The Sixers announced their schedule for the 2022-23 NBA season
The team will open against the Celtics, but when will Ben Simmons return to South Philly?
The full schedule for the 2022-23 Sixers season has been announced.
The team will open the regular season on Oct. 18 against the Celtics as part of NBA’s opening night. In another marquee game, the team will travel to Madison Square Garden on Christmas Day to face the Knicks at noon.
But perhaps the date everyone has been waiting for is Ben Simmons’ potential return to the Wells Fargo Center court — his Nets did play a game in Philly after the trade, but Simmons was relegated to the sideline with a nagging back injury. While the Sixers will pay a visit to Brooklyn during the preseason, fans will have to wait until Nov. 22 to get a glimpse of Simmons in South Philly, a game that will be nationally televised on TNT.
