76ers Owner Says Team Bought Tickets To Keep Knicks Fans Out After Sweep

His comments frame the loss as fuel for a broader reset.

Overview

  • Owner Josh Harris said the team purchased tickets to limit Knicks fans at Game 4 in Philadelphia and called the takeover of the arena unacceptable.
  • The Knicks completed a 4-0 series win over the 76ers, with visiting fans chanting 'Knicks in four' during a lopsided finale on Philadelphia’s home floor.
  • Harris acknowledged the sweep and said the organization’s goal is to return next season and win that matchup.
  • Philadelphia has already made major changes, with Daryl Morey out as president of basketball operations following the series defeat.
  • Management decisions drew fresh scrutiny, including the trade of Jared McCain, who is now thriving with the Oklahoma City Thunder, as the team seeks to rebuild both its roster and home-court edge.
