Sixers NBA Cup group revealed for next season.
On Friday night, the league announced the groupings for the now NBA Cup. The Sixers find themselves in East Group A. Paired with them is the Orlando Magic, New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets, and Charlotte Hornets.
Starting in mid-November, the Sixers will face each team in their group once. Depending on their record, they have a chance to travel to Las Vegas and partake in the knockout round. Starting November 12, all 30 teams will compete for the NBA Cup with 8 teams advancing out of groups into the knockout rounds, with the semifinals and championship held in Las Vegas, December 14 and 17!Last season, the Sixers were group with the Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Indiana Pacers. They ended up going .500 in these games, which was not good enough to advance to the next round.
The most notable squad in the Sixers’ group next season is the Knicks. These division rivals will be doing battle again after their thrilling first-round matchup in last year’s postseason. Things should be even more interesting after both squads made big upgrades in the offseason. Following their big splash in free agency in signing Paul George, the Sixers have their sights set on competing for a championship. That said, the NBA Cup could be a nice early-season test for them. If they’re able to perform well, the new-look squad will send a strong message to the rest of the league.Kevin McCormick covers the Philadelphia 76ers FanNation's All76ers.
