The Boston Celtics will face the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, November 10. This will be the first time the Celtics and Sixers have gone toe-to-toe in a competitive setting since Boston dropped a 3-1 lead to lose 4-3 in the opening round of the 2026 NBA playoffs. Furthermore, it will also be the first time the Celtics have faced Jaylen Brown since trading him earlier this summer.
Of course, the storylines will write themselves. Two rivals, one superteam, and one team retooling around its star player recovering from an Achilles injury. If there's one thing for certain, it's that Tuesday's game is going to be must-see television. For Celtics fans, though, it will be the first real barometer of the potential gap between themselves and the Sixers,
who entered the season among the favorites to be crowned champions next year.
In a recent episode of the 'How 'Bout Them Celtics?' podcast, hosts Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance discussed the upcoming matchup against Philadelphia, and the marquee matchup of Tatum vs. Brown. They dove into the reporting that's been emanating from Brown's cap since the trade, and what the fanbase will likely be hoping to see from the game itself.
