With Derrick Rose’s retirement, the youngest NBA MVP became another solid player to end his career without a championship. Winning a NBA title ultimately cements a player’s career. However, even some of the best players in the world fail to capture at least one. Here is a look at 10 active NBA players who deserve […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are in a tough position; at 15-24, Philly is in 11th in the Eastern Conference, and while the roster would normally indicate a contender-level team, the constant injury struggles have made it less and less likely the Sixers will be able to salvage this season. After signing Paul George in the offseason […]

As the NBA trade deadline looms, the Philadelphia 76ers’ season is gradually trending in the wrong direction. Following a 15-24 start, the initial expectations to make a deep playoff run have gone from bad to worse, with injuries and unmet performance goals from certain members of the roster. Sunday’s 104-99 loss to the Orlando Magic […]

The 2024-25 season has been straight out of the Philadelphia 76ers’ nightmares. They entered the campaign with such high hopes after bringing in two-way star Paul George on a max contract, as they believed that George will be the missing piece to the 76ers’ championship puzzle. However, the 76ers can only go so far without […]

The severely undermanned Philadelphia 76ers (15-24) concluded a tough back-to-back with a matchup against the New York Knicks (27-15). The Sixers shook off a bad first half to force overtime but lost, 125-119. The current injury saga around Joel Embiid is only the latest of several from just this season. His left foot sprain has […]

The Philadelphia 76ers put up a solid effort in their 118-102 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, trailing by only six heading into the fourth quarter of a game that did not feature Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and several other rotation players. Unfortunately, they couldn’t hold on for the win and now have […]

Finding a way to beat the dominant Oklahoma City Thunder is an onerous chore even when at full strength, but the Philadelphia 76ers entered Tuesday night’s showdown frighteningly thin. Fans prepared for a shellacking in the Wells Fargo Center after seeing the team’s injury report and starting five. With Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul […]

Ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers’ home matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George have been added to the injury report. The beginning of the Sixers’ difficult back-to-back has become even more of a challenge. Maxey is listed as questionable due to a left hand sprain and George is listed as probable […]

It’s been a strenuous 2024-25 campaign for Philadelphia 76ers veteran Paul George. Pairing him with the 2023 MVP Joel Embiid and All-Star Tyrese Maxey has failed to meet expectations.

Nothing on the injury report should surprise Philadelphia 76ers fans at this point, but they still might be disappointed to learn that two of the team’s star players will be unavailable for the next game. Joel Embiid (foot) and Paul George (groin) are both listed out for Wednesday’s home matchup versus the Washington Wizards (6-27), […]

There was a time when Shaquille O’Neal was the most dominant player in the NBA. But just like any other human, Shaq eventually declined, though, he’s still very relevant in the basketball world. And now, there is an entire generation of basketball fans who know more about his latter years in the NBA than the […]

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers insist that they like the shots Paul George has been taking this season. After a certain point, however, they have to reconsider what constitutes a good shot for George and whether his approach to offense is truly good enough to excuse the poor results. George shot horribly in the Sixers’ […]

The Philadelphia 76ers (14-20) faced the Phoenix Suns (65-18) in a showdown of disappointing title hopefuls. Fresh off a six-game road trip, the Sixers did not have Joel Embiid and lost 109-99.

There’s no sugarcoating the Philadelphia 76ers’ embarrassing loss to the Sacramento Kings: they completely choked away a game they had control over.

The Philadelphia 76ers (12-17) faced the Utah Jazz (7-23) to start their latest West Coast swing. The Sixers did NOT start out on the right foot, submitting a poor effort against one of the NBA’s bottom feeders.

While Paul George has accomplished a ton over his NBA career, from All-Star berths to playoff wins, multiple big trades, and max contracts to go with them, one area of the game where he’s never had an issue is shooting 3s, becoming a 38.5 percent shooter from beyond the arc in his second professional season, […]

As a result, this paves the way for friendships and bonds that transcend beyond the court. Here is a look at 10 former NBA rivals […]

Traditionally, Thanksgiving is an NFL holiday, while Christmas is an NBA holiday. This year, though, the NFL took both, and Paul George and Jrue Holiday aren’t feeling it. George and Holiday spoke about it on PG’s show “Podcast P,” presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment. PG: "[Christmas] will always be NBA's Day…. There’s just something […]

George shot poorly against a staunch Cavs defense, leaving […]

The Philadelphia 76ers (9-17) squared off with the Cleveland Cavaliers (25-4) on the second night of a back-to-back.

After the 76ers beat the Charlotte Hornets for the fourth time this season, they […]

The 2024-25 season has not been kind to Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid, at least up until this point.

The Philadelphia 76ers are having a nightmare season, as injuries have been the main story of the year so far.

Very little has gone right for the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2024-25 season.

One thing the Sixers have […]

Russell Westbrook is a future Basketball Hall of Famer, highlighted by an NBA MVP award in 2017 coupled with a handful of seasons that saw him average a triple-double.

With Joel Embiid out for at least another week after sustaining a sinus fracture during the Philadelphia 76ers’ 121-107 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Friday night, the onus to lead the team will fall on the shoulders of Tyrese Maxey and Paul George once again. And George, for his part, had the best game […]
