The Philadelphia 76ers open their 2026–27 NBA season tonight against the defending champion New York Knicks in a highly anticipated Eastern Conference showdown at Madison Square Garden. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET, with the game airing on NBC and Peacock. For Philadelphia, this matchup represents an opportunity to turn the page and introduce a dramatically revamped roster. The Sixers will feature a star-studded starting lineup of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown,

Nick Nurse has suggested that LeBron James could spend some time at the five this season as the Philadelphia 76ers adjust following Ariel Hukporti’s season-ending Achilles injury. With Philadelphia needing options behind Joel Embiid, LeBron could help fill those minutes in smaller lineups. Offensively, the idea has potential. LeBron’s passing ability could help the Sixers create open shots, while playing him at center would allow Nurse to surround him with more perimeter play

Philadelphia 76ers backup center Ariel Hukporti has suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon and will miss the remainder of the 2026-27 NBA season, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Hukporti underwent imaging Tuesday that confirmed the diagnosis. The Sixers announced that Hukporti will undergo surgery later today. With Joel Embiid, Adem Bona and Tacko Fall sitting out of the Sixers’ first preseason game against the New York Knicks on Monday night, Hukporti got the start al

Jaylen Brown did not have much to prove coming into his first game as a Sixer after a career year with the division rival Boston Celtics. 2025 was Brown's best statistical campaign to date, which is why it further baffles me that Boston separated from him, but that being said, it does not mean anything to Sixers fans who only care about what's next and not what has already happened. Brown enters Philadelphia with expectations of being a centerpiece on a Championship roster,

With the season nearing closer, there remains one question: Who do the Sixers fill their 15th roster spot with? There are a lot of intriguing names still left on the market, but only a few would take the veteran minimum on an already stacked roster, which likely involves limited minutes. Two of those guys are Kevin Love and Bruce Brown. Completely contrasted on the surface, Kevin Love and Bruce Brown bring entirely different opportunities to the table. One brings a nostalgi

An injury for Tacko Fall couldn't have come at a worse time. While trying to earn a roster spot on a training camp deal, Fall suffered apparent "hip soreness" at practice today. According to Justin Grasso he will be evaluated before the next practice/training session on Thursday. Fall had it pretty lucky coming into this deal knowing that Bona had an injury, Hukporti has shown flashes but wasn't set in stone, and obviously the concerns with Embiid's health. Even though this i

For the first time in a long time, the Philadelphia 76ers walked into Media Day with a feeling that something had changed. There was a different energy surrounding the team, a different level of expectation and, most importantly, a roster that has given Philadelphia plenty to talk about. From the stars expected to lead the way to the new faces looking to make their mark, Media Day offered the first real glimpse into what this Sixers team could look like once the season begins

The Philadelphia 76ers are entering the 2026-2027 with something they haven’t had in a while, a stacked amount of high-end talent. ESPN released their NBA Top 100 Players list ahead of the season, and Philadelphia has 5 players that cracked the top 100. Here is where they are listed: No.11- Tyrese Maxey No. 14- Jaylen Brown No. 18- LeBron James No. 41- Joel Embiid No. 72- VJ Edgecombe Yeah, you are reading that right. 3 players that are within the top 20, which excludes Joel

30. Brooklyn Nets The Nets come in at No. 30 in my 2026–27 NBA Power Rankings. Brooklyn went 20–62 last season, and while the organization made some meaningful moves this offseason, there is still a lot of development ahead for this young roster. The biggest addition is Julius Randle, who arrives in a four-team trade after averaging 21.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists last season. Randle gives Brooklyn a proven scorer and playmaker alongside Michael Porter Jr., who aver

After 18 years in the NBA, Nicolas Batum has announced his retirement from professional basketball. Batum, 37, announced his retirement Monday in a social media video alongside his son. "Yeah, that's it," Batum said. "Dad's done playing basketball. I've been playing for a long time. ... Twenty years as a pro. That's a lot. Eighteen years in the NBA. Fifteen with the French national team. ... It's over." Batum spent his NBA career with the Portland Trail Blazers, Charlotte Hor

Joel Embiid Has the Most to Prove for the Sixers This Season The Sixers have arguably the most talented roster in the NBA this upcoming 2026-27 season, the team has finally put the pieces together under new president Mike Gansey. When you look at the current roster and think what player has the most to prove, your mind may drift to Joel Embiid, and for very good reason. Embiid does not need to prove that he is talented. He is an MVP, and one of the most dominant big men in al

The answer is no. It has been reported by NBC that Adem Bona has suffered a foot sprain, now it's not considered to be serious, just definitely something to keep an eye on. NBC stated that he should be returning to on-court activities soon but what if this lingers or it doesn't heal quick enough for season. My thought here is that with this happening such late in the offseason, guys like Hukporti, Barlow, and even Tacko Fall need to show what they have in the tank. Depending

After 28 years on the mic, the legendary voice of the 76ers really thought he was done after the team finished a disappointing series against the New York Knicks. The Sixers brought Mike Gansey in to change the culture of the organization. The rest is history.... "When I retired, I wanted to retire, I wanted to have more time for myself," Cord said. "Then [the Sixers] made a trade for Jaylen Brown on July 1 and my phone started blowing up a little, and then on July 24 LeBron

Joel Embiid is undoubtedly a 76ers Legend. In the sports world as a whole nowadays the term "Legend" is defined by stats, accolades, and leadership. One big thing when it comes to "Legends" that people use in debate or even just normal conversation to consider someone a legend is if they won on the biggest stage of them all. Has this "Legend" won a championship, most of the time is what they think or say. Joel Embiid has the stats, he averaged 27.6 points, 10.8 total rebounds

Every NBA team and their fans have had to endure a rebuild of some caliber, but finally, 76ers fans are seeing the end of Sam Hinkie's master experiment. For 12 years, “The Process”, both the idea and the man have defined this franchise. The true definition of “The Process” has been consistent regular season success, followed by playoff agony. Within that agony Joel Embiid has given everything he has to the City of Philadelphia, and he has compiled a long list of individual

Today the city of Philadelphia has been blessed with the photos inside looks on what the new 76ers, Flyers, and future WNBA team's arena is going to look like coming in 2030. This new 1.3 to 1.5 billion estimated price is going to be a huge stepping stone towards the new development plan for the stadium complex. It all started with "Xfinity Live" renovations which now also changed the name to "Stateside Live" where they built a huge outdoor section with multiple outside bars,
