NBA Twitter users were quick to mock Philadelphia 76ers superstar James Harden for his pregame outfit, prior to Monday night’s 119-115 upset win in Game 1 over the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. Harden was shown wearing an oversized jacket and long, baggy pants with blue fur covering the outside. NBA fans compared the 10-time […]

Philadelphia 76ers center and projected MVP winner Joel Embiid (right knee) is doubtful for Monday night’s Game 1 matchup against the Boston Celtics in the second round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs.

The Philadelphia 76ers took a 2-0 series lead over the Brooklyn Nets after a tough 96-84 win last night. Brooklyn’s mission in this series has been to not let Joel Embiid beat them on the offensive end, but that’s opened up the floor for others. Taking full advantage of that last night was Tyrese Maxey […]
ESPN’s Zach Lowe voted for Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid to win this season’s MVP award. The NBA analyst admitted it on his podcast late Monday. It should come as no surprise, considering the six-time All-Star became the first center to win back-to-back scoring titles since Bob McAdoo (1974-76). “I voted 2023 MVP Joel Embiid,” […]
