According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Sixers and Knicks will meet in one of the five Christmas Day matchups.
The NBA’s five-game bonanza has become a Christmas tradition, and the reigning champion Warriors will reportedly be among the 10 teams in action.
According to Shams’ report, Golden State will host Memphis in the final game of the day, a rematch of the Western Conference Finals.
Also reportedly on the schedule are Bucks/Celtics, 76ers/Knicks, Suns/Nuggets, and Lakers/Mavericks.
The top 11 vote-getters for last season’s MVP will be in action, led by Denver’s Nikola Jokic and the Sixers Joel Embiid.
