The Philadelphia 76ers won 94-89 in Toronto for the first time in their last 15 games north of the border. After their game 1 loss, the Sixers knew they had some adjustments to make. The biggest adjustment was having Joel Embiid guard Siakam, making Siakam less forceful taking it to the paint and more indecisive. [...]

When Joel Embiid takes the floor for Game 5 against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night, he may be wearing a different face mask. Actually, as it turns out, he may not be wearing any mask at all. Per CBS Philly’s Jon Johnson: [tweet https://twitter.com/jonjohnsonwip/status/993855265463324672] This news comes while Embiid is struggling to maintain his [...]

Trust The Process(‘ knee). Joel Embiid was limited to only 31 games as a third-year rookie due to an injured left knee that eventually required arthroscopic surgery. It was a sobering end to what was a promising debut following two years of questions and skepticism. Some of that doubt has creeped back into the fold, [...]

Sam Hinkie is rolling his eyes somewhere right now. Though the former Philadelphia 76ers overlord was no stranger for drafting talent over need, he never would have considered forking over an asset as valuable as the No. 3 pick in the draft—not when his team wasn’t yet on the verge of title contention. His successor, [...]

So this is why J.J. Redick is expected to land a contract worth between $18 and $20 million per year this summer: Everybody wants him. During a podcast recorded with Chris Mannix following the NBA Draft lottery, The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski said the New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets all have interest in the sweet-shooting [...]

Standing pat at the NBA trade deadline is working out pretty well for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They are going to land Deron Williams, who has parted ways with the Dallas Mavericks, and now they’re the favorites to sign Andrew Bogut, provided he reaches a buyout agreement with the Philadelphia 76ers. From ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon and [...]

It’s officially official: We’re less than two weeks out of the NBA’s Feb. 23 deadline, which means the Philadelphia 76ers are about to dominate the rumor mill until they deal one of their six kajillion bigs. Nothing sounds like it’s imminent, though. We know Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel are available, and that Richaun Holmes [...]

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 [...]

Let’s call Philadelphia 76ers head coach Brett Brown an optimist. Nerlens Noel is inching closer to making his 2016-17 debut, and that means Brown will have three top-tier center prospects on his hands. For his part, though, he believes he can make Joel Embiid, Jahlil Okafor and Noel coexist, per the Philadelphia Inquirer‘s Keith Pompey: [...]

Here’s hoping Nerlens Noel fancies Voodoo Doughnut. The Philadelphia 76ers big man has been available for basically forever. The team has a frontcourt logjam with him, Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor all needing time at center. If it wasn’t for left knee surgery that has prevented Noel from playing this season, he would probably already [...]
