The Philadelphia 76ers on Friday are playing their preseason finale in Kansas City, serving as the host team against the Miami Heat.
The city hasn’t been the home of an NBA franchise since the Kings moved to Sacramento for the 1985-86 season, but a former 76ers player once made some big-time noise there that likely hasn’t been forgotten.
In a game against the Kings on Nov. 13, 1979, Darryl Dawkins broke the backboard with a dunk that sent forward Bill Robinzine looking for cover.
The @Sixers pre-season finale is tonight in Kansas City.
