The NBA is set to resume the 2019-20 season down in Orlando which means the Philadelphia 76ers will be able to continue their run at an NBA title that they so desperately crave. For fans of the team, they will not be able to attend the games live due to the coronavirus pandemic, but there is a way for them to consume their basketball.
NBC Sports Philadelphia, the local television broadcaster for the Sixers all season, announced on Wednesday that they are going to broadcast all three of the team’s scrimmage games. Their first game is July 24 against the Memphis Grizzlies followed by games against the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Dallas Mavericks.
Guess what???

These games will give the Sixers their first look at Ben Simmons at the power forward spot for them as they try a new lineup configuration. This gives coach Brett Brown his time to figure out how to best work the lineup before the seeding games begin on August 1 against the Indiana Pacers. [lawrence-related id=34698,34681,34690]
