The Sixers will head into the 2025-26 season with a renewed sense of optimism. This is a terrific roster on paper with a lot of talent. Especially, with the upgrades made to the supporting cast such as bringing in the likes of Trendon Watford, VJ Edgecombe, Dominick Barlow, and Jabari Walker as Philadelphia boasts a much younger group of players.

VJ Edgecombe's first game at the Xfinity Mobile Arena was a gem. Up next: his NBA debut against the Celtics. Edgecombe will carry his trademark confidence into Boston.

A: The Eastern Conference is wide-open, thanks mainly to the Achilles tendon injuries of Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum and Indiana Pacers All-Star Tyrese Haliburton. With Tatum out, the 2024 NBA champions made drastic roster moves and underwent a semi-rebuild to get under the second luxury-tax apron.

In his first game in eight months, the oft-injured 76ers center stuffed the stat sheet in 19 minutes and showed flashes of his old self.

The Sixers looked several steps behind the New York Knicks in a pair of preseason games in Abu Dhabi. How much does it mean?

The Sixers’ mascot, Hip Hop, was retired in 2011. Now, for the 25th anniversary of the 2001 team, they’re bringing him back. And that's not all. Bill Roth, the original mascot, is coming out of retirement as well.
