Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers have to be ecstatic with the results of the NBA Draft Lottery. While many people were expecting the 76ers to be within the top seven, they managed to land at No.

After keeping their pick in 2025, one has to wonder what the Philadelphia 76ers now owe the Oklahoma City Thunder in terms of picks.

The Philadelphia 76ers were awarded the third pick in the NBA Draft lottery a few hours ago. The team had just the fifth-best odds at the number one pick and were in danger of losing the pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder if it dropped below pick number six.

The Philadelphia 76ers didn't have the ideal 2024-25 NBA season with their Big 3 of Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey. The star trio experienced a plethora of injuries that held them back from reaching their full potential.

After the Dallas Mavericks beat the odds to land the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft Lottery, intense speculation quickly followed. Many believed teams like the San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers, or Charlotte Hornets were more likely to come away with the top selection.

Cooper Flagg is starting to settle into his new reality. The former Duke star has been considered the presumptive No. 1 pick in next month's NBA draft for some time and now knows that pick is held by the Dallas Mavericks — winners of the draft lottery earlier this week.
