Hopes Are High for 76ers’ Return & PA Betting Apps Are Boosting the Fun

Written By Katie Kohler on July 30, 2020 - Last Updated on May 12, 2023
76ers are back with a variety of plays for bettors in PA

The season restarts for the Philadelphia 76ers and the rest of the NBA after being on pause since mid-March. For the 76ers, the more things change (Ben Simmons taking jump shots during an exhibition game), the more they stay the same (Joel Embiid leaving an exhibition after only a few minutes with a calf injury.)

Twenty-two teams hope to write a fairy-tale ending at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Florida. The 76ers certainly have an intriguing storyline and cast of characters: two young stars in Embiid and Simmons who some believe cannot coexist and a coach, Brett Brown, who is on borrowed time to pull it all together.

PA online betting apps are ready to serve 76ers backers, detractors and other NBA bettors with a full menu of markets, promos and bet boosts.
