How to watch 76ers vs. Celtics today: TV channel, time, live stream for 2022 NBA opening night Joel Embiid vs. Jayson Tatum showdown

The Celtics are hoping to conjure a turbulent offseason in the rearview mirror as their 2022-23 season begins.

Boston made some big moves last summer, acquiring Malcolm Brogdon and Danilo Gallinari to add to its depth. Unfortunately for the Celtics, they quickly lost Gallinari to a torn left cruciate ligament and then learned that Robert Williams III needed surgery on his left knee.

As if those losses weren’t enough of a challenge, Boston must continue without head coach Ime Udoka, who has been suspended for violating organization guidelines. The 45-year-old will be absent from the team for the entire season and it’s unclear if he will ever return to the bench.

The Celtics’ opening opponents, the 76ers, had a much quieter offseason. They re-signed James Harden at a discount and added solid role players like PJ Tucker, De’Anthony Melton and Daniel House Jr. With Joel Embiid taking the lead once again, Philadelphia will look to dethrone Boston in the Eastern Conference.
