A day after moving into the top three of the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery, Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse shared how the team is approaching the draft. The 2019 NBA champion also spoke about the type of player he hopes to land with the No.

The Philadelphia 76ers are promoting Jameer Nelson to assistant general manager, sources tell ESPN. The 14-year NBA veteran and one-time All-Star is a Pennsylvania native and has served a scout and G League GM for the 76ers since 2020.

The Philadelphia 76ers didn't qualify for the 2025 NBA playoffs, largely due to the unavailability of their star players as Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Joel Embiid struggled to stay healthy in the 2024-25 season. This is the first time the Sixers missed the playoffs since 2017, snapping their streak of seven straight postseason appearances.

The Sixers will need to create financial flexibility to bring back the French forward, who played last season on a veteran minimum deal. Stein and Fischer noted that Yabusele was a "significant motivator" in the team's decision to cut costs at the 2025 NBA trade deadline.

Tyrese Maxey vows that next season will be better for the 76ers after their disastrous 2024-25 campaign where they won just 24 games.

In O'Connor's post-Lottery mock, the Sixers select Ace Bailey out of Rutgers, the guard who averaged 17.6 points per game in his lone season with the Scarlet Knights. Explaining the pick, O'Connor expands on the difficult decision facing the Sixers' front office.

The Philadelphia 76ers hit it big in the 2025 NBA Draft lottery by receiving the No. 3 pick in the upcoming draft. While it’s a relief that the Sixers will be compensated with a high pick after their awful season, it also could create some cap issues.
