As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare to host the Boston Celtics on February 2, 2025, the anticipation for this Eastern Conference showdown builds. The 76ers are currently facing significant injury challenges, with Tyrese Maxey ruled out due to an ankle sprain suffered in Thursday’s practice. Coach Doc Rivers stated, “It’s tough to see Tyrese go down right now; he’s been crucial for us during this stretch.” Additionally, Guerschon Yabusele of the Celtics is also dealing with a sprained ankle but is considered day-to-day. The 76ers’ roster will rely heavily on other key players, including Joel Embiid and James Harden, who are both expected to rise to the occasion. On the other side, the Celtics will look to leverage their depth as they aim to compete without Yabusele potentially in their lineup. Game time is set for 7:30 PM EST at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Fans can expect a high-stakes match-up as both teams are vying for playoff positioning, making this game pivotal in the context of the 2025 NBA season.
