Nine of tonight’s 10 starters are the same as in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on June 20. The lone exception is Tyrese Maxey in place of Ben Simmons, who remains out for “personal reasons.” #Sixers #Hawks – 7:34 PM

#Hawks coach Nate McMillan: ‘Yes, they’re a little different (without Simmons), but they’re going to keep playing through Embiid. Curry is going to get (plenty of outside looks).’ – 6:07 PM

No change to the starting lineup tonight for the Sixers. Rivers says that Shake Milton, who made his debut on Thursday and is still on a minutes limit, isn’t yet at a fitness level where they’d consider starting him. Maxey will start the game off defending Trae Young. – 6:04 PM

#Sixers coach Doc Rivers considered starting Milton on Thursday but he’s still on a minutes limit so it’s too soon. Planning to start Maxey on the #Hawks’ Trae Young tonight. – 5:58 PM

Doc Rivers says Shake Milton is on a minutes limit as he comes back from a right ankle sprain, putting him out of consideration for potentially starting for now. – 5:57 PM

Sounds like Maxey will remain in the starting lineup again tonight and Rivers expects him to guard Trae Young. “That’ll be fun” – 5:57 PM

The 76ers are wearing “Salvy Strong” shirts tonight.
The shirts honor Sal Messina, a 19-year-old team attendant for the @Philadelphia 76ers who’s battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
Sal is determined to give back:
“I want to help others in my position the way that those around me have help me.” – 5:51 PM
