With the 2025 NBA Draft looming, now is the perfect time for the Philadelphia 76ers to reflect on a season filled with adversity, experimentation, and a few surprise bright spots.

While the season was largely marred by injuries, inconsistency, and the ever-familiar Sixers heartbreak, it wasn’t entirely without moments worth remembering. Below is a breakdown of the notable stats, milestones, and storylines from the 2024-2025 season.

Overall Record

  • Final record: 24-58
  • Standing: 13th in Eastern Conference, 26th in the NBA

It was a far cry from contention, but this year gave the front office and fanbase a look at players they may not have otherwise seen in action (i.e.: higher doses of Adem Bona, Ricky Council IV and Justin Edwards).

Fan Support

Even during an abysmal season, the Wells Fargo Center remained one of the league’s most attended arenas. If nothing else, Philly fans always show up.

Best and Worst Performances

  • Most Dominant Win: January 4 vs. Brooklyn Nets: 123-94 (29-point margin)
  • Most Crushing Loss: January 21 vs. Denver Nuggets: 109-144 (35-point margin)

Matchup Highlights

The Sixers Swept

  • Eastern Conference: Charlotte Hornets
  • Western Conference: Dallas Mavericks, Utah Jazz

Teams that Swept the Sixers

  • Eastern Conference: Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks, Toronto Raptors
  • Western Conference: Houston Rockets, L.A. Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Orleans Pelicans, Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns

Roster Depth and Player Contributions

Total Players Who Saw the Court: 30

  • 30 players have suited up for the Sixers this year, tying for the third most in league history with the 2021 Houston Rockets. The record is 33, held by the 2024 Memphis Grizzlies.
  • From Ricky Council IV, who played in 73 games, to Isaiah Mobley, who logged just a single appearance, the Sixers went deep into the bench this year (albeit not by design, but by necessity).

Team MVPs

  • Guerschon Yabusele (70 games played):
    • 2024-2025 Stats: 11.0 PTS, 5.6 REB, 2.1 AST
    • Yabu was a surprise standout for the Sixers with physical defense, smart off-ball movement, and consistent energy on both ends of the floor. His ability to fill gaps, set hard screens, and contribute without demanding touches made him an invaluable glue guy on a team searching for stability.
  • Kelly Oubre Jr. (60 games played):

What’s Next?

NBA Draft and Free Agency

The 2025 NBA Draft Lottery took place last week, and the Sixers were awarded the third overall pick in June’s draft, giving them a golden opportunity to reshape their future.

Shortly thereafter, 2025 free agency kicks off on June 30, signaling the official end to what was a disastrous calendar year for the Philadelphia 76ers.
