Why can't we be friends? That's the question everyone was asking ahead of the Celtics-76ers game on Tuesday.
The Philadelphia 76ers' arena staff played the song "Why Can't We Be Friends?" over the public address system during the Boston Celtics' morning shootaround on Tuesday. The musical choice drew widespread amusement and viral attention across social media ahead of the first regular-season matchup between the two teams since their major offseason trade.
The game marks the first regular-season contest between former Boston teammates Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum since Brown was dealt to Philadelphia for Paul George. Both franchises entered Tuesday's game near the top of the Eastern Conference standings, with the 76ers holding a 9-2 record and the Celtics sitting at 8-2.
