Philadelphia 76ers 2021-22 NBA Schedule: Key Fixtures Against Bucks, Lakers and Others

It was the ultimate heartbreak for the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2020-21 season. After a roller-coaster campaign, the side fell prey to the Atlanta Hawks in a nail-biting series. Falling just short of the Conference Finals mark, Joel Embiid and co. will have been extremely upset at their performance. On the other hand, the upcoming edition of the league provides hope for the franchise.

After an action-packed off-season, the Sixers have begun their pre-season campaign. The entire Ben Simmons saga has hogged the limelight for a while now, but the squad needs to refresh itself as soon as possible. After all, their fixtures for the 2021-22 season do not make things any easier for them. Let’s take a look at how the Philadelphia 76ers‘ regular season is set to unfold in the league’s 76th edition.

What does Philadelphia’s season ahead look like?

The Sixers are set to kickoff their campaign on the 20th of October away from home. Following their pre-season clashes, they will face the New Orleans Pelicans in their opening fixture. Two days later, they will play hosts to title-favorites Brooklyn Nets. Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris headline the 76ers attack this year, with the others looking to bridge the gap of Simmons’ absence. In November, Doc Rivers’ men will be up against the likes of defending champions Milwaukee Bucks and Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors.
