76ers

Hassan Whiteside remains unhappy with how the Miami Heat are using him. He made that much clear following their Game 5 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, in which he logged just over 10 minutes. Here are the greatest hits from his postgame availability, courtesy of the Sun-Sentinel‘s Ira Winderman: Asked specifically what stood as [...]

Amir Johnson is one of the few veterans over the age of 30 on the team of the future, the Philadelphia 76ers. There was a time when he was a rookie straight out of high school and the youngest player on a veteran Detroit Pistons team that had won an NBA title a few years [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers are relatively young. They have the NBA’s 10th-youngest team by average age, according to Basketball-Reference. And what they lack in birthday youth, they make up for with general inexperience. Joel Embiid is 24 and in his fourth season, but he’s yet to play in 100 games. Ben Simmons missed his rookie campaign. [...]

The NBA does not have a four-point line, nor does it appear to be on the relative verge of implementing one. The idea has been kicked around, but as of now, seems too extreme even for this era. What would a four-point line do to floor balance? Where would the league put it? Would teams [...]

Joel Embiid really wants to rejoin the Philadelphia 76ers’ rotation. We always knew that, and it became infinitely more clear following the team’s Game 2 loss to the Miami Heat, when he posted some not-suitable-for-work sentiments on his Instagram. But if you think him applying passive-aggressive pressure to the Sixers will get them to rush, [...]

The NBA is probably the most popular of the major professional sports leagues worldwide. The growing love for basketball around the world and the gluttony of marketable superstars make the league an attraction in many areas of the globe. The NBA honors this by playing a few preseason and even regular season games in other [...]

Joel Embiid seems like he’s done watching the Philadelphia 76ers’ playoff campaign unfold from the sidelines. The big man has missed the past 10 games, both regular season and postseason, after having surgery to repair an orbital fracture near his left eye. Though the Sixers won the first nine of those contests without him, their [...]

Here’s the good news, Philadelphia 76ers fans: Unlike Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving (done for season), Joel Embiid sounds like he’ll be ready to rock at some point during the first round of the NBA playoffs. But here’s the bad news: It doesn’t seem like “ready to rock at some point” refers to the start [...]

Despite being without their All-Star Center Joel Embiid, the 76ers have been the hottest team in the NBA since the beginning of March. They set a new franchise record with their 15th straight win on Tuesday night over the Hawks, 121-113. [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/983888580476010496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] They are now sitting at 51-30 and can clinch the No. 3 [...]

J.J. Redick is determined to win an NBA title before he retires. And not only does he think that championship could come with the Philadelphia 76ers, but he believes there’s a chance his team could hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy this year. Is he for real, or just imagining a game of Royal Canadian Basketball [...]
