CELTICS-SIXERS SET FOR LONDON

By Mark Woods on July 12, 2017

The Boston Celtics will play the Philadelphia 76ers in London next January 11.

The trans-Atlantic trip, as first revealed by the Boston Herald, would bring two of the NBA’s hottest teams to the UK for the now-annual regular season contest at The 02.

It would, officially, be a home game for the Sixers who include several of the league’s youngest stars including Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid.

The Celtics last came to London ten years ago for a pre-season game against Minnesota.

The full NBA schedule is set to be announced next month.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
