Tyrese Maxey went for 34 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds. VJ Edgecombe and Joel Embiid continued to stack strong play. The 'Big Three' earned its second consecutive win as the road show visited the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday.
Joel Embiid’s fitness is always going to be subject to question marks, but after the showing against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday, the Sixers fans have been rather hopeful.
Tyrese Maxey is having a killer year. Along with Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic, he’s the only guy in the NBA that’s top-10 in points (third with a 30.3 average) and assists (eighth with a 7.1 average).
Part of what makes the NBA, or any pro sports league, so compelling to watch is the narratives, especially those centered on rivalries. Throughout the decades, the NBA has fostered a number of rivalries, some long-lasting and others short but sweet.
As we get set to roll into the New Year, here’s a series of thoughts I have on the good ol’ Philadelphia 76ers as of late… So, as you’re all aware, the NBA implemented a rule a couple of years ago that players needed to reach a 65-game and a specific minutes threshold to be considered for end-of-year awards and honors.
The Philadelphia 76ers have been up and down this year, currently sitting at 17-14 after a recent road win over the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime. Rookie VJ Edgecombe was the hero in that game, knocking down an open three off a pass from Tyrese Maxey in the waning seconds to give Philadelphia the win.
After hitting a game-winning shot to give the Philadelphia 76ers a huge win, VJ Edgecombe showed why he is the future of the franchise. One of the best draft picks in the NBA this year has been the Philadelphia 76ers landing VJ Edgecombe with the #3 overall pick.
Rookie VJ Edgecombe hit a clutch 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left in overtime to lift the Philadelphia 76ers to a 139-136 road win vs. the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night.
Joel Embiid is delivering his version of “Ball So Hard University.” Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers played on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tenn.
Tyrese Maxey already appears to be in line to start in his first All-Star Game this year. He should have his eye on higher individual prizes, though. With Nikola Jokić in the midst of an all-time great season, Maxey isn't likely to factor into the MVP conversation this year.
At this point in the season, most NBA teams are searching for consistency. The Philadelphia 76ers, however, are still searching for a lineup. Night after night, Head Coach Nick Nurse rolls out a different combination of starters and bench units. With so many injuries, Nurse often has to tweak rotations mid-game.
Sixers fans aren't the only ones taking notice of Tyrese Maxey's monster season, if All-Star fan voting is any indication. The NBA released the first round of fan votes Monday, and Maxey landed second among all Eastern Conference players.
The Philadelphia 76ers have had an inconsistent start to the 2025–26 NBA season, currently sitting at 16–13 after dropping their second straight game Friday against the Chicago Bulls.
The Philadelphia 76ers signed forward MarJon Beauchamp to a two-way contract Friday. Terms were not disclosed. Beauchamp, 25, has averaged 20.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists in seven games this season for the NBA G League's Delaware Blue Coats.
One way to become more of a household name is to make history and join legendary names. That's exactly what Jalen Johnson did during the Atlanta Hawks' 1201-117 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night.
