Kawhi Leonard man holy hell

Sixers' GM Elton Brand is expected to be among the candidates to become the next President of Basketball Operations for the Atlanta Hawks. phillysportsnetwork.com/2025/04/21/s...

If the recent rumors out of Denver are true this could very well be the type of thing that keeps him from getting the full-time gig but Adelman read this game exactly right and adjusted well.

Without the Sixers in the playoffs, should you root against a Sixer rival? For a former Sixer? Or against a former Sixer? Liam Sagherian has the complete Philly haters guide to watching the NBA Playoffs. phillysportsnetwork.com/2025/04/19/p...

Between Game 6 against the Knicks last season and the first half of Game 1 against the Knicks this season, Tobias Harris has scored 22 points.

Zach LaVine is throwing the wildest passes from underneath the rim.

KEEGAN MURRAY!!!

Caleb Martin putting life and limb on the line in the postseason. Just like every Sixers fan expected when they signed him.

NBA Insider Michael Scotto reported a potential shakeup in the Sixers' coaching staff Wednesday morning. Reading the tea leaves, here's who he may have been speaking of. phillysportsnetwork.com/2025/04/16/s...

Interesting note on the future of the Sixers’ coaching staff here.

The Phoenix Suns will reportedly work with Kevin Durant this offseason to find him a new NBA home. Looking at the options, one team stands above as the best option for both Durant and Phoenix. hoopshabit.com/suns-may-alr...

After the official end of the Sixers' 2024-25 season, the players, Nick Nurse and Daryl Morey, addressed the media to discuss the lost season. phillysportsnetwork.com/2025/04/15/s...

Daryl Morey did his best Schwarzenegger, announcing that both he and Sixers Head Coach Nick Nurse will be back next season in Philadelphia. @ciavo.bsky.social | @metrophilly.bsky.social | #Sixers phillysportsnetwork.com/2025/04/14/d...

After Daryl Morey announced that he and Nick Nurse would return with the Sixers for the 2025-26 season, it's clear the organization feels they can right the ship and are confident that this is the best path forward. phillysportsnetwork.com/2025/04/14/d...

Daryl Morey called this season the toughest of his career. "I will spend every waking hour figuring out a [way to] turn this team around going into next season."

Daryl Morey on restricted free agent Quentin Grimes: "I think he was a real bright spot. We're excited for him to come back. We've positioned ourselves to bring to bring him back."

Morey: "We owe that to the fans. We owe that to really, everyone who cares so much about this team who stuck with us through this. And I want to thank, thank the fans that have stuck with us."

Daryl Morey: "Coach Nurse and myself will be back, but we're going to, with Elton Brand and ownership, assess everything.

Morey: Ownership gave us the resources to make aggressive moves this offseason, to put a championship roster around Joel and Tyrese. And sometimes those aggressive moves don't initially work out, but we feel good about those three guys, our three All-Stars, going forward.

Andre Drummond: “My immediate plan is to be back here.”

On why he wants to remain in Philly, Lowry mentioned his relationship with Nick Nurse, the pride of being from Philly playing for Philly, and said he’s a major fan of Tyrese Maxey.

Kyle Lowry: “I do want to play one more year…and hopefully it’s here.”

Kyle Lowry on how he’ll remember this season: “(Laughed) Try not to.”

The 2024-25 Sixers season is mercifully over following a 122-102 loss to the Chicago Bulls. Now to hear from the rest of the players, Nurse, and Morey. Joel Embiid is not in the building today as he had a follow up appointment and rehab in NYC.

Quentin Grimes will play today, Guerschon Yabusele and Justin Edwards are OUT per Sixers.

Mobley will wear No. 25

The Sixers announce they have signed Isaiah Mobley ahead of their season finale today.

With this loss to the Atlanta Hawks, the Philadelphia 76ers have officially clinched the fifth-best odds for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

The Sixers have announced that Joel Embiid has undergone successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Embiid will be evaluated in six weeks. phillysportsnetwork.com/2025/04/11/s...

Joel Embiid has undergone successful arthroscopic surgery, according to the Sixers.

Aden Bona just posterized that small child

Full statement: "During his ramp up to return to play, Tyrese Maxey reinjured his sprained right finger, which was confirmed by a recent MRI. Because of the reinjury and related pain and swelling, he will be unable to play for the rest of the regular season. He is expected to make a full recovery."

Sixers officially announce that Tyrese Maxey will miss the rest of the season after he "reinjured his sprained right finger."

Everyday left fielder Edmundo Sosa. Yeah, I like the sound of that.

Let them play ball! Ridiculous to call that a tech on Bona

I had the opportunity to speak with Phillies legend Mike Schmidt about a cause near and dear to us both. Over the past decade-plus, Schmidty has done what no one did during his playing days: raising awareness about skin cancer and sun-smart practices. metrophiladelphia.com/phillies-mik...

Anyone who thinks Quentin Grimes is simply stat-padding on a bad team is crazy. Dude is a killer.

Pool report from tonight’s game. According to Nurse, the “derogatory comment” that he made was telling an official to open his eyes. Shout out @noahlevick.bsky.social for the report

Adem Bona went nuclear but the Sixers still fell short to the Bucks 126-113. phillysportsnetwork.com/2025/04/03/s...

Nick Nurse said that Lonnie Walker suffered a “heel contusion.” Said he was cleared to return, but they left him rest.

Nick Nurse has been ejected for a second technical foul.

Sixers recap tonight:

Lonnie Walker, limping under his own power, just went back into the locker room.

Bucks just look absolutely deflated tonight. Credit the Sixers for taking advantage of it, but how can you let the hospital Sixers put a near-40 burger on you in the first and call yourself a playoff team?

As the Sixers' season comes to a close, Tyrese Maxey is expected to become the latest player to be ruled out for the season due to an injury. phillysportsnetwork.com/2025/04/03/s...

No surprises here. It was obvious when he played through it that it caused him a great deal of discomfort.

Sixers announce the signing of Colin Castleton. Castleton will wear No. 18 with the team, last worn by Chuma Okeke.
