The 2016–17 Philadelphia 76ers season is the 78th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The 16'-17' season was the rookie season for number 1 overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft Ben Simmons, but a broken foot injury would cost him three or four months of this season. However, Joel Embiid, who was previously drafted 3rd in the 2014 draft, will play in his first season after suffering multiple foot injuries. Also, it was the first season of draft and stash prospect Dario Šarić, who was taken in the 2014 NBA draft. The 2016 season was also the first time in three years the Sixers made a splash in NBA free agency by adding guards Jerryd Bayless, Sergio Rodríguez and veteran Gerald Henderson Jr. to the team.

For the last three season the Sixers had not had a Nationally Televised game. The last being in February 2013 when a game vs the Chicago Bulls was broadcast on ESPN.
During the 2016-17 campaign the 76ers have three Nationally Televised games, with the home and season opener on October 26 against the OKC Thunder and December 18th vs the LA Lakers on ESPN. And a November 17 matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves on TNT.
Uniforms
On September 15 the Sixers announced they will wear special uniforms for Saturday games to honor the 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers Championship team. The jerseys have a "throwback" style with PHILA on the chest of the jersey and on the shorts there is an insignia of the Liberty Bell with the 76ers logo established in the center with the words "World Championships; 1966 1967".[1]
