Sixers to play in Orlando summer league
The Sixers will return to the Orlando Pro Summer League in July.
The eight-team field features Indiana, Utah, Brooklyn, Orlando, Detroit, Oklahoma City and Boston. The Sixers will play five games over five days at the Orlando Magic’s practice court at the Amway Center.
The league was on hiatus last year because of the lockout.
The roster will not be set until after the draft, but this is expected to be the first look at the Sixers' draft picks.
Here is the Sixers' schedule:
Monday, July 9: vs. Indiana at 5:00 p.m.
Tuesday, July 10: vs. Utah at 11:00 a.m.
Wednesday, July 11: vs. Brooklyn at 3:00 p.m.
Thursday, July 12: vs. Orlando at 5:00 p.m.
Friday, July 13: vs. Detroit at 12:00 p.m.
A roster will be announced on a future date.
