After years of rebuilding that many considered extreme even by professional sports standards, the Philadelphia 76ers are finally on the precipice of going from rebuilding to just building. The Sixers have the chance this season to fight for a playoff spot, and after five seasons without a postseason appearance, fans in Philly are ready for the process to pay off.

THIS SEASON: WITNESS THE RISE



2018-2019 SEASON PREVIEW

STARTING FIVE
Markelle Fultz | 23.2 ppg | 5.7 rpg | 5.9 apg (at University of Washington)
The No. 1 overall pick in 2017 has elite athleticism, and should make an instant impact.

J.J. Redick | 15.0 ppg | 2.2 rpg | 1.4 apg
Should provide perimeter scoring for a team that has struggled on offense.

Ben Simmons | 19.2 ppg |11.8 rpg | 4.8 apg (at LSU)
The big man will likely shine in a point forward role for Philly.

Dario Saric | 12.8 ppg | 6.3 rpg | 2.2 apg
Saric's development, particularly late in the season, suggests a promising long-term future.

Joel Embiid | 20.2 ppg | 7.8 rpg | 2.1 apg
Embiid can do it all, as long as he can stay on the court.


KEY RESERVES
Robert Covington | 12.9 ppg | 6.5 rpg | 1.5 apg
Has developed into an elite defender, with multiple skills.

Justin Anderson | 8.5 ppg | 2.8 rpg | 1.4 apg
Anderson has found a rotation spot in Philly, providing frontcourt depth.

Jahlil Okafor | 11.8 ppg | 4.8 rpg | 1.2 apg
The big man can score inside, but hasn't made a consistent impact.

The Sixers (and their rabid fans) have trusted the process, but now the waiting is over and it's time for results. The Eastern Conference may be weaker than it was a season ago, but it presents a rather compelling opportunity for the Sixers to make a postseason push.

There's nothing like the start of a new NBA Season and for the Philadelphia 76ers it was a great opening night. The future looks bright with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons standing at the forefront. Embiid showing more of what he did last season, while Ben Simmons debuted one rebound shy of a triple-double. 2017's 1st Pick Markelle Fultz looked great as well putting up 15 points with 5 assist. Philly's got something to look forward to this season, The Wizards are arguably a top 3 team in the East and while it's still to early to tell, Philly picked up a 13 point lead to defeat John Wall and the Washington Wizards.

The Philadelphia 76ers hosted their home opener against their rival the Boston Celtics. Philly trailed behind throughout the game but managed to take a lead early in the 4th quarter, only to have Kyire and Player of the Game Gordon Hayward go on a scoring run that would give them back the lead. Ben Simmons racked up his 1st career triple-double in his second game as a pro. Simmons would also commit 7 turnovers, including a couple late game turnovers that seem to turn the game over in favor of the Boston Celtics.

The Sixers have decided to have Jordan Clarkson come off the bench behind JJ Redick. Clarkson provides so much depth to the Philly roster providing a two guard who can also run the position of the point. 4th string point guard Jacob Pullen was sent down to the G-League as a result of the Clarkson trade.

The Dallas Mavericks welcomed the Philadelphia 76ers to the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. Harrison Barnes led the Mavs in scoring and played a great game, Philly was down most of the game and had to fight back in the fourth quarter by outscoring Dallas 28 to 13. The game still came down to a buzzer beater shot from Ben Simmons with 0.8 left on the clock. Ben had his 3rd triple-double of the season, but this one was his first triple-double with a victory. The Sixers walk out of Dallas with their heads high and the W.
