A two-way wing who can provide some versatility at both ends of the floor was what they needed. But with injuries and Martin struggling to deliver consistently, trading him landed a home-run return that came at a time when nearly everything was going wrong. Quentin Grimes was a revelation for the Sixers.

The 29-year-old wing returned to Philadelphia last offseason on a very reasonable two-year, $16.3 million deal and spent 2024-25 more than living up to it. While the team was constantly riddled with injuries, Oubre was reliable and available.

Photo by David Dow/NBAE via Getty Images I hope you’ve been enjoying a break from Sixers tanking basketball and some proper playoff action over the last week or so. We’ve got just over five months until we need to worry about Sixers basketball again, but we do know now one game on the team’s 2025-26 preseason schedule when it gets here. The Sixers have announced they’ll be heading to Abu Dhabi for a matchup against the Knicks.

Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images It’s finally here. After all the injuries, losses, and late season tank effort, the Sixers’ final game of the season has arrived. And we’re entering Sunday’s early contest against the Bulls on a positive note, too, all things considered. The Sixers have locked up the fifth-best lottery odds, which is not only a good result considering the late start to their tank, but also means all pressure is off for their final game.

And an anxious wait ahead of the NBA draft lottery... but we’ll get to that soon enough and can focus on the odds in the meantime. For now, the next opponent for the Sixers on Thursday is the Bucks, sitting at 41-34 and sixth place in the East.
