What happened
Philadelphia visits Boston for its penultimate preseason game after splitting its first two exhibitions, and Nick Nurse had said before camp that the team’s key players would appear in two of the three exhibition games. After the starters debuted in Brooklyn, the article says it”
The piece says Nurse may rest some regulars against the Celtics, while Anfernee Simons, Dominick Barlow and Adem Bona are expected to stay sidelined. It also notes Jaylen Brown has already played in both preseason games and could be held out or used again in his return to Boston.
This keeps Philadelphia’s preseason rotation fluid, with the starters’ availability still undecided and multiple depth players already unavailable. Boston also remains a test case for how much of the regular group Nurse wants to show before the finale.
