2024–25 Philadelphia 76ers season

The 2024–25 campaign represented the Philadelphia 76ers' 76th year competing in the NBA and marked the inaugural season featuring Paul George on their roster.

A defeat against the Brooklyn Nets on February 22 confirmed that the team would not surpass their previous year's win-loss record. Following a loss to the Atlanta Hawks on March 10, the franchise was guaranteed its first sub-.500 season since 2017. On March 13, general manager Daryl Morey revealed during Pablo S. Torre's podcast that artificial intelligence (AI) tools were utilized to guide significant organizational decisions throughout the year. This approach drew criticism from several current and former NBA athletes, including a former player from the Sixers, who expressed concerns about depending on AI in basketball operations.

The team’s playoff hopes were officially dashed on March 29 after losing to the Miami Heat, ending their consecutive postseason appearances that had started in 2017.

Entering the two-day 2024 NBA draft, Philadelphia held a first-round selection along with a second-round pick obtained from the Chicago Bulls. The franchise forfeited its own second-round draft choices for both 2023 and 2024 as a consequence of tampering infractions. Utilizing their first-round pick, they selected point guard Jared McCain from Duke University. On draft day two, they chose center Adem Bona, who holds Nigerian and Turkish nationality and has professional experience in Turkey’s Basketbol Süper Ligi, from UCLA.
