Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin and Philadelphia 76ers owners Josh Harris, David Blitzer, and David Adelman are purchasing and distributing more than 2,000 tickets for Thursday’s Game 6 home showdown with the New York Knicks, a team spokesperson told Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The tickets will be given to first responders, health care professionals, community groups, and other local Philadelphia-based organizations, Pompey adds.
A strong contingent of Knicks fans made the trip to Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4 at Wells Fargo Center.
After Sunday’s Game 4 defeat, 76ers star Joel Embiid expressed disappointment with Philadelphia’s fan base for allowing the visiting side’s supporters to take over their home venue.
New York can close out the 76ers with a victory Thursday evening.
