Palestra to host Sixers practice

Saturday will mark the newest incarnation of The Line, in which students who have pre-ordered season tickets as well as student walkups will be able to reserve their seat starting at noon at the Palestra.

But it will also mark a real live NBA practice at the Palestra. Starting at 11 a.m., the Philadelphia 76ers will hold an open practice at "The Cathedral." The practice will likely run over into the Select-a-Seat Event starting at noon, but students are more than welcome to come check the Sixers out.

It probably doesn't hurt that the Sixers' owner is Wharton alum Josh Harris. The Sixers previously scrimmaged at the Palestra in Dec. 2011 free and open to the public, first-come, first-serve. The franchise also introduced its new owners in a press conference at the Palestra in Dec. 2011.
