With the teams poised to renew acquaintances in the Eastern Conference semifinals beginning Monday, Joel Embiid does not want history to repeat itself after the Knicks won that dramatic 2024 series in six games. The Sixers’ star warned fans not to sell their tickets and even offered to pay for them to insure a homecourt atmosphere for games at the arena, now called Xfinity Mobile Arena. “I have a message for our fans," Embiid said after putting up 34 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists as the 76ers completed a comeback from 3-1 down to beat the Boston Celtics, 109-100, in Game 7 at TD Garden.

"Last time we played the Knicks, it felt like (Philly) was Madison Square Garden East. We’re gonna need the support. "Don’t sell your tickets.

This is bigger than you. We need you guys. The atmosphere you guys created in the last two games, especially in (Game 6), we need all of it.
