Nick Nurse really pleased with how Joel Embiid practiced today: “He looked great.”

Chris Hine @christopherhine.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Quick note from Anfernee Simons' presser. Asked him about what LeBron James said, that sacrifice doesn't have to be a bad thing, and he added, "Sacrifice is going to be the word of the year."

Emmys deep cut tweet: Matthew Rhys now in line to pull the Stockard Channing. Might have to re-name it the Rhys since he might win two in the same night in the lead categories.

Help me stay employed at my new job by sending me questions to answer for a 76ers mailbag! They won’t like it if it’s only like one question long that I can use! I wish I could make it a Wolves adjacent mailbag for most of y’all who follow me but gonna stick to the Sixers!

Placing out a call for my first Sixers mailbag for @inquirer.com! Send in your burning questions about the team, the offseason, how it’ll all fit (or if you’re new here and want to know a little about me). Will get it up by the end of the week!

Here’s hoping the committee gives Marcus Freeman his due credit for a “gutsy” 4th down call in the first half of today’s win. Might boost ND a whole spot or two up the rankings come end of the season. (This may be a reoccurring bit. Get used to it)

How Tyrese Maxey playing more off ball could benefit both him and the 76ers next season. A deep dive into some numbers around Maxey's usage and three-point shooting throughout his career: www.inquirer.com/sixers/sixer...

inquirer.com

The Sixers’ star-studded lineup could mean big things for Tyrese Maxey’s three-point shooting

If Maxey plays more off the ball with LeBron James and Jaylen Brown now on the Sixers, he could get more high-efficient, catch-and-shoot three-point looks.

When I covered the Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards struggled in the play-in game vs. the Lakers in 2023 (3-for-17). One Wolves staffer told me it was a "Phil Handy special" of a game plan that caused the bad night for Edwards.

Chris Hine @christopherhine.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

The 76ers are bringing in one of the most highly-regarded assistants and player development coaches in the league: Phil Handy. Confirming Marc Spears' report, the Sixers are hiring Handy, who's worked with LeBron, Kobe & has also coached with Nick Nurse: www.inquirer.com/sixers/sixer...

Handy won titles alongside James with the Cavaliers and Lakers. He was also on head coach Nick Nurse's staff in Toronto when they won the NBA title in 2019.

Jaylen Brown on the Sixers' offseason: "On paper, we're excellent. We have a lot of talent compared to other teams in the league ... I'm aware it can go either way." Adds that leadership and "real work" will be crucial to making that work on the court.

Jaylen Brown when asked about him and LeBron joining the established Maxey/Embiid: "I want to earn everybody's respect and trust, and that takes time. ... my approach has always been my work ethic."

I have a friend working at a camp with kids who told the kids he knew the guy who took the Jaden McDaniels "they're all bad defenders" video. One kid said it was "the greatest video ever in the history of videos." Take that, Christopher Nolan.

Only thing missing from Mariah’s 30th anniversary of her “Daydream” album (Fantasy, One Sweet Day, Always Be My Baby), is an accompanying half hour documentary about why the 1996 Grammys were BS when she went 0-for-6.

You all know about the defense, but that last dribble drive, and-1 sequence is the one I think should have Wolves fans most excited about Joan Beringer.

Joan Beringer had six blocks in his Summer League debut last season. Halfway there today after that last impressive rejection.
