76ers Announce 2020-21 Second Half Schedule Presented by Toyota

PHILADELPHIA – FEB. 24, 2021 – The Philadelphia 76ers announced today the Second Half of the 2020-21 regular season schedule presented by Toyota, including the team’s first game back in action following the All-Star break, a road matchup with All-Star Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, March 11 at 8 p.m. ET. Philadelphia is slated to play nine times on national television on either ESPN or TNT during the Second Half of the season, including a Thursday, March 25 road tilt against the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers at 10 p.m. ET on TNT.

Philadelphia’s Second Half schedule is comprised of 36 games, including 17 at home and 19 on the road. In an effort to minimize travel, for teams that play twice in one market, the NBA has scheduled “series” of games where both games are played consecutively. Philadelphia recently completed its fifth series of the First Half and will play another three during the Second Half.

First, the 76ers will play consecutive road games at Milwaukee on Thursday, April 22 (7 p.m. ET) and Saturday, April 24 (3:30 p.m. ET), with each game being nationally televised; the first on TNT and the second on ESPN.
