The Bob Carpenter Center is now home to the Sixers new D-League team, the Delaware 87ers, that was established earlier this summer. This is a big move for a small state that does not have any major professional sports teams, and the 87ers should provide excitement on a nightly basis. 76ers fans, as well as basketball fans in general, finally will get to experience a marquee NBA game within their home state of Delaware and will be able to see a professional D-League team when the season starts.
For the 76ers, this preseason game should be very interesting since the team is clearly in rebuilding mode. There are a lot of new faces on the roster as well as a new coaching staff and this early preseason matchup should give fans a sense of what the 2013-2014 season will be like.
