In a short period of time, the Philadelphia 76ers have become one of the most intriguing teams in the NBA. The franchise is on a four-game winning streak with superstar Joel Embiid on a minutes restriction. Philadelphia’s early success can be attributed to the dynamic duo of Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe.
The Philadelphia 76ers are off to one of the hottest starts in the league, and surprisingly, it’s not because of Joel Embiid. The 2023 MVP has been on a minutes restriction, playing around 20 minutes a night.
Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain has taken the next step in his return from the torn UCL he sustained during a late offseason workout. On Thursday, McCain was a full participant in a non-contact practice, per PHLY Sports reporter Kyle Neubeck.
In the midst of their impressive start to the season, no player on the Philadelphia 76ers has shined brighter than VJ Edgecombe. As he continues to shine to start his NBA career, the young guard is quickly gaining notoriety across the association.
The all-time list of NBA All-Stars is obviously long, and notably distinguished. However, there are some players — for various reasons — who the casual, or even most-dedicated, NBA fans can't recall having earned All-Star nods.
The Philadelphia 76ers exercised the third-year contract option on guard Jared McCain, who returned to practice on Thursday after his impressive rookie season was cut short last December by a knee injury.

The Philadelphia 76ers are off to a scorching 4-0 start, powered by their explosive backcourt duo of Tyrese Maxey and rookie sensation VJ Edgecombe. Charles Barkley isn’t worried about the basketball, though.
Not many predicted a 4-0 start for the Philadelphia 76ers this season, even less so with Joel Embiid not being one of the main protagonists. The question now, in the minds of the Philly faithful and the NBA community as a whole, is whether it’s just a false start or if there’s actually something special brewing.
Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George has yet to make his 2025-26 NBA season debut. The star forward is dealing with left knee surgery recovery, which he underwent in July.
The Philadelphia 76ers are feeling good about where they are at early on. The rookie first-rounder VJ Edgecombe couldn’t be off to a better start, and he’s feeling extremely confident about where his team is at currently.
Tyrese Maxey’s first four games of the 2025-2026 NBA season have changed the conversations surrounding his name. Last season, Maxey found himself out of the NBA All-Star picture after making the big game for the first time in his career two seasons ago.
The 2025 Philadelphia 76ers are quickly turning into one of the most fun teams of the NBA season. They are 4-0 and have been scoring in bunches this season.
The Philadelphia 76ers have gone somewhat under-the-radar as a solid drafting team over the last few decades. But their recent additions have made it glaringly obvious just how good the front office has been at the NBA Draft.
