Arriving to the arena around 6:30, Mill visited Sixers players in the locker room before the game.

"Happy for him, happy that he's, out and that he gets to see his family and his son," Sixers' swingman Justin Anderson said before the game. "It's going to be crazy in here."

The Sixers' first two bell ringers for the playoffs were Joel Embiid and Kevin Hart.

The team ran out to Mill's song "Ima Boss"

Mill was also greeted by Eagles' owner Jeffrey Lurie.
