Sixers Celtics Snubbed from Big Nights | Philadelphia 76ers News

The NBA just dropped the new schedule, and while most games look solid, there’s a major snub: the Celtics and Sixers — two historic rivals with a fiery past — won’t face off on any of the league’s biggest showcase nights. Despite playing five regular-season games and a couple preseason matchups, their epic showdowns are being relegated to the sidelines. This twist follows last year’s brutal playoff collapse for Boston, where they blew a 3-0 lead to Philly, sparking trade rumors that culminated in Jaylen Brown’s shocking move to Philadelphia. Brown, who carried the Celtics to 56 wins and a second seed after Tatum’s injury — even finishing sixth in MVP voting — felt betrayed by the front office and traded for Paul George and picks. Now, without Brown, Boston still looks loaded with Tatum, George, and Robinson, poised to be Eastern Conference contenders. Meanwhile, Philly, armed with a stacked roster, gets to avoid the spotlight — leaving fans wondering why the league passed up one of the most compelling rivalries in sports for prime-time TV.
