Joel Embiid urged Sixers ticket-holders not to sell to Knicks fans after Sixers’ Game 7 win over the Celtics, a message echoed in coverage from Fox News and New York Post. The Knicks would again face Philadelphia in the next round, renewing concerns about away-game crowd control and ticketing rules tied to billing addresses. The New York Post reports a plan to limit tickets to Philadelphia-area residents and to cancel non-local sales, with refunds issued. Embiid’s appeal followed a Celtics series where he posted strong numbers; sources differ on whether the plea will curb Knicks attendance, though all cite Knicks fans traveling to Philadelphia historically. Disagreements center on likely effectiveness.
