Game 3 of Knicks-76ers tonight in Philly, Embiid is back, and the Sixers are donating 500 tickets a game to nurses and teachers just to keep Knicks fans out of the building

Philly is begging its fans to show up. The Sixers announced today they're donating 500 tickets for each remaining home playoff game — 250 to medical workers from CHOP and Penn Medicine, 250 to local teachers tonight, 500 to mothers and grieving children at Sunday's Game 4 — explicitly because they're worried Knicks fans will take over the building again. Two years ago in the first round, Brooklyn and Manhattan flooded Wells Fargo. The Sixers don't want a rerun.

The Knicks ride into town up 2-0 and have a complication. OG Anunoby grabbed his right hamstring in the closing minutes of Game 2 — strain, day-to-day, questionable for tonight. He's been New York's most efficient playoff scorer (21.4 PPG, 7.5 RPG) and the guy switching onto Tyrese Maxey every possession. Josh Hart (back) is also questionable.

For Philly: Joel Embiid is back. He missed Game 2 with right ankle and right hip soreness; the Sixers got smoked anyway, with Maxey going for 30 in defeat. Embiid is officially questionable but every report has him in. Brunson is averaging 28 in the series. The Knicks haven't lost a series this run. Tip is 7 PM ET on TNT — but you can't watch it live in many markets, the broadcast is exclusive to TNT, and Philly's fans will be there in (some) numbers thanks to free tickets.
