The Philadelphia 76ers are the most unpredictable team in the NBA next season. That is pretty much how people would sum the team up ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, with early predictions for the squad’s potential finish ranging from comfortably making the playoffs as a high seed to missing the postseason outright for the second straight year and being in the lottery anew.
Part and parcel behind that degree of variance is the fact that the 76ers are still facing a nebulous outlook when it comes to the healthy and availability of their best player. Joel Embiid is still seemingly far away from making his return to the hardwood, and fans already fear the very imminent possibility of him not being in uniform to start the campaign, as was the case last season.
