Apr 3, 2025; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia 76ers guard Lonnie Walker IV (16) controls the ball against the Milwaukee Bucks in the third quarter at Wells Fargo Center. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Give Lonnie Walker IV credit for repeatedly looking for a positive in an otherwise negative season for the Philadelphia 76ers.
With losses in 12 games in a row and in 27 of their past 30, the 76ers (23-56) will attempt to stop the skid on Wednesday night when they visit the Wizards (17-62) in Washington, D.C.
“We just want to finish the season as strong as we can,” Walker said, per The Philadelphia Inquirer. “There’s really no rhyme or reason of what we are doing and things of that nature as far as like, ‘Do we want to lose?’ No. You know, we’re all coming in every day with the intent to win.
“Everyone is still approaching the next day like we’ve still got 82 games left.”
Thankfully, the 76ers have just three games remaining — and Wednesday’s contest will mark their final road contest. They’ll wrap up the season at home against the Atlanta Hawks (Friday) and Chicago Bulls (Sunday).
“We’ve got a great group of guys who are consistently putting in work until we don’t have any time left,” Walker said. “I think we’re treating every day and every game like it’s our last game.”
Walker matched a career high with six 3-pointers and joined Quentin Grimes in scoring 29 points apiece on Monday in the 76ers’ 117-105 setback to the Miami Heat.
Grimes has averaged 26.8 points in four games this month but is listed as questionable against the Wizards because of back soreness.
Rookie Adem Bona collected 16 points and 11 rebounds for the 76ers on Monday.
“The results are not going our way,” he said, per The Inquirer. “It doesn’t mean we are not trying. But we are giving our best out there and building toward next year.”
Included in Philadelphia’s 12-game losing streak is a 119-114 setback at home to Washington on March 26. The Wizards scored 45 points in the first quarter in that game en route to evening the season series at one victory apiece.
Like the 76ers, Washington is straining to see the positives this season — but there are a few.
The Eastern Conference cellar-dwelling Wizards lost their third straight game and 11th in the last 13 outings with a 104-98 setback to the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday.
Justin Champagnie recorded 20 points and 13 rebounds and rookie Alex Sarr had 20 and 12, respectively.
Sarr, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, made his thoughts known that his name should be included when discussing potential Rookie of the Year candidates.
“I definitely belong in that conversation,” the 19-year-old told The Washington Post. “That’s not up to me. Everything is out there: the games and the stats. We’ll see what happens at the end. I’ve been constantly improving through the season, and I’m finishing out strong, trying to keep building that momentum.”
Sarr averaged a robust 16.4 points per game last month. Included in that stretch was a 24-point performance on 10-of-17 shooting from the floor — and 4-of-7 from 3-point range — against Philadelphia on March 26.

Cruzeiro e Vasco fazem duelo de SAFs em reformulação e com diferença de gastos que não se vê na tabela
O Vasco visita o Cruzeiro às 16h em Uberlândia no duelo entre duas SAFs em reestruturação. Apesar do modelo de gestão distinto e de uma política de gastos bem diferente para a formação de equipes competitivas, os dois clubes amargam o meio da tabela do Brasileirão e sofrem com críticas de suas torcidas. Depois de o Vasco pedir recuperação judicial para aliviar as despesas para administrar a SAF — há um ano o clube está sob controle do associativo e do presidente Pedrinho, ainda sob liminar da Justiça do Rio contra a 777 Partners — a direção investiu de forma controlada em reforços, que somados aos atletas mais caros que já estavam no clube tentam cumprir bom papel. Hoje o time ocupa a nona posição. Foram 7,5 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 45 milhões) gastos pela diretoria até abril, […]

Noční děkovačka mistrů! Na fotbalisty Slavie čekaly v noci u Edenu stovky fanoušků
Když před nedělní druhou hodinou ranní vystoupili Chorý a spol. z vlaku na zastávce u Edenu, mohli nabýt dojmu, že Praha právě slaví příchod nového roku. Oblohu i podchod od stanice ke stadionu ozařovaly světlice.Příznivci vytvořili hráčům a realizačnímu týmu tradiční uličku slávy, se svými hrdiny si plácali a skandovali jejich jména. Vystřihli několikrát také oslavný chorál vítězů „Tak jsme první no a co“.Než slávisté vklouzli do stadionu, kapitán Jan Bořil, obklopený fanoušky, vedl známou pozápasovou děkovačku. Příznivci po ní ještě pár minut vyvolávali jména čerstvých mistrů, kteří v té chvíli už pokračovali v mistrovských oslavách v útrobách Edenu. Vítězný pohár dostanou slávisté po závěrečném duelu nadstavby, po domácím utkání s Baníkem Ostrava (v sobotu 24. května). Mistrovské oslavy zažívají červenobílí po čtyřech letech.
2025 NBA playoffs: How the Warriors stepped up to take Game 3 without Jimmy Butler
SAN FRANCISCO — Game 3 of the Golden State Warriors' first-round series with the Houston Rockets on Saturday was nothing short of a slugfest. They took part in a physical battle all night with bodies hitting the floor from the opening tip through the final buzzer.Missing Jimmy Butler, the Warriors relied on their depth and defense, while the Rockets couldn't contain Stephen Curry or buy a bucket late in the contest. By night's end, one team's poise and a familiar superstar's brilliance proved to be the difference as Golden State secured a 104-93 victory and a 2-1 series lead.Another 'Stephortless' performanceCurry did that thing where he takes over a game in its most pivotal moments — hitting dagger 3s, converting crafty layups and exploiting any mismatch on a big.Game 3 was no different. While both teams had their struggles early […]
Cardinals 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: Building a dominant D one pick at a time
General manager Monti Ossenfort insisted the Arizona Cardinals didn’t enter the NFL Draft with intentions to load up on defense — that’s just how their board fell. That might be the case, but the results don’t lie. Over the last three days, Arizona positioned itself for an immediate defensive upgrade.AdvertisementThrough five rounds, it was almost as if no other needs mattered. Offensive line? Not this early. Wide receiver? Not this weekend. The Cardinals selected Ole Miss defensive tackle Walter Nolen at 16. “Come out here and get after the quarterback,” Ossenfort told him on the phone.) They took Michigan corner Will Johnson at 47. (“Come help us win some games,” head coach Jonathan Gannon told him.)In the third round, the Cardinals took Oregon edge rusher Jordan Burch. In the fourth, Ohio State linebacker Cody Simon. In the fifth, Ohio State […]
