Thu Mar 06 23:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Star-Studded Matchup Dimmed as Injuries Sideline Key Players in Celtics-Sixers Game
**Boston, MA –** Tonight’s highly anticipated nationally televised game between the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers will be significantly impacted by a wave of injuries, leaving fans disappointed and potentially prompting legal action.
The Celtics will be without several key players, including Jaylen Brown (right knee), Al Horford (left toe), and Kristaps Porzingis (illness). Further adding to their woes, Jayson Tatum (right shoulder) and Sam Hauser (right ankle) are questionable. The team is already without Jrue Holiday (broken finger).
The injury crisis extends to the 76ers, who are already missing Joel Embiid, Jared McCain, and Eric Gordon for the season. Paul George (left groin) is ruled out, while Tyrese Maxey (lower back) and Kyle Lowry (hip) are also sidelined. Justin Edwards (left ankle) is questionable.
The depleted lineups have prompted online outrage, with some fans suggesting refunds are warranted and even threatening legal action against the NBA for what they perceive as fraudulent advertising given the lack of star power. The sentiment reflects a growing concern about the number of injuries affecting high-profile players. The game marks the second night of a back-to-back for Boston, while Philadelphia last played on Tuesday.
