All eyes are on Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, with everyone following the league wanting to know if Ben Simmons will still be playing Call of Duty in Moorestown, NJ at the end of the week. In the meantime, however, the Philadelphia 76ers have one more game to play before possibly altering the future trajectory of the franchise. It’s a very tough test, too, as the Phoenix Suns come to town with an NBA-best record of 43-10. Aside from home-court advantage, though, the Sixers will also benefit from the Suns playing in Chicago last night, 1 127-124 Phoenix victory.
There’s every reason to believe the Suns will be making a strong push to return to the NBA Finals.
