for some time now.

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.

Chicago led 75-58 at the […]

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.
