The Sixers did not advance out of group play in the first two editions of the NBA Cup, which was originally known as the In-Season Tournament. Overall, they went 5-10 last year against the teams in their 2025-26 Cup group:
2-2 vs. Nets
1-2 vs. Pistons
1-3 vs. Celtics
1-3 vs. Magic
The team’s roster now includes former Net Trendon Watford, a close friend of Tyrese Maxey’s who’s expected to play a significant, versatile role.
All six group winners and two “wild cards” — the best non-group winners in each conference — will make the quarterfinals. The Cup will conclude in Las Vegas, where the semifinals (Dec. 13) and championship game (Dec. 16) will be played. The quarterfinals are scheduled for Dec. 9 and Dec. 10.
On Thursday, the NBA will announce its complete 2025-26 schedule.
