Sixers BASKETBALL news:

The Sixers play the Celtics tonight, and the 2:30 p.m. report shows that Shake Milton, Georges Niang, and Andre Drummond remain in COVID protocol. Tyrese Maxey is questionable with a quad contusion (they really hurt). Furkan Korkmaz is out with non-COVID illness, Joel Embiid and Danny Green are questionable with ankle and hip issues, respectively, and Jaden Springer has a concussion. Paul Reed was recalled along with Aaron Henry and a new guy, Myles Powell.

Johnson is an NBA vet and played on that Miami team the Sixers beat in the playoffs a few years ago. He’s a career 10 point/two assist guy who shoots 36% from three. 10-day contract for the 29 year old.
