Today marks the official beginning of the playoffs in the NBA - what a wonderful time to be alive.

Joel Embiid Records Season-High 20 Rebounds In Victory

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was virtually unguardable during Saturday's win over Indiana, as he compiled 41 points on 14-for-17 shooting, adding a season-best 20 boards for good measure.

Georges Niang Will Miss Saturday’s Contest

Philadelphia 76ers power forward Georges Niang (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game vs. the Pacers due to left knee tendinopathy.

In the short-term, […]

Matisse Thybulle Will Miss Thursday’s Contest

Philadelphia 76ers small/power forward Matisse Thybulle has been ruled out for Thursday's game at Toronto. It's unclear why Thybulle would be prevented from traveling with the team, but Canada does require players traveling from America to be fully vaccinated, including relevant booster shots, against COVID-19. An integral cog in the Sixers defense, the absence of […]

Tyrese Maxey Drills Career-High Eight Triples

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey found his stroke from long range during Tuesday's victory over the Pacers. Maxey knocked down a career-best eight threes, far and away exceeding his previous high of five triples.
