Tonight’s Sixers Game Could Be in Jeopardy Due to Wet Floor Issues
By Jim Adair
Published:
Joel Embiid’s minutes restriction got bumped up to 28 minutes and the whole arena got wet about it.
According to multiple in-arena reports, there is a problem at the Wells Fargo Center. Water is on the court, and they’re trying to dry it, but it’s not stopping.

Hearing condensation issues on the floor in Philly due to irregularly high exterior temperatures. Game is in question. Will know more soon.

Refs checking the floor. Water seeping through from the ice in spots.

Mood and towels all over the floor now. Water keeps coming through, apparently. Hearing it's not condensation.

Reports say that the game could be delayed, postponed, or cancelled. If there is a single wet spot on that floor tonight, and they play, they better wrap Joel Embiid in bubble wrap.
UPDATE: We have a delay.
Kings/76ers game is being delayed for an undetermined amount of time due to condensation on the floor.
