NBA Playoffs 2023: Celtics-76ers second round schedule announced

The Boston Celtics will face the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals after defeating the Hawks 128-120 in Game 6 on Thursday night to win their first round series 4-2.

Boston will now have three days off before opening Game 1 of the series against the 76ers on Monday night at TD Garden. Here’s a look at the full series schedule.

Game 1: PHI @ BOS May 1

Game 2: PHI @ BOS May 3

Game 3: BOS @ PHI May 5

Game 4: BOS @ PHI May 7

Game 5: PHI @ BOS May 9

Game 6: BOS @ PHI May 11

Game 7: PHI @ BOS May 14

The big question mark for the matchup will be the status of Joel Embiid who is dealing with sprained knee suffered in the team’s series win over the Nets. Doc Rivers put the odds on him being available for the start of the series at 50/50 as of last week.

“I’m just going to wait,” Rivers told reporters on Thursday when asked about Embiid’s status. “They’ll call me later and we’ll see where he’s at.”

The Celtics won the season series 3-1 against the 76ers in the regular season.
