Quentin Grimes’ 3-word message after win over Wizards gives 4-0 vibes
After entering the 2025-26 NBA season the biggest wildcard in the Eastern Conferencethe Philadelphia 76ers were one of the real bright spots of October, winning all four of their games, including a sweep of the Washington Wizards en route to maintaining their perfect marks.
Came back from a double-digit deficit late in the game to avoid overtime with a beautiful outside shot Quentin Grimes, Tirese McKay, VJ Edgecombe and company were able to take care of business in overtime to maintain their perfect record, which is made all the more impressive given that Joel Embiid is still without a minutes limit.
On social media after posting a 23-point, seven-rebound performance in 39 minutes of action at Capital One Arena, Grimes took to social media to celebrate the win, confirming to fans that spirits are high with Nick Nurse’s squad.
“The vibrations are flawlessGrimes wrote.
Battling through a contentious summer of negotiations that cost Philly Gershon Yabusule, with the former Dallas Mavericks guard signing his restricted qualifying free agent offer instead of a long-term, variable deal, Grimes returned to Philly with a serious chip on his shoulder and a desire to prove he was worth a deal instead of a nine-figure contract. After struggling on opening night against Boston, Grimes largely did just that, averaging 20.3 points, 3.3 assists and five rebounds a night off the bench.
Are the 76ers still a complete product? No, they’re still waiting for Jared McCain, Paul George and Dominic Barlow to return from injury and for Embiid to be cleared to play indefinitely, but even if Darley Morey is active around the deadline in search of another promising forward, that doesn’t mean this current team isn’t doing everything in their power to prove their doubters wrong. Why? Because they play for each other, they play with an energy, and most importantly, a vibe that hasn’t felt like the case in South Philly in quite some time.
