NEW On Pattison this morning Jabari Walker spends his share of unseen hours preparing for nights like Friday in Milwaukee. On his best game of the season, dealing with the pressure of an uncertain role and the bond he's built finding beauty in the unexpected: onpattison.com/news/2025/de...

Johni Broome has been assigned to the Delaware Blue Coats, Sixers say.

The Sixers are 13-9. They did not win their 13th game last season until December 30.

Doesn't feel coincidental that Nurse has Lowry on the floor to start the fourth after last night's fourth quarter.

Giannis might determine what is best for his future with the Bucks by halftime tonight.

The Sixers are up 22 for the second night in a row. The Bucks do not have a Gui Santos or a Pat Spencer, so we'll see how this one plays out.

Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is OUT tonight at the MIL Bucks. Paul George is not on the injury report.

Before the Sixers nearly barfed away a win on Thursday night, Kelly Oubre Jr. spoke to reporters for the first time since suffering an LCL sprain in his knee: onpattison.com/news/2025/de...

Nick Nurse was asked how he balances congratulating his team on the win while delivering the message that the game should not have come down to the final play:

Tyrese Maxey: "Melt was NOT making that layup."

The difference between Tyrese Maxey and other stars his size is he's taken a ton of pride in using his athleticism to block shots when he can and anticipation skills to blow up the transfer on screens. His defensive playmaking has been outstanding this season.

An OUTRAGEOUS Sixers win. Holy mackarel.

Just not acceptable that this is a 10-point game with none of Steph, Butler, and Draymond available.

Sixers up 22 at halftime. Some outstanding defense by Philadelphia coupled with a frigid night for the Warriors. Embiid's defense has looked much better, Maxey's shotmaking has been brilliant. Quentin Grimes scored off a hesitation move in the time it took me to write this.

Increasingly convinced there are not 3 guards in the entire NBA better than Tyrese Maxey right now.

Tyrese Maxey has gotten so good at blowing up the transfer of the ball at the screen and then sprinting out of that for the hit-ahead in transition.

Really good defensive effort by Embiid in that first quarter. Looked mobile and versatile. Good sign.

The Warriors are shooting 10% from the field with 2 minutes left in the first quarter. They have 5 points. The Sixers are up 22.

Joel Embiid is AVAILABLE. Starters: Maxey Edgecombe Grimes Barlow Embiid

Kelly Oubre Jr. has been re-evaluated, is progressing and will be re-evaluated next week.

Joel Embiid game-time decision

As first reported by @noahlevick.bsky.social, Joel Embiid is now listed as QUESTIONABLE for tonight's game vs the Warriors and Paul George is now OUT. Quentin Grimes is AVAILABLE, too.

I’m told Joel Embiid’s been upgraded to questionable for Sixers-Warriors and Paul George (left knee injury recovery) has been downgraded to out. Sixers playing the first leg of a back-to-back tonight, are at Milwaukee tomorrow.

Sixers will play: Warriors tomorrow without Steph and potentially Butler. Bucks Friday ostensibly without Giannis.

Sixers injury report for tomorrow vs Warriors: Joel Embiid (left and right knee injury recovery) DOUBTFUL Paul George (knee) QUESTIONABLE Quentin Grimes (calf) QUESTIONABLE

Cannot wait to count the number of Facebook posts saying the Sixers should simply trade Joel Embiid and Paul George for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Sixers were fined $100K for violating injury reporting rules related to listing Joel Embiid 'out' against the ATL Hawks when he then proceeded to play in the game. Fine takes into account prior history of fines for violating injury-reporting rules.

Some 50 hours after missing 2 free throws that would've iced a victory over the Atlanta Hawks, Tyrese Maxey pummeled the Washington Wizards to earn the Sixers their 11th win of the season. A good, old-fashioned beatdown: onpattison.com/news/2025/de...

Maxey decided this game was over about halfway through the third and did the damn thing by himself.

Some outstanding effort plays by VJ Edgecombe in this third quarter.

Sixers lead Wizards 66-54 at halftime. Maxey has gotten some nice rest this game. Good secondary ball-handling from McCain. If this is a game going into the fourth, it'll be because Philadelphia let it be a game going into the fourth.

Ringing tonight's bell, Fran McCaffery

Quentin Grimes (calf) is OUT tonight. Andre Drummond and Paul George are IN. Starters: Maxey Edgecombe George Barlow Drummond

George, Drummond, and Grimes will be assessed shortly to determine game status for tonight.

Phew that is a HIDEOUS loss for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Sixers injury report for tomorrow vs Washington: Joel Embiid OUT (R knee injury recovery) Paul George Questionable (L knee injury recovery/lower back tightness) Andre Drummond Questionable (R knee contusion)

Six thoughts on a wild, wild basketball game, focused on Joel Embiid's return, the Sixers toggling between two offenses, and a nearly-heroic game from Maxey: onpattison.com/news/2025/no...

Quentin Grimes said that he did not hit his head on the play that the officials asked him to leave for concussion protocol after. He said he felt it in his neck, but that he should be fine.

Nick Nurse said Andre Drummond was ruled out at halftime due to soreness related to the other night.

Embiid is out at 30 minutes. It will be Bona.

Overtime in Philly. Incredible chaos.

3 and1s in this quarter for Maxey. He's up to 28-7-6. Has been a rough shooting game for him, but he's salvaged it by getting to the FT line for 15 attempts.

Sixers rocking with 3 guards (Maxey+McCain+Grimes) and George and Embiid to close this one out.

Tonight on World News: The Sixers have won a third quarter

If the Sixers weren't shooting 26% from 3, Embiid would have a comfortable double-double early in the third. His passing has been excellent.

Quentin Grimes is on the court warming up for the second half, which would be a good indicator that he cleared concussion protocol.

Sixers lead by 1 at halftime. Offense has been nearly pristine with Embiid on the court. They had a long, athletic Atlanta team in a blender all half. Some bad 3p shooting and some bad Maxey passes for TOVs have kept the Hawks in it.

Quentin Grimes is going to the locker room after hitting his head coming down from a tough floater. It is concussion protocol.

The offense with Embiid playing has looked absolutely killer. Sixers getting great looks, Atlanta is chasing heavy. Lot of it starts with Embiid's decision-making.
