The Eagles are 10-1.  The team is playing some of their best football since the 2022 season.  We have some major players on injured reserve, but players are stepping up and getting the job done.  We are approaching the second half of the season and the team must continue to play together without any major injuries.

The Philadelphia 76’ers are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 12-6.  However, the team was eliminated from the NBA Play-In Tournament after losing three straight games at home.  The 76’ers will continue to play, and hopefully they will improve their record to make it into post season and maybe a championship.  Embiid and Maxey are holding it down, putting up thirty plus points each with back up support from Tobias, Oubre Jr., Melton, Beverly, Reed, Batum, Covington, House, Springer and home grown, newly acquired Marcus Morris Sr.
