Sixers beat reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer | Arizona State alum | Probably at a game, on a plane or at the theater.
Spent the last few days in LA at the Association for Women in Sports Media (AWSM) convention, which always fills my heart and leaves me inspired. Particularly special this year, with mentor Paola Bovin honored with the Pioneer award and friend Jenny Creech with the service award ❤️
Here for Jaylen Brown’s introductory press conference, which is now scheduled to begin at 2:15pm
Significant Sixers contingent courtside today, including owner Josh Harris. Also Bob Myers, Mike Gansey, Jameer Nelson, Nick Nurse, Prosper Karangwa, and Dominick Barlow
Ariel Hukporti’s deal (and Anfernee Simons’ earlier today) is also officially official.
This is how the Sixers’ release describes the confusing draft compensation package going back to Boston
Dean Wade signing is officially official. Standard operating procedure with the moratorium lifted today. Expect Ariel Hukporti and Anfernee Simons to come through soon, as well.
Here is the full summer league roster. Labaron Philon and Johni Broome are on it, and new two-way signees Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert are not. First game in Vegas is Thursday.
Sixers first-round draft pick Labaron Philon Jr. has officially signed his rookie contract.
Still always the first Sixer to take the floor for pregame warm-ups? Kyle Lowry. Could be his final NBA game as a player this afternoon.
Howdy from Sixers shootaround ahead of Game 3, where Joel Embiid and Adem Bona were not (or no longer) on the floor when the media open period began, and Andre Drummond was not wearing his blue/gray jersey.
Also, t-shirts tonight since we apparently keep track of such things now!
Howdy from Sixers shootaround before Game 7. Trendon Watford eventually got the playlist shifted to Eminem’s Lose Yourself #reporting
Howdy from what will be the last shootaround of the Sixers’ 2025-26 season if they don’t win Game 5 tonight. Joel Embiid was present, and Adem Bona (unsurprisingly) kept it vague when asked about his expected role tonight. “I just gotta stay ready.”
Flashing back to the Sixers’ final regular-season road game at Indiana, when Edgecombe said this 👇 www.inquirer.com/sports/road-...
Joel Embiid going through his pregame shooting routine. He is wearing a wrap around his abdomen.
