Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat: Storylines

The Philadelphia 76ers were forced to play with just 7 games vs. the Denver Nuggets. The league didn’t allow them to postpone the game despite having most of their players out with Covid-19, medical protocols, or injuries, as they failed to report that Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid wouldn’t be available.

The Miami Heat, on the other hand, saw its game vs. the Boston Celtics postponed as none of the teams could suit up the minimum of 8 players for the matchup, meaning that this game is also in jeopardy unless they finish their contact tracing on time. Yeah, that’s how playing basketball during a pandemic is like.
