NBA Schedule Shake-Up for 76ers as Make-Up Games Revealed
The National Basketball Association (NBA) has confirmed the addition of two new games to the Philadelphia 76ers' schedule, filling out their regular-season slate following a disappointing exit from the NBA Cup Knockout Rounds. The 82-game season is now complete, with the Sixers getting their two extra matches against the Indiana Pacers on December 12 and the Atlanta Hawks on December 14.
This move allows the 76ers to have a relatively short stretch of games in late December, only 11 days after one another, which might provide an opportunity for the team to recharge if needed. The NBA's decision to leave a considerable chunk of December unscheduled was likely made to accommodate teams that did not qualify for the Knockout Rounds, with all participating teams originally set for 80 regular-season games.
The schedule update comes ahead of the highly anticipated matchup between the Sixers and the Los Angeles Lakers on December 7. While details surrounding the make-up games have been released, fans will be eagerly awaiting further news about the team's prospects in the coming season.
