The Philadelphia 76ers discuss whether their win over the Sacramento Kings was luck or resilience.

VJ Edgecombe is reportedly considered off-limits in potential discussions ahead of the trade deadline on Feb. 5.

Jake Fischer and Marc Stein have been closely tracking the developing trade market and recently shed light on Philadelphia’s position. Their reporting suggests the Sixers’ level of interest, or lack thereof, while also offering an intriguing detail about how the situation is unfolding:

The thought of playing alongside Tyrese Maxey reportedly appeals to the Greek Freak.

The 76ers have a rebounding issue. Their 24 rebounds in Thursday’s 113-111 victory over the Sacramento Kings were the third-fewest posted by an NBA team this season. The Sixers (26-21) can’t brush this off as just an isolated incident.

The Philadelphia 76ers won’t trade VJ Edgecombe to acquire Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has interest in playing with Tyrese Maxey.

Jared McCain and the Philadelphia 76ers react to his breakout shooting performance in a win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid saved the 76ers from another embarrassing loss. But for a while, the on-court action was secondary because of a report that Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to play with Maxey.

Sixers basketball is fun right now. Joel Embiid is doing things I thought were well in the rearview mirror for him. Tyrese Maxey is continuing his superstar ascension. VJ Edgecombe is wading through the waters of being a rookie as a key contributor on a playoff team. Paul George has even turned back the clock as of late.

Winning ugly isn’t something the Sixers have done a ton of recently, and seeing them actually be able to do that will be a big boost moving forward.
