The Sixers shot themselves in the foot in a bunch of different ways in crunch time tonight:

Six Thoughts: Sixers Start Long Trip with Meltdown in Chicago
The Sixers held a four-point lead with less than five minutes to play in the fourth quarter. They were then outscored 13-2 to end the game, suffering a bad loss

Dombrowski knew exactly what he was doing when he made the comments about Harper being elite.
I think Angry Bryce Harper is gonna have a monster season in 2026.

(Shirt says “not elite.”)

Sixers were outscored by 8 in the last 5 minutes of the game after Barlow was subbed out for Grimes, who finished with 2 points in 26 minutes.

Philly outscored by 21 in the minutes Grimes was on the court tonight.

This defense is wholly unacceptable and not befitting of a +.500 team on the first game of a road trip after 2 days off.

A 39-17 Chicago run since the Sixers led 13-2.

39-17.

Lot of time to let that nonsense on defense persist before a timeout. Sixers allowing the Bulls to do whatever they want right now.

Wake Up Dead Man was outrageous and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Joel Embiid is listed AVAILABLE for tonight in Chicago.
December 27, 2025 at 12:00 AM
UPDATE - VJ Edgecombe, Dom Barlow, and Quentin Grimes are all PROBABLE for tonight in Chicago.

Joel Embiid remains questionable.

Patrick Williams has been added to Chicago’s injury report with an illness.
VJ Edgecombe, Dominick Barlow, and Quentin Grimes all questionable due to illness.
Joel Embiid questionable for tomorrow at Chicago, R knee injury management.

Told reporters on Tues. that he briefly left the game in the 3rd due to a hyperextended right knee.

Didn’t know how it would respond.

R knee injury management is not a new designation, so seems to have responded fine.

Bryan and I are very, very grateful for your loyalty and support over this first month as we navigate our new gigs with On SI.

We wish you all a merry Christmas, and we have a Christmas wish list for each Sixer as the hours tick down until Santa arrives:

There has been depressingly little Sixers trade slop thus far. HOWEVER! Some Sixers-adjacent slop popped up this week.

So… should the Sixers be interested in a reunion with Guerschon Yabusele if the Knicks are willing to trade him? It’s complicated.

Should the Sixers Have Interest in a Guerschon Yabusele Trade?
The Knicks are reportedly open to moving Yabusele, whom they signed with their $5.7 million taxpayer mid-level exception this past offseason.

As Tony Jones first reported, the Sixers are signing MarJon Beauchamp to a two-way contract.

I wrote a quick newser on what he brings to the table (including some Doc slander!) + when we might see him in action:

Sixers Signing Former 1st-Round Pick to Two-Way Contract
The Sixers will waive Hunter Sallis to sign MarJon Beauchamp, the No. 24 overall pick from the 2022 NBA draft.

The Sixers shot below 41% from the floor, below 26% from 3, and had more turnovers than assists on Tuesday night.

Six thoughts on a clunker against the Brooklyn Nets:

The Sixers' starting backcourt has combined for 2-for-20 shooting thus far tonight.
December 24, 2025 at 2:19 AM
Sixers trail by 12 after 3. The absence of athleticism and size has hurt them on both ends of the floor, but they've also missed a million shots tonight. They'll have a chance going into the fourth, but not in a great spot right now.

Embiid is returning to the game, Drummond is staying in.
