The Philadelphia 76ers concluded a tumultuous 2024-25 NBA season with a 122-102 loss to the Chicago Bulls, finalizing a 24-58 record that fell short of preseason championship aspirations. Key injuries to stars Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey severely hampered the team’s performance, with the trio sharing the court for only 15 games.
President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey and Head Coach Nick Nurse confirmed their return for the next season, emphasizing a comprehensive evaluation to prevent a repeat of this year’s shortcomings. Morey acknowledged missteps in roster construction, particularly the focus on veteran players ill-suited for the rigors of an 82-game season.
Looking ahead, the 76ers aim to build a younger, more dynamic roster to support their star players and navigate the regular season more effectively. With a top-five draft pick secured, Morey intends to select the best available talent, regardless of position, to bolster the team’s future prospects.
Despite the setbacks, the organization remains optimistic about a turnaround, contingent on improved health and strategic roster adjustments. The upcoming offseason will be pivotal in reshaping the team’s trajectory and restoring competitive stature in the league.
