The NBA announced the times and TV information for the first four games of the Eastern Conference semifinal round between the Sixers and the Celtics.
The series begins Monday in Boston. Game 1 tips at 8 p.m. on TNT. Game 2 is an even later start, tipping at 8:30 p.m., also on TNT.
Game 3 brings the teams back to Philadelphia for a 5 p.m. start on Saturday, which means halftime might coincide with the running of the 144th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.
Celtics coach Brad Stevens said Sunday that Jaylen Brown would likely miss Game 1 of this second-round series due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the Celtics’ series-clinching Game 7 against Milwaukee on Saturday.
