The Philadelphia 76ers clinched a playoff spot on March 21, when the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Brooklyn Nets.[2] On April 22, the Philadelphia 76ers swept the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs, following a 96–88 victory.[3]
They were eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals by the Boston Celtics after being defeated by a score of 112–88 in game 7 of the series. Following this loss Embiid was criticized on social media heavily for his 15 point game performance after being awarded the MVP few weeks prior, and his comments postgame about his team when asked about him and Harden’s future [4]
This was Doc Rivers' last season with the team as head coach; the 76ers fired him on May 16, 2023.[5]
Draft
Round | Pick | Player | Position(s) | Nationality | College / Club |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 23 | David Roddy | Guard | United States | Colorado State |
The 76ers entered the draft holding their first round pick.[6] They owe two second-round picks at 50th to the Minnesota Timberwolves that the Denver Nuggets previously owned and at 51st to the Golden State Warriors that the Toronto Raptors previously owned. They initially owed another second-round pick to the Miami Heat that they initially acquired from the Nuggets, but the pick was forfeited after the league found that the Heat violated tampering rules with Kyle Lowry in free agency.[7]
