No need to add anyone at the deadline here! The Sixers are a deep enough team, clearly!

"The Sixers front office’s actions (and inactions) at the deadline just coincidentally saved the owner money while adding nothing to the team they have. Yet again." The Sixers trade deadline (and how they'll spin it) an insult to fans ⬇️ www.libertyballers.com/76ers-analys...

Just truly an embarrassment from the Sixers at the trade deadline. What a giant spit in the face for the fans, the players on the team (especially Joel Embiid), Jared McCain... Article soon.

I think people feel some type of way about the McCain trade. Just a hunch, though.

We have finalized a trade sending Jared McCain to Oklahoma City in exchange for a 2026 First-Round pick and three future second-round picks.

Sixers initial injury report for Thursday night at Lakers Joel Embiid is QUESTIONABLE (right knee injury management). Paul George is out due to suspension. For LAL, Jaxson Hayes and Adou Thiero are out.

The Sixers could have gotten Jock Landale for cash considerations? And then could have salary-dumped Andre Drummond, kept Jared McCain and still stayed far enough under the luxury tax to convert Walker/Barlow? Cool. Cool cool cool.

I feel similarly. IF this McCain trade is some sort of building stone for another move, then I can re-evaluate. But if it's just this, it'd be pretty hard to deny it was just to duck the tax. To do that to this team right now... yikes.

The Sixers were $1.3m over the luxury tax line after Paul George's suspension. Jared McCain's base salary this season was $4.2m. Gets the Sixers under the line with room for standard deals for two-way guys. If no other additions, trading McCain seems just like a salary dump to dodge the tax.

With a VJ Edgecombe-led win over the Warriors last night, the Sixers have won 5 games in a row for the first time this season. The last time the Sixers won +5 games in a row? Back in April 2024 when they won 9 straight to close the 2023-24 regular season.

Joel Embiid had to be in discussion for this month in Eastern Conference... but alas 🤷‍♀️ Embiid in January 10-4 team record 29.7 PPG 8.4 RPG 4.6 APG

If Paul George comes back with 10 games left in the regular season and plays in every one, he will have played 37 games. Last season, he played 41 of 82. So PG can now, maximum, play in just 47.6% of games in his first two seasons as a Sixer (78 of 164).

Great win and great game for the Sixers' Big 3 and Jared McCain. Two 12-win opponents ahead in the Kings and Pelicans, no excuse to not keep the ball rolling if you're Philly.

Oh my god, Joel Embiid!

NBC commentator just said Tyrese Maxey turned "back the clock"... He's barely 25???

Joel Embiid is back to being introduced as "The Process" at Xfinity Mobile Arena! Embiid had said he was "surprised" he stopped being introduced as such for a bit.

Sixers injury report for Tuesday hosting Bucks Quentin Grimes is now OUT (right ankle sprain) Joel Embiid is QUESTIONABLE, Paul George is PROBABLE (both for left knee injury management

The Sixers face the Bucks four times this season and THREE of those meetings are the second leg of a back-to-back for Philly. One of four is in a back-to-back for Milwaukee, but as the first leg. I will never understand how the NBA makes their schedules.

An FYI that the Sixers at Hornets on Monday will now tip off at 3 p.m. ET! The game is being moved up due to the winter storm. A team official confirms that the squad is already in Charlotte.

The Sixers scored just 13 points in Q3. It's their worst period since Jan. 2, 2024, when they put up just 12 points in Q4 vs. Chicago.

Joel Embiid put up 28 points in the first half vs. Knicks, less than 48 hours after playing nearly 46 minutes in the OT win over the Rockets... Wow.

I'm not a doctor nor do I know the intricacies of Karl-Anthony Towns' back issue.. but it seems like a REALLY bad idea to have him playing when it's clearly bothering him this much. Just thinking long-term, I don't know that the back is something you want to mess with.

Yep, Joel Embiid can still dunk like that.

