Where Do the Sixers Stand Heading into the 2023-24 Season?
Posted: Fri Dec 01, 2023 8:48 am
After finishing 3rd in the Eastern Conference and once again being knocked out in the second round, the Sixers are looking for a fresh start this upcoming season with new head coach Nick Nurse. However, the beginning of this season is heading in a turbulent direction, just as we saw a few years ago. So first, a recap… The Sixers did not end last season on a high note and have since had quite the dramatic offseason. After losing in 7 games to the Boston Celtics in the second round, the Sixers promptly fired Doc Rivers and hired former Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse. In free agency, they signed Patrick Beverley, Paul Reed, and Mo Bamba while losing Georges Niang, Shake Milton, and Jalen McDaniels. To add on, after a lackluster draft night, James Harden opted into his player option and requested a trade. Harden only wants to be traded to the Clippers, but so far, neither side has been able to work out a deal. Now, Daryl Morey has been called a liar by Harden, and the rift between the front office and Harden is “irreparable.” Sound familiar? Where are they now? With training camp around the corner, the Sixers roster currently looks like this:
