NBA Cup 2024-25: 76ers Debut New Court Design, Seek Redemption in Group A

The second annual NBA Cup tips off this November, and the Philadelphia 76ers are ready to give it another shot after a lackluster debut last season.

Drawn into Group A in the Eastern Conference, the Sixers will battle the Orlando Magic, Charlotte Hornets, Brooklyn Nets, and New York Knicks for a chance to advance to the tournament’s final stage in Las Vegas this December.

Philly’s first attempt in the inaugural tournament didn’t go as planned, with the team failing to emerge from the group stage.

But with a reloaded roster that includes All-NBA wing Paul George and a healthy Joel Embiid (hopefully), the Sixers are better positioned to make a deep run this time around. Of course, that means that Embiid and Paul George will have to be on the court which right now, is the topic of many debates.
