Mike Gansey wants to build a roster full of players who want to be in Philadelphia for the long-term. Hence, fountains not drains. However, there is one Sixer who may not fit the mold. @btoporek.bsky.social with more👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

The Sixers have two key rotation players set to enter free agency in Kelly Oubre Jr. and Quentin Grimes. The midlevel exception may dictate their futures in Philadelphia. @austinkrell.bsky.social with more👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

The Thunder and Spurs are obviously on a different level than the Sixers, as proven in the WCF. @btoporek.bsky.social explained why/how and what the Sixers could do to narrow the gap👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

ICYMI: The NBA named VJ Edgecombe to the All-Rookie First Team this evening, the first Sixer to be named since Ben Simmons in 2017-18. @btoporek.bsky.social with a newser👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

There are many names being floated as candidates to be the Sixers' lead executive but one of them stands out for the wrong reasons. His name? Neil Olshey. @btoporek.bsky.social argued that it would be a bad idea for Philadelphia👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

Tobias Harris going without a field goal in Game 7 on Sunday night proved many Sixers fans right. But he was not the only former Sixer to struggle. @btoporek.bsky.social wrote about how Philadelphia made the right choice about James Harden👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

NEW @sixersonsi.bsky.social 3 biggest takeaways from Bob Myers’ first press conference, from which we learned more about his role, his beliefs about the prospective candidate, and more: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

The Sixers have a handful of notable free agents this offseason. But if they can only retain one, there's a clear choice. My latest at @sixersonsi.bsky.social: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

Whomever the Sixers hire as Daryl Morey's replacement has a lot of work to do and not much financial flexibility to do it with. At @sixersonsi.bsky.social, I put together a Sixers offseason primer — free agents, cap space, draft picks, trade options and more. www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

Jared McCain scored 18 points in 18 minutes for the Thunder in Game 2 against the Lakers on Thursday night—something the #Sixers could desperately use. @btoporek.bsky.social has more👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

The #Sixers fourth-quarter meltdown in Game 2 against the Knicks spoiled what was the Dominick Barlow game. Nick Nurse turned to Barlow in the second half and he provided a defensive spark that the box score won't show. @btoporek.bsky.social has more👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

Joel Embiid has been sidelined for Game 2 against the Knicks due to ankle and hip injuries. @btoporek.bsky.social recapped the latest👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

The #Sixers bench scoring struggles have glared all playoffs and Jared McCain's 12-point performance last night only added salt to the wound. @btoporek.bsky.social with more👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

Joel Embiid is probable, which has been the standard. Except this time, he holds a third injury designation for the third consecutive game. @btoporek.bsky.social broke down the injury report for Game 2👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

The Knicks kicked the Sixers' asses last night, plain and simple. How concerned should the Sixers be moving forward? Was Game 1 a sign of things to come or an aberration? At @sixersonsi.bsky.social, I wrote about both the glass-half-full and glass-half-empty cases: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

Less than 24 hours after the #Sixers sent the Celtics out of the postseason, Jaylen Brown resorted to a livestream to air out his complaints. @btoporek.bsky.social rounded up all the negative things Brown said about the Sixers👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

The #Sixers injury report is essentially clean ahead of Game 7 and while Boston's is as well, the Celtics face a major question mark. @btoporek.bsky.social with the latest👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

Joel Embiid's 33-point performance in Game 5 proved a truth: the #Sixers cannot move on from Joel Embiid yet. @btoporek.bsky.social argues why👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

Tyrese Maxey was asked if the Sixers always thought this series with the Celtics would be competitive despite what national media thought it would be:

Paul George had only three words for VJ Edgecombe after he recorded a 30-point double-double in Game 2: "You did that?" Jacob Moreno wrote about how the 20-year-old solved Boston's defense and saved the #Sixers playoff hopes👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

VJ Edgecombe's 30 points, 10 rebounds, and six three-pointers guided the #Sixers to a 111-97 Game 2 win against Boston, but that's only the start of what he accomplished. @btoporek.bsky.social recapped VJ's historic night👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

There were many reasons why the #Sixers suffered their worst opening playoff loss in franchise history. Their inadequate center depth was a huge factor. Jacob Moreno wrote about Adem Bona and Andre Drummond's struggles in Game 1👇 www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

VJ Edgecombe on what went through his mind on the acrobatic and-1 layup he made in the first half (via @austinkrell.bsky.social):

Daryl Morey said no needle-movers got moved at this year's trade deadline. Tell that to Coby White. At @sixersonsi.bsky.social, I wrote about how the Sixers' cost-cutting over the past 12 months cost them a shot at landing the guy who saved the Hornets' season. www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...
