While the Sixers are, obviously, not where they expected to be at this point in the season, the injuries have opened the door for undrafted rookie Justin Edwards to get an opportunity.

The narratives around the Oklahoma City Thunder this season has predominantly fallen back on the play of MVP candidate, and the league's leading scorer, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Needless to say, that's fair in many respects.

With the NBA trade deadline a week away, let’s look at three deals the Thunder could make. And emphasis on could.

The 2025 NBA trade deadline is on the horizon. The Philadelphia 76ers will presumably be buyers, though they are not among the most eager teams to make a big splash. The Sixers prefer not to tank the remainder of this season, but their losing record will surely influence their approach before the deadline on Thursday, February 6.

Having already committed three first-half turnovers, the Sixers’ Paul George took a couple of slow dribbles toward the baseline, spun out of a trap and zipped a pass crosscourt … 10 feet over his intended recipient’s head and into the seats.

The Sixers beat the Cavaliers for their best win since defeating the Boston Celtics on Christmas Day. Cleveland, at 36-8, are tied with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the best record in basketball.

But Detroit (21-21) is ninth in the East this time around. Former Oklahoma State star Cade Cunningham has a chance to earn an All-Star selection, and new additions such as Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr. have added some much-needed 3-point shooting.

As the Sixers fall to 15-25 with the trade deadline nearing, the team's brass has some major decisions to make.

Wolves star Anthony Edwards ... for the Thunder to slip itself a lead. Gilgeous-Alexander might be having the best week of his career. It started last Monday in Oklahoma City, a blowout against ...

When everyone is healthy, there will be backcourt minutes to be had, and the 76ers can cut their losses on this scuffling season by giving them to younger players with upside.

Kirby Dach scored twice and the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Utah Hockey Club 5-3 on Tuesday night. Mike Matheson, Patrik Laine and Cole Caufield also scored for Montreal, which has won eight of its last 10.

Health will remain the biggest factor for what happens to this team, both this year and the outlook for the next couple. The Sixers who are able to suit up though, are still giving it their all.
