Meek Mill, to be freed from prison, plans to attend Tuesday's Sixers-Heat playoff game

Rapper Meek Mill plans attend Tuesday night’s Philadelphia 76ers playoff game, according to a spokesman for Michael Rubin, a minority owner of the team who has been among the imprisoned rapper’s biggest supporters.

Ron Berkowitz, an aide to Rubin, said in a telephone interview Tuesday afternoon that “the plan is to bring [Mill] to the game.” The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered Mill — incarcerated since November — immediately released on bail, citing city prosecutors’ position that the rapper is entitled to a new trial for his decade-old conviction and their lack of opposition to his release on bail.
