Next month I will join the Philadelphia Inquirer and serve as Senior Editor managing the NBA and 76ers beat. I’m so excited to team up with @michaelhuang55 and @InqPotosky to lead a storied sports section. We clearly have quite a few storylines to cover this summer.

“To have this big beautiful home in Avalon, and the beautiful place he has in New York, I just quietly weep sometimes. I’ll remind myself of where we were, and where we are.”

On Mikal Bridges and his "mama," who raised him as a single mom:

Jared McCain has been a success in OKC. What type of draft return at No. 22 would the Sixers need in order to make their decision to trade him a success?

How will the Sixers build for the future this offseason while being committed to paying hundreds of million to their stars over the next few years?

Which Sixers should Stay or Go next season?

Overpayments, questionable trades and one ugly feud: Daryl Morey’s biggest missteps with the Sixers https://t.co/9uJlmmHlKK

[Gina Mizell @ginamizell]

Can confirm via a league source that Daryl Morey is out, Bob Myers will take over in the interim and lead the search for a new front-office lead, and that Nick Nurse will return as coach.

It helps to be really tall

[DeAntae Prince @DeAntae]

The Knicks are really hunting this Dominick Barlow matchup and it's not working out as they hoped. Played really stout defense on Jalen Brunson.

[DeAntae Prince @DeAntae]

It looked like Tyrese Maxey had someone open on the opposite wing. Anything would've been better than an outlet pass off the backboard. One of few missteps for him tonight.

[Gina Mizell @ginamizell]

Nick Nurse is away from the Sixers today to attend the funeral services of his brother, Steve, in Iowa.

Steve, 62, died unexpectedly last Wednesday, the day before Game 6 of Sixers-Celtics.

The Sixers suffer yet another blowout loss, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey need to be more aggressive, and Jalen Brunson is out for blood.

What we learned from a 137-98 dismantling.

Joel Embiid wonders if Mikal Bridges' hit to his midsection was “dirty,” adding new spice to a contentious series.

“I don’t know if it was dirty or not,” Embiid said. “I guess I’ve got to do a better job of protecting, especially that part [of my body].”

Sixers release single-game tickets with restrictions for second-round series vs. Knicks https://t.co/YwbXiIac6J

Jaylen Brown challenged Joel Embiid. The big man obliged, backing him down and scoring over the top. That moment and many others created a signature win for the Sixers.

What we learned from Game 7 in Boston:

Joe Mazzulla explains the left knee stiffness that will keep Jayson Tatum out of Game 7 against the 76ers.

[DeAntae Prince @DeAntae]

Tyrese Maxey offered the word “desperate” while describing how the Sixers must play in Game 5.

The All-Star did not have an answer when asked why his team did not possess that mentality in Game 4.

“We should have been [desperate],” Maxey said.

Joel Embiid’s big return, Payton Pritchard’s big shooting night and more of what we learned from the Sixers’ Game 4 loss.

The Inquirer's @monica_herndon caught a shot of the wrap Joel Embiid will wear in his first game back after undergoing an appendectomy 17 days ago.

[DeAntae Prince @DeAntae]

Joel Embiid is finished with warm ups. He put up shots, did a little movement off the dribble before greeting his family and running to the locker room.
