The Philadelphia 76ers have faced a tumultuous 2025 season, finishing with a disappointing 24-58 record, primarily due to a slew of injuries that hampered their potential title run. Despite these setbacks, the team holds the No. 3 pick in the upcoming draft, providing a critical opportunity to either select a promising rookie or leverage the pick in a trade to enhance their roster. This pivotal moment could redefine their future as they seek to bounce back in the next season.

As the current Eastern and Western Conference finals unfold, several former Sixers are demonstrating their talents on bigger stages. The list includes T.J. McConnell and P.J. Tucker with the New York Knicks, and Isaiah Joe with the Oklahoma City Thunder. These players, who previously donned the Sixers' jersey, are contributing to their new teams' playoff runs, showcasing just how far they’ve come since their time in Philadelphia.
