The Philadelphia 76ers will lose one key advantage in Walt Disney World.
At this point, the NBA’s return seems inevitable. The timeline is still in flux, but at some point, the 2019-20 season is likely to resume in Orlando on the Walt Disney World campus. This is mostly good news. Basketball!
For the Philadelphia 76ers, however, such circumstances are not ideal (beyond the obvious misfortune of the coronavirus pandemic at large). If the season resumes in Orlando, the Sixers will lose arguably their biggest advantage in a potential championship pursuit — the home crowd.
