They just lost in the first round to the New York Knicks, who are without three-time All-Star power forward Julius Randle, and they haven’t reached the Eastern Conference Finals since 2001. Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey said this will a big offseason for his team, and his statement could foreshadow significant changes, per Sam DiGiovanni. Daryl M ..read more

Fans of the 76ers were disappointed to see their team fall short in the opening round but they were also proud of how their squad battled. NBA icon Julius Erving was one of the many people impressed by the team. Writing on Twitter, Erving said, “I will remember this season for the guts and grit shown by the Sixers through injury and adversity. Thank you Sixers fans and congrats to the Knicks.” I w ..read more

(Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images)   The Philadelphia 76ers’ 2023-24 NBA season got derailed when Joel Embiid suffered a knee injury that cost him nearly two months of action. Embiid eventually made his return and led the 76ers down the stretch and kept them in the seventh seed after beating the Miami Heat in the Play-In Tournament. However, a clearly hobbled Embiid struggled to have the same impact in the first round against the New York Knicks and subsequently Philadelphia was dispatched in six games. Now going into the offseason, the 76ers will be one of the most aggressive players i ..read more

(Photo by Lisa Lake/Getty Images for PGD Global)   After getting off to a promising start in October, November, December and January, the Philadelphia 76ers’ season has ended in very disappointing fashion. They were eliminated from the NBA playoffs on Thursday by the New York Knicks in Game 6 of their first-round series on their home court, 118-115, even though they put up a fierce fight until the very end. When healthy, they have a very strong roster, but improvements will need to be made if they are to finally get over the hump and become a true championship contender. Fortunately, Paul ..read more

Oubre averaged 15.4 points and 5 rebounds during his inaugural season with the 76ers, while Nurse has seemingly built a strong chemistry with his players and has enjoyed his time as head coach. Speaking about Nurse, Oubre had nothing but praise. “He’s the best coach I’ve played for, straight up,” Oubre said, according to PHLY Sixers via NBACentral. “He's the best coach I've played for, straight up.” – Kelly Oubre on Nick Nurse (Via @PHLY_Sixers ) pic.twi ..read more

(Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images for SiriusXM)   NBA analysts were giving the Philadelphia 76ers a post-mortem on Friday morning after the team was eliminated from the playoffs by the New York Knicks. On “First Take,” Stephen A. Smith gave his opinion, saying that the team needs to hold onto Joel Embiid but also has to change its focus and build around Tyrese Maxey. “Tyrese Maxey is the face of this franchise. Maxey deserves max dollars,” Smith said. .@stephenasmith believes the 76ers franchise needs to revolve around Tyrese Maxey "Tyrese Maxey is the face of this franchise. Maxey deser ..read more

(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)   The Philadelphia 76ers played hard and almost forced a Game 7 against the New York Knicks on Thursday night. But the team ultimately fell short, partly because one player was a total no-show. Tobias Harris scored 0 points, going just 0-of-2 from the field during his 29 minutes on the floor. On Friday morning, Kendrick Perkins humorously laid into Harris on “First Take,” via NBACentral. “He asked them if they wanted something from Chick-fil-A before the game, the team told him yes and he came back with a bag full of napkins and straws,” Perkins said. Kendric ..read more

(Photo by Jeenah Moon/Getty Images)   The Philadelphia 76ers know that they need everything to go their way on Thursday night. With their season hanging by a thread, they must have their fan base locked and loaded at Wells Fargo Center to create a hostile environment against the New York Knicks. The proximity of the two cities and the Knicks’ popularity have opened the door for some opposing fans to flood the Sixers’ arena in Games 3 and 4 of the series. That’s why Sixers owner Michael Rubin decided to pull off a big move by buying 2,000 tickets for Game 6 to give them away to local fans ..read more

(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)   The Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks are starring in one of the most electrifying and exciting series in the NBA playoffs. These two fan bases have never liked each other. The proximity, all the trash-talking, and the physicality have made it this way, and the way these teams have played — and particularly Joel Embiid — has turned both arenas into a nightmare for the visitors. Knicks fans have been ruthless to the Cameroonian big man, insulting him left and right even when he doesn’t have the basketball. Even so, the former No. 3 pick is completely unf ..read more

(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)   The Philadelphia 76ers will live another day. They escaped Madison Square Garden with a huge overtime win, rallying late in the game to even things up, and then doing it again in overtime to secure the win. The fact that they did so on a night when Joel Embiid didn’t even score 20 points only makes it more impressive. Embiid struggled from the field and looked gassed out and hurt, and while he did finish with a triple-double, it was the Tyrese Maxey show from start to finish. That’s why ESPN analyst Andraya Carter believes he’s got to be in the conversation ..read more
