The Philadelphia 76ers struggled through a disappointing 2024-25 season, finishing with a 24-58 record, despite their lofty expectations. Key players like Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and newcomer Paul George faced challenges, with injuries derailing the team's chemistry and performance. While they managed to play only 18 games together, their performance was below par, leading to a rocky year.

Daryl Morey, the President of Basketball Operations, remains optimistic about the future, emphasizing the team's potential for improvement in the upcoming season. With a focus on draft picks and a younger, more athletic roster, Morey believes that the 76ers can rebound from this disaster and contend for a better record. His confidence stems from past successes since he took the helm, despite the current setbacks.
