With the NBA offseason set to begin here on the last day of the month of Kyle Schwarber (patent pending), Daryl Morey and the Sixers don’t have many big splashes to make in free agency as it currently stands. After James Harden so graciously opted out of his $47 million player option for this season, […]
Daryl Morey, the Sixers President of Basketball Operations, is one of the most aggressive front office men in basketball. If he believes that something will work, he’s been known to do anything he can to get it done. This was the case in February, when the Sixers acquired James Harden. Now, with the draft […]

There is never a “good” time for the Sixers to play without their MVP candidate, Joel Embiid. In the month of January, the 7’2 center had become must see entertainment that had NBA analysts and fans comparing him to the likes of Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaq. If Embiid had played on Monday night, he was […]
Despite Doc Rivers best efforts to blow leads and force Furkan Korkmaz down our throats, the Philadelphia 76ers are a half game out of first place in the Eastern Conference. Yet, if you reside anywhere outside of the Delaware Valley, you likely didn’t know that. only Doc Rivers could start an overtime down by […]
The Atlanta Hawks upset the Philadelphia 76ers 128-124 in game one of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Sunday afternoon. It was just the fifth home playoff loss for the Sixers since 2017. It felt as if the Sixers were down by 15 points for the entirety of the game, yet found themselves within three in […]
The participants for this year’s Rising Star game were announced recently, with Sixers forward Matisse Thybulle left off the roster.
