Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (knee) is expected to be sidelined two to four weeks after suffering an injury last week. However, there's some optimism that Thybulle could return by the two week mark, according to Chris Haynes. Furkan Korkmaz and James Ennis should see more minutes coming their way.

Joel Embiid is Questionable Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Matisse Thybulle Ruled Out Indefinitely

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (knee) has been ruled out indefinitely following Saturday's victory over the Wizards.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons posted an all-around double-double against the Wizards on Saturday, registering 14 points, 11 assists, eight rebounds and four steals.

Philadelphia 76ers wing Josh Richardson scored 21 points in a win over Washington to go with three assists and two rebounds.

As the NBA season intensifies, the story lines about best teams and best players start to heat up.

Some may toss out […]

Al Horford Does It All For Philly On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Al Horford produced a very good all-around performance in Sunday's loss to the Nets, finishing with 10 points, nine rebounds, five assists, three blocks, and one steal.
