Sixers’ Tyrese Maxey edges Coby White as NBA’s most improved

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey was named the NBA’s most improved player Tuesday night, defeating out Chicago Bulls guard Coby White and Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun. Maxey, 23, had a breakthrough season with the Sixers, averaging career highs in points (25.9), rebounds (3.7), assists (6.2), steals (1.0) and 3-pointers made (212). He also became an All-Star for the first time as he transitioned into playing point guard full-time following James Harden being traded to the LA Clippers. “I have had to take different steps,” Maxey stated during an interview with TNT before the Minnesota Timberwolves played the Phoenix Suns in Game 2 of their first-round series Tuesday night, when he was presented with the award. “In […]

Phillies slugger Bryce Harper hits 3 homers for first hits of season

Bryce Harper’s first hit of the season was a big one. Same for his second. And his third. Harper homered in all three of his at-bats for Philadelphia during Tuesday night’s 9-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The two-time NL MVP went 0 for 11 while playing in three of the Phillies’ first four games. The 31-year-old Harper drove a 1-2 cut fastball from Graham Ashcraft deep to center in the first inning. The 420-foot solo shot had an exit velocity of 107.7 mph. He came up again in the fourth and hit another solo shot to right. The 367-foot homer on the […]

Injury-ravaged Cavs sign Marcus Morris Sr. to 10-day deal

Missing three regular starters with injuries, the Cleveland Cavaliers signed forward Marcus Morris Sr. to a 10-day contract on Monday to give them some depth. Morris played in 37 matches earlier this season for Philadelphia before being traded to San Antonio on Feb. 8. The 34-year-old agreed to a buyout with the Spurs and was waived Feb. 29, allowing him to stay eligible for the postseason. It’s possible he’ll stay beyond his 10-day contract with the Cavs, who have been wrecked by injuries. Cleveland has lost three of four and is just 4-6 in its last 10 games.

OG Anunoby lifts Knicks to blowout win over 76ers in return

What a difference a player makes – and, specifically, OG Anunoby for the New York Knicks. After scoring the fewest points in an NBA match in over three years without him Sunday in a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers here at Madison Square Garden, Anunoby returned from a several-week absence with an elbow injury to help deliver a 106-79 victory over their rivals down Interstate 95. Anunoby concluded with 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists and was a plus-28 in 29 minutes. “Everything felt good,” Anunoby said in first game in several weeks after undergoing surgery to remove loose bodies from his right (shooting) […]

Doc Rivers gets earful from 76ers fans; Bucks get last word

Doc Rivers wasn’t sure what kind of reception he would receive in his return to Philadelphia, eight months after the 76ers dismissed him as coach. “Do they give coaches big receptions?” Rivers stated before his new team, the Milwaukee Bucks, defeated Philadelphia 119-98 on Sunday. When a reporter told Rivers he was different, he acknowledged the validity of the statement but noted he still hadn’t thought much about it. However, the crowd in Philadelphia came prepared, delivering a resounding chorus of boos when Rivers’ name was announced before tipoff. “I didn’t even hear it, to be honest,” Rivers said with a smile after […]

Pistons suffer 25th straight loss, hear chants of ‘sell the team’

Kelly Olynyk scored 25 points and the short-handed Utah Jazz defeated Detroit 119-111 on Thursday night for the Pistons’ 25th consecutive loss, one short of the NBA single-season record. The 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers and 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers share the record at 26. The 76ers hold the overall mark at 28, a skid that started in the 2014-15 season and carried over into 2015-16. “I want to be careful with my words, because this one hurts more than most of them,” first-year coach Monty Williams said. “A team that played last night got [50] points off turnovers and rebounds. It is unbelievably hard to understand how we can […]

James Harden joins 76ers training camp after 2-day absence

For one day, at least, there was no drama surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers. After skipping both the media day on Monday in Camden, New Jersey, and the opening practice of training camp at Colorado State University on Tuesday, 76ers star James Harden rejoined his teammates for their second practice on Wednesday under new coach Nick Nurse. Harden participated in “virtually” the entire practice and by the accounts of everyone involved “looked good” while doing so. “He looked good,” Nurse said after practice concluded at Moby Arena. “He looked good, participated in the majority of practice, anyway, and looked like he’s physically in good […]
