The 2016-17 Philadelphia 76ers season marked the team’s continued rebuild under head coach Brett Brown. The Sixers finished with a 28-54 record, showing improvement from previous years but still missing the playoffs. Joel Embiid emerged as a potential franchise cornerstone, despite being limited to 31 games due to injury. He averaged 20.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game, providing a glimpse of his impact when healthy.
The season also saw the debut of Dario Šarić, who played a crucial role and finished second in Rookie of the Year voting. The team continued to develop its young core amidst “The Process,” a strategy focused on long-term success by accumulating high draft picks. Although the 76ers struggled in the standings, the season set the foundation for future growth, with fans eagerly anticipating the return of Ben Simmons, who missed the entire season due to injury.
- Regular Season Record: 28-54
