As the Sixers move forward, the hope is that Embiid and George will continue growing as a pairing which then opens everything up for Philadelphia. With a little more luck in the health department than in 2024-25, the hope is that the Sixers will continue to lean on those two going forward.

I think for us, we just have to find a way to come out with the same energy we finished the [second] quarter with,” Andre Drummond said.

Drummond threw down a put-back dunk and splashed a corner three. The Sixers led by as many as 36 points, rookies Johni Broome and Hunter Sallis checked in, and Maxey finally finished a game with under 30 minutes. The NBA's minutes leader logged a season-low 29.

Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe has turned heads in the 2025-26 season as he has shown a lot with his ability to impact the game in a number of ways while also coming up with big plays with the game on the line. He just has a poise that a lot of young players his age don't have and he continues to be an important piece to the Sixers.

James hit a late go-ahead 3-pointer and scored 29 points while Dončić had a triple-double.

From @christomelbounre.bsky.social: Should the team trade Tyrese Maxey for Giannis Antetokounmpo for as close to a straight swap as possible?

Maxey currently has a 6.7 box plus/minus this season. That's the best single-season mark of any Sixers guard in franchise history. Iverson topped out at 6.1 during his MVP season in 2000-01 and never finished above 6.0 in any other year.

There are going to be tough moments, but it’s important for the Sixers to see more of their potentially dynamic, young backcourt.

Rookie VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey each made huge plays in the final seconds as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the short-handed Golden State Warriors.

I often think about crying in my mom's car after getting cut from the school baseball team in the sixth grade. That was a formative year in my life, mostly beca

Conditioning is a big thing for Nurse and his staff. The Sixers are looking for those players to step up and give them some more production as they get healthier. Joel Embiid, for example, was able to play 30 minutes against the Lakers and Paul George was able to play 32. Those are numbers the Sixers would like to see go up.
