On Monday night, the Philadelphia 76ers suffered their most embarrassing loss of the season with a 125-124 overtime defeat at the hands of the Denver Nuggets, who were playing without all five starters, including the recently-injured Nikola Jokic, in this game.
They can’t all get healthy at the same time without there being some doubt. Fresh off their worst loss of the season the Sixers look to bounce back hosting the Washington Wizards, and they’ve released an injury report for that contest.
The NBA’s newly formatted All-Star Game is just over a month away, and Tyrese Maxey continues to receive strong turnout on the ballots. That is, not quite as strong as Jalen Brunson, as the Knicks’ faithful propelled him to the top Eastern Conference guard vote-getter, and dropped the Sixers star to fifth overall in the NBA.
The Sixers are getting terrifyingly close to full strength. Prior to Monday's 125-124 overtime against the shorthanded Denver Nuggets, head coach Nick Nurse told reporters that Kelly Oubre Jr.
The Denver Nuggets had seven rotation players out Monday night, including three-time MVP Nikola Jokic. They leaned on Jalen Pickett and a group of reserves to upset the Philadelphia 76ers in overtime, 125-124.
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.
For the second time this season, Tyrese Maxey has been named the NBA's Eastern Conference Player of the Week. Maxey guided the Sixers to a 3-0 week, including a resounding road win over the New York Knicks on Saturday.
The Philadelphia 76ers made a subtle but intriguing roster move by signing MarJon Beauchamp to a two-way contract and waiving rookie guard Hunter Sallis to create space.
Joel Embiid finally threw down his first dunk of the 2025-26 NBA season during the Philadelphia 76ers’ 130-119 win over the New York Knicks on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.
For the first time in years, Joel Embiid looks like he’s in the NBA to play, not just to warm the bench with a pair of crutches on either side of him. He’s consistently logging minutes and playing well.
Tyrese Maxey scored 36 points, outdueling Jalen Brunson again. Joel Embiid bullied Mitchell Robinson and Karl-Anthony Towns all night. VJ Edgecombe dropped jaws yet again, and the Sixers capped an impressive road trip with a victory in Madison Square Garden on Saturday.
If there was any lingering panic about the 76ers’ season, this weekend should officially put a cork in it. Philadelphia didn’t just win a couple of games; they went on a rampage through a back-to-back gauntlet that would make lesser teams fold.
VJ Edgecombe showed off how relentless his motor can be during the Philadelphia 76ers’ matchup against the New York Knicks on Saturday night. Edgecombe has made incredible progress throughout his rookie campaign in the NBA.
Kelly Oubre Jr. could be nearing a return. Sixers coach Nick Nurse said earlier this week that Oubre, sidelined since Nov. 14 with a sprained left knee, may be able to return during Philadelphia’s current road trip.
On the first day of the new year, Tyrese Maxey picked up right where he left off in 2025 and furthered his case to join the MVP conversation with another big-time performance.
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.
Philadelphia 76ers rookie guard VJ Edgecombe played a significant role in the team's 139-136 overtime win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. He had 25 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals, including a game-clinching 3-pointer in overtime.
Rookie VJ Edgecombe knocked down a 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds remaining in overtime, lifting the Philadelphia 76ers to a 139-136 victory over the host Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday.
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.
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.
