It’s been a while, but today’s the day. The New York Knicks will grace a hardwood court this evening in downtown Philadelphia to face the Sixers in the return of both teams to competition following the All-Star break.
Both sides enter this contest limping, mind you, with the hosts missing their best player in Joel Embiid and the visitors still waiting for the return of three of their starters—Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson.
The Knicks held back-to-back practices on Tuesday and Wednesday with coach Tom Thibodeau offering some insights and announcing the comeback of DiVo, iHart, and Bogey for Thursday’s matchup.
