The Philadelphia 76ers have arrived in Boston, Massachusetts to face off against the Celtics. This will open up the season for the Sixers and Celtics, and they look to get off on the right foot with a win. Last season the Sixers year began with 17 straight losses, so that would be an immediate improvement if they were to escape the game with a win.
Injuries have been the story for the Sixers so far, but they look to ignore that and get on with what they have. The Sixers have several injured players, enough to apply for an extra player in fact through the hardship clause that the NBA has in place.
