The Philadelphia 76ers, founded in 1946 with the original name “The Syracuse Nationals” is one of the oldest teams in league history. The Sixers’ remarkable achievements include winning three NBA championships and reaching the NBA finals nine times in the past.
As the new season begins, the team might be experiencing a tough time, as they are reportedly plagued with a list of injured players. Despite the setbacks, NBA MVP Joel Embiid and the Sixers are ready to kick-start the new season on a high note.
76ers’ current injury status for NBA 2023-24 season
The Philadelphia 76ers will kick off their 2023-2024 season without some stars in action due to injury. The 76ers will unfortunately not be having the services of center Montrezl Harrell who underwent successful surgery to repair his torn ACL and meniscus and is expected to return in April next year.
While Harrell is expected to be sidelined for a longer period which could see him play a few games in the new season, the likes of shooting guard James Harden has been away from the team due to off-court turmoil between the player and the franchise. Point guard Filip Petrusev and guard Terquavion Smith are both reportedly out of the team with undisclosed injury status.
While other injured stars will be hoping to return to the team, Harden has made up his mind on leaving the team, upon refusal of the franchise’s president Daryl Morey to give him a deserved contract extension. However, the franchise will hope that the injured players return to full practices and scrimmages in time to help the team for the subsequent early fixtures.
76ers’ NBA 2023-24 regular season schedule
The NBA schedule always seems like a never-ending one as each team always has a demanding schedule. The 76ers are no exception as the team will be looking forward to adding to their acquired championships.

The 76ers will kick off their regular season against the Milwaukee Bucks on 26 Oct. 2023 at Fiserv Forum whom they lost to in their last game with the scoreline 117-104, before playing the Raptors just two days after on 28 Oct. 2023, which they won against in their last match up with the scoreline 117-110.
While the Philadelphia 76ers will be ending their 2023-2024 campaign with a game against the Brooklyn Nets on 14 April 2024 at Wells Fargo Center Philadelphia, the team will be hoping to finish up the season on a high note.
The best campaign for the Philadelphia 76ers was in the 1966-1967 season when the team was named as one of the top 10 teams in NBA history. The franchise averaged over 125 points per game in 81 games and maintained third position as the highest-scoring team in league history. As the new season kick-starts soon, the Philadelphia 76ers will hope to surpass their past glory.