Former Sixers' player Furkan Korkmaz said back in Sept. 2025: "Until now I thought Joel Embiid was the best player, best center I was playing with, but I think we can tell it's Alperen Sengun now" Embiid posted his staredown of Sengun with the caption "Furk..." on IG last night

And with that victory, the Sixers have officially matched their win total from the entirety of last season.

PLAY THE SONG. Sixers win in OT over the Rockets!

Officials in Sixers-Rockets did NOT call this goaltend... then declared it a jump ball on the ensuing loose ball play for an "inadvertent whistle"... WOOF. Inexcusable.

Phoenix Suns injury report does NOT list Jalen Green Green will make his return in Philly vs. Sixers tonight after being out since early Nov. due to a hamstring injury. He has only played 2 games this season, but is a career 20-point scorer in 4 seasons with Houston Rockets.

As somewhat expected (played 33 minutes last night), Joel Embiid is OUT for tonight vs. Suns (right ankle injury mgmt). Paul George is QUESTIONABLE (left knee injury mgmt). PG did not play last night.

Sixers rookie VJ Edgecombe just posted this on IG after saying last night he wouldn't do the dunk contest 😂 "Actually me and Tyrese Maxey might do the dunk contest 🤷🏾‍♂️"

Still cracking up at Kate Scott making a BONA 4EVER reference tonight 😂

VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey poking fun at the chatter surrounding their intense discussion during the Sixers' last game "I hate you! Don't talk to me ever again and go in the locker room!" 😂

👋

In the wise words of @paulhudrick.bsky.social: Holy shit, VJ Edgecombe.

hopping over to @libertyballers.bsky.social to post highlights and stats from the obvious, BIGGEST sporting event of the evening: Sixers v Pacers

Dominick Barlow heads to the locker room with assistance after taking this hard fall. Can't tell if he hurt his back, hip, or whatever other body part he might have landed on... so I'm not going to speculate. But Barlow was down for a little bit and struggled to walk after.

Kyle Lowry got a emphatic ovation from the Toronto Raptors fans last night. A really cool moment for the 20-season NBA vet. One of the people happiest for him was Sixers teammate Tyrese Maxey: "He deserve every bit of that love, every bit of it" ⬇️ www.libertyballers.com/76ers-news/8...

Joel Embiid having fun with the ref mic during the break 😂

No hesitation from rookie VJ Edgecombe in standing up for his veteran teammate in Joel Embiid in Q3.

The Sixers shot 5.9% (1-for-17) from 3PT in the first half tonight vs. Orlando. That's their worst 3PT% in a half since Feb. 4, 2021, when they shot 0% (0-for-10) in the first half against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Sixers rookie VJ Edgecombe headed to the locker room in Q1 here after being hit in the eye on this play. (No foul was called)

Remember that Sixers-Hawks backcourt/NBA Refs account situation from a few weeks back? Got to hop on Basketball Illuminati to chat about it all! This was such a fun conversation with @tomhaberstroh.bsky.social, @darthamin.bsky.social and longtime NBA official Don Vaden. 📽️⬇️ youtu.be/Y_ow38PEYkg?...

Been a rough shooting streak for Paul George recently... Dec. 19: 2-for-10 FG (20.0%) Dec. 23: 5-for-14 FG (35.7%) Tonight so far: 2-for-9 FG (22.2%)

The Sixers fielded their 17th different starting lineup tonight... in their 28th game. Trying to break their own NBA record set last season of 54 different starting lineups in a single season??

oh HELL yeah

I'll be honest, I didn't think I'd have to update this one, but alas — the NBA Refs social account has posted about it again. “Accurate rules knowledge serves everyone,” the latest post says, without providing any actual rule information... www.libertyballers.com/76ers-analys...

It's been a weird one on the other site RE: the backcourt violation no-call in Sixers-Hawks last night. Led me to some time digging in the NBA Rulebook, even... NBA Refs account calls out Alaa Abdelnaby for not knowing seemingly non-existent backcourt rule ⬇️ www.libertyballers.com/76ers-analys...
