The Celtics will close out their preseason slate with a rematch against the 76ers on Friday night.
Boston defeated Philadelphia last week, 144-106, behind strong performances from Jayson Tatum and Payton Pritchard. However, Sixers stars Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid and LeBron James didn't suit up for that game.
Philly coach Nick Nurse has indicated that he would like to not only see his starters on the floor together this time around, but also send them out for additional minutes in the second half.
