We’ve got times.

It’s gonna be a 1 p.m. start to kickoff the playoffs this Sunday:

The Wizards and Pacers play tonight at 8 p.m. so the afternoon game means it’ll be about 40 hours between play-in game and the start of round one. The NBA gave the 7 p.m. game on Sunday night to New York and Atlanta and then they had to go 3:30 eastern and 9:30 eastern to facilitate the west coast teams being a few hours behind.

For this series, we’re looking at about half capacity at Wells Fargo Center. Philly is going full capacity on June 11th, possibly without masks, so depending on the schedule we might be back in business for game two or game five of the second round series. We’ll know more when the league gives us more dates.

But things are looking up, eh? As long as the Sixers don’t blow it, they’ll be alive in the postseason to welcome back fans at 100% capacity.
