The 76ers had a strong second half to their season, and once they were fully healthy, they were able to showcase their talent, taking down the Celtics in the first round.
They were swept in the following round by the Knicks, showing that they still have major strides to make if they want to return as a contender in the East.
With their season over, they are looking ahead to the 2026-27 season and have identified some of the issues they need to address this summer.
