We’re less than a week away from the Boston Celtics’ preseason opener against the Philadelphia 76ers. This game looked as if it’d be a nice test for a new-look Celtics team when the NBA schedule dropped back in August. Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George all make the Sixers a formidable foe when they’re healthy.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, that won’t be the case come opening night.
