Can the Sixers’ Guard Play Unlock a Surprising Edge This Season?

Though their most important player is 7 feet tall, the 2025-26 Sixers plan to lean into guard play.
The Sixers hope Joel Embiid is healthy enough to play and to star. They also expect to feature small, skilled and fast lineups.
At Friday’s media day, Sixers head coach Nick Nurse highlighted the team’s ability to play a variety of guard combinations, including three-guard units and “maybe a four-guard rotation at times.”
Some waiting will be required before Nurse can test all of his guard experiments.
