Philadelphia 76ers schedule live coverage: opening night, key games

USA Todaya day ago
The Philadelphia 76ers will now move forward into the 2025-26 season following a miserable 24-58 year in 2024-25 due to injuries decimating the roster. Heading into the new season, the Sixers will look to Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Paul George to get Philadelphia back into contention in the Eastern Conference.
The full 82-game schedule is set to be released on Thursday afternoon. Sixers Wire will go through opening night as well as the key games on the schedule as they continue to get revealed. This is just another step forward to another exciting season of NBA basketball coming up again in October.
With that being said, one key game has already been released per ESPN:
Sixers at Knicks on Jan. 24
ESPN states that the Sixers will face the Knicks in New York as part of the network's triple header that day.

ESPN Touts Caitlin Clark's Actions Before Fever-Wings Game

ESPN Touts Caitlin Clark's Actions Before Fever-Wings Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For Fever star Caitlin Clark, 2025 has been a season of firsts, and not necessarily in a good way. She missed a preseason game with a minor quad problem that, it turns out, should have been a red flag--Clark has not been healthy for a significant stretch of this WNBA season since. She played the first week of the WNBA season, then missed three weeks. Clark played for 10 days, then missed two more weeks. Finally, Clark came back for a week in early July, just before Indiana was to host the WNBA All-Star game, and got injured again. This time, it is her right groin that is the problem, and it's been a full four weeks since she last took the floor. Still, Clark--who had never missed a game in the WNBA or in college before this season-- has tried to stay engaged with her teammates and, perhaps more important, with the fans. That was again the case on Tuesday when the Fever played Dallas at home, a game televised on ESPN. Clark was still in civvies, but ESPN highlighted her before the game, putting in her time with fans signing autographs. "Caitlin Clark is for the fans," the post read. Caitlin Clark: 'I Do Feel This Responsibility' That's been important for Clark throughout her injury ordeal this season. She has appeared in only 13 games, but she understands that, for better or worse, she is the face of the new WNBA and a big part of the reason attention on the league has surged. It may be unfair, but Clark has graciously said she has an obligation to do what she can for fans who paid to see her play, not to sit in street clothes. "It's hard, because obviously I do feel this responsibility of being out there and playing," Clark told Sue Bird on her "Bird's Eye View" podcast. Clark explained, she does not think the WNBA revolves around her, but that she does feel she wants to give paying customers a show: "And not that I think there's a fear of any of this going away. That doesn't happen when like, LeBron or Steph get hurt. [Fans] are always going to be there. But you do want to play, you want to give people something to cheer about or scream about." There is no timetable for Clark's return, though the team has been upbeat about the possibility. Still, there are now only 11 games on the Fever's remaining slate, meaning there is a distinct possibility Clark will not play again this year. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 13, 2025, where it first appeared.

Stephen A. Smith says he and LeBron James have ‘no relationship' after bitter feud

Things did not end on a good note with Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James. During an appearance on former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas' 'Gil's Arena' podcast Friday, Smith said that he has zero contact with James and does not have any interest in ever speaking to him again. 'There's no situation and there's no relationship,' Smith said. 'He doesn't like me, and I don't like him.' Advertisement 3 Stephen A. Smith looks on during the game between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder during Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Finals on June 8, 2025 at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. NBAE via Getty Images Smith's comments stem from his feud with the 21-time All-Star earlier this year, when the two threw jabs at each other during various appearances on ESPN, which ultimately led to an in-person confrontation during a game in March. The ESPN sports personality added that other things happened between him and James 'behind the scenes' that the public does not know about. Advertisement 'All I would say is people don't know the things that have happened behind the scenes,' Smith said. 'Things that have been said, who they've been said to. The kind of things that have been engaged in in an effort to hurt me, along with contemporaries and others.' Smith also mentioned how he did not appreciate how James came at him on 'The Pat McAfee Show,' which airs directly after 'First Take' on ESPN. 3 Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James arguing with the ref in the second half of a game against the Knicks.

And the last straw was him approaching me and turning the Bronny thing into something about me attacking somebody's family, when it was him I was talking about. Not Bronny.

Now, people can get into all kind of components that go into it and all that other stuff. I have nothing to say.' 3 Stephen A. Smith looks on before the game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers during Game 3 of the 2025 NBA Finals on June 11, 2025 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. NBAE via Getty Images Smith concluded by saying that he plans to only mention James in the context of NBA analysis going forward. Advertisement 'I'm never going to denigrate any employer, any partner, or myself by getting into anything excessively, unnecessarily, when it comes to him or anybody else,' Smith said. 'I'm going to do my job. I'm going to cover the game of basketball. 'But if I never, ever speak to him again in life, that will be OK. And I'm good with it.'
