76ers

This is fine. Okay, really, it’s not. The Philadelphia 76ers have officially moved Nerlens Noel out of their big-man rotation, per Bob Cooney of the Philadelphia Daily News: [tweet https://twitter.com/BobCooney76/status/810600581467344896] Well, that didn’t take long. Noel has appeared in two games for the Sixers this season, totaling eight minutes of action. After his second outing [...]

Nerlens Noel has not been shy about voicing his distaste for the Philadelphia 76ers’ fronctourt pileup. And yes, as the big man nears his return to the team’s rotation, that concerns head coach Brett Brown. Per CSN Philly’s Jessica Camerato: Brown is working to keep the team moving forward as a unit while still being [...]

Joel Embiid is so close to being able to play 30 minutes in an NBA game. Check this out: [tweet https://twitter.com/Sixers/status/804086583792193540?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] Embiid didn’t get to test out his increased minutes limit against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. The game was postponed because the floor at Wells Fargo Center was deemed too slippery/unsafe to play on. [...]

Fans who were looking forward to watching two of the most gifted young centers in the NBA square off for the first time last night were sadly let down as the scheduled game between the Kings and 76ers was postponed due to a slippery floor. [tweet https://twitter.com/BR_NBA/status/804115764198273024] Although neither team has a game scheduled Thursday [...]

Nerlens Noel has yet to play this season, and he apparently won’t be upset if his last game as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers is already behind him. From ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: Nothing has changed here. Noel has yet to appear in a game this season after electing to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery last [...]

Nerlens Noel appears on the verge of returning from left knee surgery he had in late October, which, well, doesn’t seem to have changed anything between him and the Philadelphia 76ers. Any way you slice it, Noel remains an awkward fit for a team that already has Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor at the center [...]

Nerlens Noel is set to make his regular-season debut for the Philadelphia 76ers later this week. Which means the Sixers’ epically clunky frontcourt logjam is inching closer and closer toward full strength. Woooooooooot. From Philly Mag’s Derek Bodner: Sixers center Nerlens Noel, who underwent surgery to repair an inflamed plica in his left knee on [...]

Even in injury, it doesn’t appear Nerlens Noel wants for trade suitors. With the Philadelphia 76ers’ frontcourt logjam alive as ever, we can expect Jahlil Okafor’s and Noel’s names to be bandied about the rumor mill until one or both of them is moved. Though the Sixers have already moved Jerami Grant, they’ve never once [...]

November 22, 2013. Do you happen to remember what you were doing on that day? It was the last Friday before Thanksgiving that year and it was the last time the Philadelphia 76ers have won a basketball game in the month of October or November. They defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 115-107 in overtime at home, [...]

We have our first trade of the 2016-17 NBA season. And, surprise surprise, it involves the Philadelphia 76ers. As first reported by The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Philly is sending Jerami Grant to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Ersan Ilyasova and a future pick: [tweet https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/793532530477690881] [tweet https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/793532897089163265] The pick in question, per ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe [...]
