Alright, so I was curious today, wanted to figure out who the Philadelphia 76ers are actually putting on the floor to start games these days. You hear stuff, see highlights, but sometimes you just gotta check for yourself, you know?
So, what I did was pretty simple. Grabbed my phone, opened up a browser. Didn’t go anywhere fancy, just typed in something like “76ers starting five” or “Philly starters tonight”. Had to sift through a few results, you know how search engines are, sometimes they give you old news or just stats pages.
Finding the Actual Lineup
After clicking around for a minute or two, I landed on a couple of sports sites – the usual suspects – that seemed up-to-date. Looked like they were pulling info pretty close to game time or based on recent patterns. It’s not always 100% the same every night because of injuries or matchups, but you get the general picture.
Here’s the core group I kept seeing listed as the typical starters when everyone’s healthy:
- Tyrese Maxey at Point Guard. Makes sense, he’s been handling the ball a lot.
- Kyle Lowry often listed as the other Guard, bringing that veteran presence. Sometimes you might see someone else depending on the night.
- Kelly Oubre Jr. usually slotting in at Forward. He gives them some energy.
- Tobias Harris is the other Forward, a regular fixture there for a while now.
- Joel Embiid at Center. Obviously, when he’s playing, he’s starting. The big man.
My Quick Thoughts
Seeing it laid out like that, it clicks. You got Maxey pushing the pace, Lowry calming things down, Oubre doing his thing, Harris being solid, and Embiid anchoring it all. It feels like a decent mix on paper.
It wasn’t exactly rocket science to find this, just took a few minutes of poking around online. It’s good to just confirm what you think you know sometimes. Now I feel a bit more clued in when I catch their next game or see the scores pop up. That was my little project for the moment, just getting the facts straight for myself.
