There’s plenty of intrigue between the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers lately.
With Toronto currently holding the No. 5 seed and the Sixers in the No. 4 seed, the two teams may be revisiting their playoff matchup from three years ago — albeit, with plenty of different faces on either side. In tonight’s game, we get a chance to at least scratch the surface of what a playoff matchup will look like — though both teams are likely to keep their cards close to their chest.
One bit of juicy information coming out yesterday is that Matisse Thybulle, who’s likely the primary defender on Pascal Siakam (or whoever is terrorizing Philadelphia on that given day) is “ineligible to play” north of the border, indicating he hasn’t been vaccinated and won’t abide by Canada’s federal travel regulations for games at Scotiabank Arena.
