Once a team that would not even get its game highlights on SportsCenter, the Sixers are now replacing teams on national television.

CSN Philly’s Molly Sullivan confirmed that CSN will still carry the game despite being on the Worldwide Leader’s airwaves. Additionally, the contest is now starting later.

HOU at PHI game time will be changed to 8:00ET and will now be televised by ESPN (& of course @CSNPhilly)…ESPN dropped MIA-CHI for it

With the game not being part of a back-to-back, it looks as though Joel Embiid will play as well and the game is at the Wells Fargo Center. It’s going to be a good one.

Trust the Process.
