Case in point: Philadelphia 76ers first-year forward JaKarr...

76ers-Grizzlies Preview
The Memphis Grizzlies had to grind out a win against the Philadelphia 76ers last month.
The 76ers will travel for Saturday night's matchup, however, and the road has often proved unkind to them.
Memphis (30-12) has won five of six with two of those victories decided by six points or fewer and another in double overtime. The Grizzlies had to go through 14 ties and six lead changes...

Tony Wroten Has Partial ACL Tear In Right Knee
Tony Wroten has a partial tear of his ACL in his right knee.
"While the precise timing and details of the procedure are still being finalized, what has been determined is that the ACL will need to be surgically repaired," said the Philadelphia 76ers in a statement.
“Until the procedure takes place, we are unable to provide a specific timeline for his return to play.”
Race to the Bottom
With 40 games remaining in Tank 2.0, it become obvious that the 76ers are not going to experience any Detroit Pistons-like push (9-3 in their last 12) for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. A roster that was built to lose, and has done so nicely, is now missing its key 6th man (Tony Wroten) for an undetermined amount of time. Additionally, the starting...

Philadelphia 76ers: What a rebuilding roster should look like
Last night the New York Knicks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia on the back of a 27-point, 11-rebound performance by Carmelo Anthony. This was one of those games where several players on the floor at all times were completely unrecognizable to the casual fan, with anonymous players like Lou Amundson, Langston Galloway, Travis Wear, and...

Declaration of Windependence: The Philadelphia 76ers and Winning
The Philadelphia 76ers are still bad, but they’ve been less bad as of late.
The Philadelphia 76ers lost again on Wednesday night. It was their 34th loss of the year. The news wasn’t all bad, though, because the team to whom they lost, the New York Knicks, is one of the two teams in the league worse than them in the standings. The 76ers are supposed to be bad; this is the way...
Philadelphia 76ers: Jerami Grant impresses with increased playing time
It’s no secret that Sam Hinkie loves his second round picks. In last year’s draft alone, the Philadelphia 76ers made five selections in the second round, with four more selections coming in next year’s draft. Hinkie acquires some of these picks in case he wants to swap with another team or needs to throw in a sweetener for a trade. Still others Hinkie keeps, either stashing...

Robert Covington Establishes Himself As Part Of 76ers' Long-Term Plan Amid Inquiries

Since signing a contract with the 76ers on Nov. 15, Covington has arguably been the team’s most consistently productive player...
Mid-Season: More Questions Than Answers
After an embarrassing 35 point blowout loss in their MLK Day matinee with the Wizards, the 76ers have now lost two straight games. Still, they are 3-4 in their last seven contests, which given the current roster is a respectable stretch of play. They are now just over halfway through (8-33) their 2nd season of…call it tanking or rebuilding, whichever you prefer…and trying...
