And as is tradition, Harris’ name is, yet again, being thrown around in trade talks, as reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic. By and large, Harris’ acquisition has been a success. He’s […]

PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia 76ers’ winning streak was ended at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves by a score of 112-109.

CAMDEN, NJ – While James Harden has been out, the Philadelphia 76ers defense has surged to one of the top overall units in the league thanks in large part to an increase in effort in transition situations.
