The Joel Embiid injury-update train remains at a standstill. The Philadelphia 76ers opened training camp on Monday with Media Day. General manager Bryan Colangelo was, naturally, asked about the health of Embiid, who appeared in just 31 games last season before being shut down with a meniscus injury. And, well, let’s just say the information [...]

From a very young age I have been obsessed with jerseys and fields and logos and everything that goes on with the branding of professional sports teams. While the jerseys can be over the top sometimes, college football’s embracing of a seemingly endless supply of specialty uniforms and helmets that started in the past decade [...]

Jahlil Okafor would have been viewed as a very valuable young asset in the NBA 10 to 20 years ago, but these days he is buried at the bench and difficult to move. The No. 3 pick of the 2015 NBA Draft is currently projected to be the third string center for the 76ers behind [...]

“Trust The Process” has become one of the buzziest of phrases or slogans in professional sports over the past half decade or so as that was the mantra of former 76ers general manager Sam Hinkie and his strategy for turning around the franchise from the ground up through draft picks, asset acquirement and frankly, tanking.

Ben Simmons doesn’t care about being the NBA’s best rookie. He has his sights set on something bigger. Like the league’s (unofficial) best-player crown. As he told ESPN.com’s Niall Sewang: “My goal is to be the best in the league,” he told ESPN. “I’m not worried about other rookies — I’m worried about the guys [...]

Regular inclusions in the trade rumor mill have not soured Jahlil Okafor’s taste for playing on the Philadelphia 76ers. He still loves them. Asked about his seemingly shaky status with the team and the prospect of playing in another NBA city, Okafor spoke in glowing terms, per Gatehouse Media’s Tom Moore (via CBS Sports’ Chris [...]

One of the biggest goals of the NBA and the NFL over the past five to ten years especially, is to become more of an international league and product. The NBA has had games in London and Mexico City and preseason games in China and Brazil for the past few years and the NFL has [...]

Don’t worry, Philadelphia 76ers: Markelle Fultz will not be joining Joel Embiid, Nerlens Noel and Ben Simmons as the latest top prospect to miss his entire rookie campaign with an injury. It’s unfortunate we even have to talk about this, but alas, Fultz suffered an ankle injury during summer-league play that warranted x-rays. Embiid was, [...]

Do the Philadelphia 76ers have that much trust in The Process? Joel “The Process” Embiid is officially extension-eligible. It feels weird to write those words. He has only appeared  in 31 games since being drafted. And yet, he just wrapped his third season. He will be a restricted free agent next summer, in a market that [...]

‘Tis the season for NBA draft mayhem, and the Philadelphia 76ers are authoring some top-notch bedlam. Armed with the third overall pick in this year’s draft, the Sixers have been linked from everyone to Josh Jackson, to Jayson Tatum, to Lonzo Ball, to De’Aaron Fox. And now, according to ESPN.com’s Ian Begley, they’re enamored with [...]
