If you’re from Philadelphia and are a Philadelphia 76ers fan, give a standing ovation to the team returning for the 2020-21 NBA pre-season.
Last season it wasn’t a surprise Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid couldn’t get over the hump after the Boston Celtics swept them in the first-round of the NBA Playoffs last season.
“NBC Sports Philadelphia will present live coverage of both 76ers’ preseason games, beginning Dec. 15, at 7:30 p.m. against the Boston Celtics, and 34 of 37 regular-season games covering the first half of the regular season announced by the NBA, which the 76ers tip off on Dec. 23 against the Washington Wizards at 7 p.m. Live-game coverage will again be led by play-by-play announcer Marc Zumoff – who is entering his 27th season in this role – and analyst Alaa Abdelnaby, a former 76ers player and five-year NBA veteran entering his sixth season with NBC Sports Philadelphia,” per NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Although their first match comes against a dominant Jason Tatum, fans will be excited to watch this anticipated battle from home.
