There was not a whole lot of value to observe on a night the Sixers got out-talented by the Cleveland Cavaliers. So here are some general thoughts I have on Quentin Grimes, Andre Drummond, and Nick Nurse's rotation decisions @sixersonsi.bsky.social: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

Barlow deflecting a pass on a help rotation right into Bona's hand, only for it to land in Mobley's hands for a kickout 3 to Dean Wade (which he missed) is about the most Sixers 3rd quarter nonsense we've seen all season.

Aside from your typical barrage of threes because the Sixers pull in on drives way too much, hard to complain about much in that first half. Real good effort despite being severely undermanned.

Truly very silly that the Kings couldn't figure out a spot in the rotation for Keon Ellis.

All of James Harden, Donovan Mitchell Evan Mobley, and Keon Ellis will be available for Cavs-Sixers tonight.

VJ Edgecombe will miss tonight's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

VJ Edgecombe's AAU coach Anthony Ricks said to @austinkrell.bsky.social that he was confident in the rookie's ability to play with and without the ball. These skills could be crucial as the #Sixers head into a two-game span without Tyrese Maxey. Austin has more (link below👇)

Tyrese Maxey is down for at least the next 2 games, but there are those who believe one Sixer has the goods to be a lead ballhandler. "We ran everything through him." New @sixersonsi.bsky.social on the challenge ahead: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

When Mikel Brown—a projected lottery pick in this summer's draft—went down with injury, Anthony Ricks trusted VJ Edgecombe to lead their AAU program. "We ran everything through him," Ricks told me. Edgecombe is about to face a similar challenge @sixersonsi.bsky.social: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

NEWS: Tyrese Maxey suffered a sprain of the right fifth finger. He will undergo additional testing and consultation in the coming days to determine a treatment plan. He is OUT for the next two games and further updates will be provided after the back-to-back.

I wrote about a Sixers season suddenly in grave danger and how one decision stood out as Tyrese Maxey rolled on the court, clutching his right hand in pain on Saturday night @sixersonsi.bsky.social www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

Cam being a real Payne in the Hawks' ass.

Jonathan Kuminga has been ruled out for tonight's game between Sixers and Hawks.

The Sixers’ season is at an inflection point. There is one piece of grace that might just save them from the Play-In tournament @sixersonsi.bsky.social: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

You guys gotta watch 56 Days on Prime.

@austinkrell.bsky.social argues the #Sixers fandom's anger toward the Jared McCain trade has gone too far in the grand scheme of things. Read his column (link in replies👇)

The trade deadline was a month ago. Yet you don't have to go far to find outrage that burns intensely over every moment Jared McCain has been on the court in Oklahoma City. A column on a local dialogue that has gone beyond reason @sixersonsi.bsky.social: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

The Sixers are going to survive. Philadelphia sat in zone with Keyonte George sitting on 30 points and 5 made threes for reasons I do not understand. It did not matter. Important win by the skin of their teeth. The Sixers are 34-28.

In the span of 24 hours, Andre Drummond has chosen to get into a three-point shootout with Victor Wembayama, which sparked a run that put the Sixers in their grave for the night, and lost 3 defensive rebounds (by my count) to Mo Bamba.

No one is moving on offense. The Sixers are Sixering to start the third.

Asked about Andre Drummond, Nurse says that Drummond will continue to be an option for the team and that team needs him.

Nick Nurse says the imaging on VJ Edgecombe's MRI came back good and Edgecombe has said "He's OK". Will be re-evaluated in the coming days.

Paul George has further embraced a mentorship role for the #Sixers during his 25-game suspension. @austinkrell.bsky.social with more👇

To make matters worse, Kelly Oubre Jr. remains out tonight with an illness.

An MRI confirmed today that VJ Edgecombe suffered a lumbar contusion. Edgecombe is out for tonight’s game against Utah and will be reevaluated ahead of the team’s next game at Atlanta.

A little more than halfway through his 25-game suspension, Paul George has taken on two roles for the Sixers. How George has used the time to stay productive, for himself, his teammates, and his coaches @sixersonsi.bsky.social: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

No update on VJ Edgecombe yet, per Nick Nurse. He'll get checked out and an update will be provided then.

Sixers ruled VJ Edgecombe out for the rest of the game with low back soreness.

Short of an outrageous 3p shooting half, can't think of many ways this game was ever going to play out differently down 2 starting wings and your primary center. Spurs are damn good. Sixers just overwhelmed and undermanned.

Sixers down by 7 after one. They're shooting 32% from the field. Trying to play quicker, even off makes, but Trendon Watford is having a number of record-scratch moments on offense. Might need to give Jabari Walker a look if that continues.

Sixers starters: Tyrese Maxey VJ Edgecombe Quentin Grimes Dominick Barlow Andre Drummond

Mitch Johnson said Harrison Barnes woke up from his afternoon nap and his ankle didn't feel right. As a nap guy myself, that must've been a helluva nap.

Nick Nurse says Justin Edwards will likely come into play tonight and Quentin Grimes will be upgraded to starter-like minutes.

Both the Sixers and Spurs have released their injury reports. The Sixers' best chance at a win? Prayer @sixersonsi.bsky.social: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

The Sixers @ Nuggets game on March 17 has been moved to national tv (NBC/Peacock) and game time changed to 10 PM ET.

Tyrese Maxey shot 12/34. It was a footnote in a much bigger story on Sunday night. The Sixers will be seeing Neemias Queta in their nightmares tonight @sixersonsi.bsky.social: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

Justin Edwards recalled from the Delaware Blue Coats.

The #Sixers will take on the Celtics at TD Garden at 8 p.m. EST on NBC. Philadelphia won two of its three games against Boston this season. The Celtics allow the fewest number of points per game in the NBA and record the least amount of turnovers.

Johni Broome underwent a successful partial meniscectomy to address a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee. The procedure was performed by Dr. Riley Williams at HSS in New York, NY. Re-evaluated in four weeks.

An MRI today revealed that Joel Embiid suffered a strained right oblique. Embiid will miss the team’s next three games and be reevaluated following the upcoming back-to-back.

Jayson Tatum is listed OUT for tomorrow’s game vs the Sixers, Celtics announce.

Sixers say Joel Embiid reported increased soreness in right side after Thursday’s game. Did not participate in practice today. His status for tomorrow will be updated on the injury report tonight. No update on Johni Broome’s surgery.

Sixers have assigned Justin Edwards to the Delaware Blue Coats.

"Obviously, it was meant to be funny. So I'm glad everybody picked up on that. It wasn't supposed to be No. 1 on billboard charts. It was just something to be funny and fun and try to have fun with this." - Kelly Oubre Jr. on his song "Fast & Furious" via @austinkrell.bsky.social

Kelly Oubre Jr. wants you to know he’s not a rapper—at all. But he does enjoy making music. Meet t$unami, Oubre’s beat-producing, Paul Walker-loving alter ego @sixersonsi.bsky.social: www.si.com/nba/76ers/on...

VJ Edgecombe, asked about Joel Embiid clearly playing through rib and shoulder discomfort all game, emphasized Embiid’s character and toughness and reiterated that he thinks the way people talk about him is “not true”. (via @austinkrell.bsky.social)

Maxey: "We were blessed with VJ Edgecombe and I think as the Sixers organization, as a fanbase, we should be very, very happy, very pleased and very thankful. I know I am extremely thankful for him."

Tyrese Maxey, holding the game ball, says his mother usually takes possession of his milestone tokens but he's going to see if he can keep this one because she wasn't in attendance for this game. He taps the microphone on the way out and says, "Mom, that's crazy that you didn't come to my game".
