The Philadelphia 76ers may have been put in a tough spot by the James Harden trade saga, but they were confident in their chances of remaining competitive despite the Beard’s forced departure, thanks in large part to their belief in fourth-year guard Tyrese Maxey. Maxey was already showing glimpses of All-Star-level consistency prior to this […]

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves are set to square off in a battle of conference heavyweights on Wednesday night. There’s a strong sense of admiration between the Sixers and the Wolves thanks in part to the links offered by Patrick Beverley, who played for the Wolves two seasons ago, and Shake Milton, […]

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso is one of the peskiest defenders in the NBA today, though, he’s not really known as a rim protector or shot-blocker. But from time to time, he will erase shots at the rim, just like during Monday night’s matchup versus the Philadelphia 76ers on the road. Here’s Caruso channeling his […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have emerged as a legitimate championship contender this season despite trading James Harden. A big part of that is because of the emergence of Tyrese Maxey as a legitimate star player for the Sixers. He’s been the perfect compliment to MVP candidate Joel Embiid and is the major reason why the team […]

Joel Embiid has been in the middle of the process for a long time now. The Philadelphia 76ers have given him star-caliber teammates, a ton of draft capital for trades, and all the resources he needs to thrive. He has been paying them back slowly and surely with his performances in recent years. But, he […]

After going down to the wire with the Washington Wizards less than a week ago, the Philadelphia 76ers demolished them in a huge home victory. The Sixers nearly won by 50 points, settling for a 146-101 win. Joel Embiid (34 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, two steals) and Tyrese Maxey (24 points, six assists) completely […]

When the Philadelphia 76ers drafted Tyrese Maxey in 2020, projections for the young guard were all over the place. While his electric athleticism, blazing speed and silky smooth floater were easily projectable to the NBA, Maxey’s three-point shot needed significant work after he hit less than 30% of those shots in college. There was hope […]

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Atlanta Hawks at home but it wasn’t a very reassuring victory. The Sixers won 125-114 but made it about as hard as they possibly could have against a Hawks team missing Trae Young due to illness. Joel Embiid tallied 38 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks and three assists while Tyrese […]

PHILADELPHIA — Tyrese Maxey recorded 30 points, seven assists and zero turnovers in the Philadelphia 76ers’ win over the Atlanta Hawks. Although his final stat line was nice, it wasn’t the most outstanding game from the Sixers guard. Maxey turned it on late in the game to help the Sixers win a shootout they shouldn’t […]

Once a source of immense disappointment and frustration in the Delaware Valley, the Philadelphia 76ers have been much, much better than expected to start the 2023-24 season. Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey have both been excellent and have the Sixers playing as well as almost any team to start the campaign. The Sixers have seen […]

As we enter the month of December and prepare for the holiday season, there is no telling how the 2023-24 NBA season will play out.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. is reportedly targeting his return next week, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The Philadelphia 76ers did not have a good time facing the New Orleans Pelicans with Joel Embiid sidelined.

Tyrese Maxey was good for much of the game and led a comeback attempt in the fourth quarter but it […]

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey shared his frustrations with a fan during their game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. Maxey engaged with a Sixers fan at courtside late in the second half. Based on the Philly guard’s response, the fan felt he wanted him to score more points. An incredulous Tyrese Maxey couldn’t […]

With James Harden out of the equation, Tyrese Maxey has blossomed into a star for the Philadelphia 76ers. In his fourth and final year of his contract with the Sixers, Maxey is set to see a massive raise next offseason. While a new contract would be great, Maxey’s focus is on helping the Sixers compete […]

Darvin Ham and the Los Angeles Lakers suffered one of the worst losses in team history on Monday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. Aside from Joel Embiid, though, Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey was a big reason for handing LA that major embarrassment. The Sixers pummeled the Lakers 138-94, with Embiid leading the way with an […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have cooled off a bit following a scorching start to the 2023-24 NBA season.

The Minnesota Timberwolves moved to 7-0 at home this season after a convincing 112-99 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers sans Joel Embiid.

The Philadelphia 76ers have come out the gates storming this season. They are currently 10-3 and behind only the 11-3 Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Atlanta Hawks in a game with major In-Season Tournament implications. Joel Embiid was great and Tyrese Maxey had a brutal start but still contributed to the victory. The reason he was able to do so was partly because of Nick Nurse skewing from his typical rotation plans. Nurse threw a […]

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers have lost their second straight game after falling to the Boston Celtics.

Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey were not on […]

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers were unable to slow down Tyrese Haliburton for two games in a row.

Haliburton was totally dominant with the way […]
