The Sixers offer 2,000 seats to limit the presence of Knicks fans

The Sixers no longer want to hear or see New York fans in their gym! In any case, they want to limit their influence while during the matches in Philadelphia, the Knicks supporters were vocal, surpassing those of the Sixers, even though they were at home. Which did not fail to annoy Joel Embiid.

“I’ve never seen this and I’ve been here ten years. Yes, it annoys me a little.” the pivot had thus confessed. “Especially because Philly is considered a sports town. The fans have always been there and I don't think that should happen. It's not acceptable. »

After a Game 5 won in New York, the team led by Nick Nurse will play a home game again. And the franchise is doing everything it can to keep itself alive, in front of an audience, if possible, 100% Sixers.

Rewarding caregivers and the community

The co-owners therefore decided to purchase 2,000 seats for the next match. Josh Harris, David Blitzer, David Adelman and Michael Rubin explained that they were going to offer his places ” to emergency physicians, medical personnel, associations and local organizations in Philadelphia.” “Once we are sure they are Sixers fans and not impostors” joked Michael Rubin on X/Twitter.

The objective is to reward this staff and “ to increase intensity and excitement » around tonight's match, which could be the last of the season since the Sixers are trailing 3-2.

While preventing Knicks fans from being able to transform the Wells Fargo Center into Madison Square Garden.
