The Sixers’ winning streak is over after their 125-124 overtime loss to a Denver Nuggets team that utilized a rotation of the only nine players they had available. With only Kelly Oubre Jr. and Trendon Watford sidelined – head coach Nick Nurse said pregame that both players should be cleared to return "any day" – the Sixers could not beat the Nuggets without Nikola Jokić,

However, the basketball gods granted the Sixers the No. 3 pick and they used it to select Baylor star VJ Edgecombe. After the rookie nailed a game-winning 3 in Tuesday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies, and finished with 25 points, Tyrese Maxey was thanking those basketball gods for Edgecombe becoming a Sixer.

Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe has turned his biggest collegiate flaw into a major asset at the NBA level.

The Sixers had a 107-103 road win over the Cavaliers to move them to 24-8 during the 2001 season. Iverson had what appears to be one of his most efficient scoring outings ever, dropping 54 points while shooting 20-of-30 from the floor, 4-of-7 from deep and 10-of-13 from the line. Sheesh.

The Philadelphia 76ers aim to build on the momentum of winning five of their past six games when they visit the injury-riddled Toronto Raptors on Sunday to open a two-game set.

V.J. Edgecombe is dominating early in his NBA career, hitting milestones not seen since LeBron James as he leads the Sixers.

The Sixers carry a two-game winning streak up to Madison Square Garden, where they won a couple weeks ago over the Knicks.
