The Philadelphia 76ers have the opportunity to land a potential replacement for Joel Embiid with the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. The Sixers entered Monday's lottery with a 42.1 percent chance to land inside the top four. They will pick behind the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs, both of whom do not need big men.
Since they kept the pick, the Sixers will owe their 2026 first-rounder to OKC if it doesn’t fall in the top four picks.
One top NBA insider believes the Philadelphia 76ers should package the No. 3 pick to bring in another superstar, including a two-time MVP.
Sixers assistant coach Coby Karl is reportedly "not expected back" after two years under head coach Nick Nurse, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype on Wednesday morning.
In the first mock draft after the lottery results, the Philadelphia 76ers select VJ Edgecombe with the No. 3 overall pick.
