Boston Celtics

With Jared McCain and Adem Bona done for the day at halftime and Ricky Council IV out for the whole game, David Jones and Jordan Tucker took over in the second half to close out the Sixers' summer league circuit with a 103-98 victory over the Boston Celtics.

Joel Embiid and Nico Batum were heroic in the second half as the Sixers battled back from a double-digit deficit to beat the Heat, 105-104.

The Sixers have no choice but to face demons in the 2024 postseason. They will face one on Wednesday when the Miami Heat come to Philadelphia in a Play-In game for the right to battle the New York Knicks in the first round of the 2024 playoffs.

Memory might distort truth, but numbers don't lie.

What the Sixers are experiencing may not be unprecedented, but that doesn't make it any less...awkward? Weird? Bizarre? Is there even a good word to describe the twists and turns of their season?

Tobias Harris scored 28 points, Tyrese Maxey added 24, and the Sixers outlasted the Mavericks on the road, 120-116.

The Sixers hung tough, but fell victim to two extended Boston runs in a 117-99 loss.

The Sixers lacked patience and approach on offense in a blowout loss at the hands of the Bucks, 119-98.

The deal wipes Springer's salary off the books for next season, making Joel Embiid the only player on the current roster guaranteed to be under contract heading into the summer of 2024.

A clearly injured Joel Embiid did what he could through three-and-a-half quarters, only to leave with a knee injury in the fourth quarter as the Sixers fell, 119-107.
