Hey, guys, I’m back! Today, I’m diving into something that I’ve been working on recently, and I think some of you, especially the basketball fans, might find it pretty interesting. I’m talking about creating a system to track the Philadelphia 76ers injury report. Yes, you heard it right!

Getting Started
So, first things first, I needed to figure out where to get the most up-to-date and reliable information on player injuries. After doing a bit of digging, I found that the NBA’s official reports and some reputable sports news sites like ESPN are the way to go. They always have the latest scoop on who’s in and who’s out. They update the injury news very often.
Collecting the Data
Once I knew where to look, I started gathering data. It wasn’t just about noting down who was injured. I wanted details! So I started to put down the date of the injury, the type of injury, and any news on the player’s recovery. The first one I wrote down was Joel Embiid. He got a right sinus fracture. It’s a pity that the 2023 league MVP got hurt. I’m a big fan of him!
Organizing the Information
With all this data, I needed a way to organize it. I created a simple spreadsheet – nothing too fancy, but it gets the job done. I made columns for the player’s name, injury type, date of the injury, and any additional notes. The spreadsheet method is really convenient for me to keep tracking the injury information.
Keeping it Current
Now, this is where it gets a bit tricky. Injury reports change fast. One day a player might be listed as ‘day-to-day,’ and the next, they could be out for weeks. So, I made it a habit to check the injury reports every day. I set a reminder to check the reports before each game day. By 5 p.m. local time on the day before a game. This way, I was always on top of the latest changes.
Sharing the Updates
I thought, “Why keep all this to myself?” So, I started sharing these updates with my friends who are also Sixers fans. They loved it! It became a regular thing, and honestly, it made watching the games even more interesting because we knew what was going on behind the scenes.

Making Predictions
Based on the injury reports, I even started making predictions about upcoming games. It wasn’t always accurate, but it was a fun way to engage more with the sport. For example, the 76ers will take on the Celtics in a Christmas Day, and the last time they played was on October 12. Will Joel Embiid play in the Christmas game? Let’s wait and see!
Final Thoughts
This whole process has been quite a journey. It’s not just about tracking injuries; it’s about getting closer to the game and understanding the challenges these players face. Plus, it’s a great way to connect with other fans. The team has won three National Basketball Association championships (1955, 1967, and 1983) and has advanced to the NBA finals on nine occasions. I hope they can get more in the future!
So, that’s my story on tracking the Philadelphia 76ers injury report. It’s been a fun and insightful experience. If you’re a basketball fan, I highly recommend giving it a try. You might be surprised at how much more you get into the game!
