Fans of the Philadelphia 76ers are getting excited to get back to watching their team chase their championship in the Orlando restart. However, there is one question in this COVID-19 era for fans and that is how do they watch the games?
Well, NBC Sports Philadelphia has everything covered. The Sixers schedule–which officially starts August 1, but scrimmage games begin on July 24–will be broadcast on the local Philadelphia television station. The only exclusion is the matchup with the Toronto Raptors on August 12 which will be broadcast on ESPN.
This will give fans their first look at Ben Simmons playing power forward next to Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris on the frontline. This also means Shake Milton moving into the lineup and Al Horford going to the bench.
NBC Sports Philadelphia just announced their upcoming broadcast schedule — all eight games from the Sixers' restart (plus previously announced scrimmages) can be watched or streamed
