NBA professional basketball team season
NBA professional basketball team season
The 2016–17 Philadelphia 76ers seasonNational Basketball Association (NBA).
The team improved 18 games after finishing with a league worst 10 wins in 2016. The season would have been the rookie season for number one overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft Ben Simmons , but a broken foot injury sidelined him for the whole season. It would be the team's fourth straight season where a top prospect of theirs would be sidelined for an entire season due to an injury (the 76ers previously dealt with former center Nerlens Noel being out in the 2013–14 NBA season and Joel Embiid being out for two straight seasons before this one). However, Embiid , who was previously drafted 3rd in the 2014 draft, played in his first season after suffering multiple foot injuries before later being out for the rest of the season after playing a promising 31 games throughout the season. Also, it was the first season of draft and stash prospect Dario Šarić , who was also taken in the 2014 NBA draft . The 2016 season was also the first time in three years the Sixers made a splash in NBA free agency by adding guards Jerryd Bayless , Sergio Rodríguez and veteran Gerald Henderson Jr. to the team.

National TV [ edit ] For the last three seasons the Sixers had not had a nationally televised game. The last being in February 2013 when a game vs the Chicago Bulls was broadcast on ESPN .
During the 2016–17 campaign the 76ers have three nationally televised games, with the home and season opener on October 26 against the OKC Thunder and December 16 vs the LA Lakers on ESPN . And a November 17 matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves on TNT .
Uniforms [ edit ] On September 15 the Sixers announced they will wear special uniforms for Saturday games to honor the 1966–67 Philadelphia 76ers Championship team . The jerseys have a "throwback" style with PHILA on the chest of the jersey and on the shorts there is an insignia of the Liberty Bell with the 76ers logo established in the center with the words "World Championships; 1966 1967".[5]
