The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the best teams in basketball, on the shortlist of legitimate contenders to win the NBA championship. Unfortunately, the Sixers have historically struggled in the postseason in the Joel Embiid era. That is partially due to not having enough scorers and creator from the guard and wing positions. Embiid is […]

The time has finally come to name the remainder of players who will reserve the right to be called NBA All-Stars this season. The 2024 NBA All-Star Game is less than three weeks away, and on Thursday night, the final seven players on this year’s rosters from both the Eastern and Western Conferences will be […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are almost halfway through their current road trip. They’ll play three games in four nights to wrap it up, starting with a matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Once again, they will be shorthanded. Joel Embiid (left knee soreness) and Tyrese Maxey (left ankle sprain) have been ruled out for the matchup […]

The Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets are about to square off in one of the most highly anticipated games of the regular season. Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic are expected to face off in Denver for the first time since 2019 but a key co-star may not suit up. There is a big question on […]

The Philadelphia 76ers had themselves a game to forget against the Indiana Pacers. With Tyrese Haliburton sidelined and two days of rest, the Sixers still laid a massive egg in a road defeat. It was the rare game where Joel Embiid sat out the fourth quarter due to a blowout he suffered, not delivered. Embiid […]

CAMDEN, N.J. — When the Philadelphia 76ers face the Milwaukee Bucks next, they will see former head coach Doc Rivers on the opposing sideline. After a chaotic situation unfolded that included the firing of rookie head coach Adrian Griffin, Rivers is the new head coach of one of the Sixers’ biggest in-conference threats. The Bucks […]

PHILADELPHIA — In the Philadelphia 76ers’ win over the Houston Rockets, Tyrese Maxey and Patrick Beverley provided critical complementary production on offense around Joel Embiid, who went off for 41 points. It’s the expectation for the former but not as much for the latter, who still has a knack for getting into the paint, hitting […]

PHILADELPHIA — The growth of Tyrese Maxey in the 2023-24 season goes beyond what he can do as the second option behind Joel Embiid. The Philadelphia 76ers have needed him to be the main option for stretches of the season due to some injuries to Embiid. The results have been shaky, for him and the […]

The Philadelphia 76ers (24-13) faced off against the Sacramento Kings (23-15) on Friday night. In their first matchup of the season, as Joel Embiid missed his third consecutive game, the Sixers came out with a great effort and broke their losing streak with a final score of 112-93. Let’s break down the Sixers’ win. 76ers […]

The Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Atlanta Hawks in a tight, overtime game that featured some dubious officiating.

First, with the game tied at the end of the fourth quarter, Maxey drove and […]

Let’s break down the Sixers’ third consecutive defeat. 76ers player notes: Tyrese Maxey: 35 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals, 12-29 FG […]

It’s safe to say the Memphis Grizzlies’ 2023-24 NBA season is over following Ja Morant’s season-ending injury. With the Grizzlies likely headed to the tank, it’s worth asking if Memphis makes Marcus Smart available for a trade. Morant underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum after he suffered a subluxation of his right shoulder during […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have a real star on their hands in Tyrese Maxey. After years of developing from a bench guy to a tertiary scorer to the second option behind Joel Embiid, the Sixers guard has arrived. It came not just through immense dedication but moments throughout his career that helped sharpen his game. On […]

Tyrese Maxey has gotten plenty of chances this season to lead the Philadelphia 76ers with Joel Embiid out. Sometimes the results have been good but more often than not, Maxey wasn’t able to step up enough to get the Sixers a win without his co-star. The biggest example of that was on Christmas against the […]

PHILADELPHIA — Given the chance to be the first team to stop the New York Knicks following their acquisition of OG Anunoby, the Philadelphia 76ers folded like a chair. The Sixers competed hard to start the game but were unable to overcome New York’s insane shooting and relentless physicality, suffering one of their worst losses […]

PHILADELPHIA — Tyrese Maxey’s quest to stardom is a huge driving factor in the Philadelphia 76ers’ success this season. The difficulty sliders are turned up for Maxey as the Sixers’ second star and lead guard and he has taken the challenge head-on. Even as a smaller, slimmer engine of offense, he does what he can […]

The Philadelphia 76ers held on to beat the Houston Rockets in their second straight win without Joel Embiid. Tyrese Maxey proved to be too much to handle as the Sixers hung on to win, 131-127. Maxey was nothing short of spectacular, scoring 42 points on 13-26 shooting and adding four rebounds and four assists to […]

During Friday’s road win against the Houston Rockets, the Philadelphia 76ers showed a glimpse of their depth, as they’ve managed to win without franchise player Joel Embiid.  In Embiid’s absence, the lights shone brightly on Tyrese Maxey, who put on a show at the Toyota Center. Maxey finished the outing with 42 points on 50% […]

For the second consecutive game, the Philadelphia 76ers have beaten a solid team on the road without Joel Embiid. This time, the Sixers held on to a win against the Hoston Rockets that was spurred by Tyrese Maxey’s 42 points. A win over this Rockets team (especially with numerous key players sidelined) is nice but […]

The Philadelphia 76ers (22-9) continued their road trip against the Houston Rockets (15-15). In their third straight game without Joel Embiid, the Sixers found themselves in a shoot-out and won, 131-127. Let’s break down the Sixers’ first matchup of the season with the Rockets. Sixers player notes Tyrese Maxey: 42 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, […]

Tyrese Maxey’s poor game from Christmas is firmly a thing of the past after the Philadelphia 76ers’ win over the Orlando Magic.

Sixers player notes: Tyrese Maxey: 23 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 9-18 FG shooting Maxey once […]

With a 12-17 start, it’s safe to say the 2023-24 NBA season has not gone the way Atlanta Hawks expected it to be. The Hawks are just 18 months removed from making the Eastern Conference Finals in 2021. However, Atlanta has been on the decline since. The Hawks traded for Dejounte Murray during the 2022 […]

The Philadelphia 76ers took on the Miami Heat in a Christmas matchup that did not feature Joel Embiid or Jimmy Butler. The Heat got the better of the Sixers in a game that went back and forth and was close throughout the fourth quarter. The Sixers got great performances from Tobias Harris (27 points, seven […]

In the Philadelphia 76ers’ loss to the Miami Heat on Christmas, with Joel Embiid out and back home as the team begins a road trip, Tyrese Maxey took the most shots for the Sixers. But only four of his 20 looks found the bottom of the net, making him a major factor in the 119-113 […]

Before the Miami Heat take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Christmas Day, head coach Erik Spoelstra spoke before the game to talk about the upcoming matchup and the players surrounding it. Each team is dealing with an injury to their star players as Miami’s Jimmy Butler and Sixers’ Joel Embiid will miss Monday night’s game. […]

It will be the most wonderful time of the year for NBA teams as a select few on Christmas Day will play, but there’s no doubt that the Miami Heat have had the most success on the holiday. They have a whopping record at 11-2 on the holiday, but they have a .846 winning percentage […]

The Miami Heat will host the Philadelphia 76ers as part of the NBA’s 2023 Christmas Day slate of games. This game will feature two of the top five teams in the Eastern Conference and could be a preview of a playoff series this spring, though MVP frontrunner Joel Embiid will not play due to an […]

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Toronto Raptors thanks to a flurry of buckets from three main sources. Joel Embiid had 31 points? Makes sense. Tyrese Maxey had 33? Yeah, that tracks. Tobias Harris also had 33? That is what makes this Sixers’ win stand out. A combined 97 points from three players helped […]

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 […]
