Brandon Apter (@bapter23), Managing Editor It's weird to think that throughout this whole Joel Embiid "saga", we haven't heard the guy speak even once. The Sixers 2014 draft pick has gone from lazy in recovery last year to hitting the weights/shirley temple's hard and being more mentally committed this season. The last few weeks, Embiid has […]

Jahlil Okafor will have one year under his belt, two years for Nerlens Noel, while Joel Embiid could potentially […]
Brandon Apter (@bapter23), Managing Editor The young Sixers team lacks veteran leadership. There's no getting around that. It has shown all season and it showed again when the Sixers played the Knicks on Friday night, with Jahlil Okafor and Kristaps Porzingis going head-to-head for the first time all season. Although they were only covering each […]

Pompey also mentioned that he will wear goggles during the game to protect his eye from further injury. […]
Brandon Apter (@bapter23), Managing Editor This past Saturday, we learned that the Sixers were "in talks" with Mike D'Antoni about an associate head coach position with the team. Six days later, it seems like those talks have evolved into a deal. According to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, two league sources indicated that the […]
Brandon Apter (@bapter23), Managing Editor After a second half implosion on Monday against the Bulls, the Sixers (1-25) hit the road for a matchup with the Hawks (14-12) at Phillips Arena in downtown Atlanta, the final stop on their three-game road trip. Both teams are in their own respective slumps. The Sixers haven't won on […]
Brandon Apter (@bapter23), Managing Editor At 1-25, there is hardly anything to be excited about as a Sixers fan. Sure, Jahlil Okafor just posted his fourth straight game with 20+ points, but Nerlens Noel has been disappointing, Isaiah Canaan has been erratic and there's just not a time that we've seen this team put together […]

The last Brown that the Sixers had at the helm, Larry, brought the Sixers to the finals and helped develop one young player that everyone remembers, Allen […]
While the 2015-16 Sixers continue to spiral into the depth of NBA embarrassment, one bright side of "the process", believe it or not, looks to be the recovery process of 2014 third overall pick, Joel Embiid. After missing all of last season with a foot injury, Embiid had a setback in his recovery, a process […]
