Sixers Conclude Regular Season Hosting Bucks Showdown

Philadelphia closes the regular season Sunday, April 12, at 6:00 PM ET. The Sixers host Milwaukee at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

All Eastern Conference teams tip off simultaneously. The scheduling creates several seeding permutations and late-season suspense.

Seeding scenarios

The Sixers control their fate in multiple ways. Several outcomes remain possible depending on other games.

If Philadelphia wins and both Orlando and Toronto lose, the Sixers earn the sixth seed and avoid the Play-In.
If Philadelphia wins and only one of those two teams loses, the Sixers will be the seventh seed and host the 7-vs-8 game.
If the Sixers lose, or if both Orlando and Toronto win, Philadelphia will fall to the eighth seed and play on the road.

Orlando faces Boston, a team expected to rest key players. Toronto plays Brooklyn in the final window.

Availability and injuries

Joel Embiid underwent an appendectomy and is out for the remainder of the season. He is not expected back until the fall.

Johni Broome is also listed as unavailable for tonight. Tyrese Maxey is playing while dealing with a sore pinky.

Extra rest for Maxey could be valuable ahead of any Play-In games. The team must weigh short-term gain against longer-term health.

Bucks context and team notes

Milwaukee finished the season 32-49. The Bucks currently hold the 10th-highest odds in the draft lottery.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has not played since March 15. The franchise and star have had a strained relationship this season.

Coach Doc Rivers has publicly reflected on his resume and mentioned family time as part of his postseason outlook.

On the Philadelphia side, Paul George has shown strong form since returning from suspension. Rookie VJ Edgecombe has enjoyed an outstanding first year.
