Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse has one of the most challenging jobs in the NBA, as he is forced to navigate constant injuries and lineup adjustments.
The Philadelphia 76ers walked into Madison Square Garden and handled business against the New York Knicks. After the final horn, then, Carmelo Anthony, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe shared a brief moment.
Tyrese Maxey scored 30 points and dished eight assists in his return from an illness. VJ Edgecombe scored 23 points. The Sixers sent New York into the cold Friday night with the Knicks' second home loss of the season.
Christmas and the NBA go hand-in-hand. The day serves for the top hoops league in the world, like Thanksgiving for the NFL. However, while the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are perpetual Thanksgiving participants, the NBA has mixed up the matchups and the teams throughout the years.
They say you can’t predict chaos, but when the Philadelphia 76ers roll into Madison Square Garden to face the Knicks, you can pretty much set your watch to it.
VJ Edgecombe scored seven points down the stretch, guiding the visiting Philadelphia 76ers to a 116-107 victory over the New York Knicks on Friday. Tyrese Maxey led Philadelphia with 30 points and nine assists, while Edgecombe supplied 23 points.
In a development that absolutely nobody saw coming, Andre Drummond has officially entered his sharpshooter era. The Philadelphia 76ers center, historically known for owning the paint and gobbling up rebounds, decided to expand his range in the most chaotic way possible during Friday night’s showdown against the New York Knicks.
The Sixers got two pieces of good news ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. First, Joel Embiid—who is listed as questionable with an illness on the latest injury report—was present at shootaround.
The Philadelphia 76ers have been without star point guard Tyrese Maxey for the last two games. The 25-year-old has been out of commission due to illness, and the Sixers went 1-1 with Maxey sidelined.
Joel Embiid has played three straight games for the Philadelphia 76ers, which is the most consecutive number of contests he’s suited up for this season.
Paul George just put together his best game since joining the Philadelphia 76ers, though it didn’t lead to a win. He looked more like the player fans remember from his prime, hitting seven three-pointers on his way to 35 points in Philadelphia’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
Paul George is coming off the best game he has ever had with the Philadelphia 76ers. Paul George turned back the clock and gave the Philadelphia 76ers a vintage performance when he scored 35 points on 7-for-10 shooting from three.
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.
The Philadelphia 76ers are barreling toward a roster decision that should not require debate, hesitation, or internal politics. Dominick Barlow has become too valuable, too steady, and too essential to the team’s rotation to remain on a two-way contract much longer.
Philadelphia 76ers' leading scorer Tyrese Maxey missed his first game of the season Friday night. Thankfully, the team's other, older All-Stars were ready to pick up the slack in a 115-105 win over the Indiana Pacers.
