Philadelphia 76ers v Los Angeles Clippers
2021-22 NBA Regular Season
Saturday 22 January 2022
Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Tip-off at 02:00
The Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Clippers will renew their rivalry with an NBA Regular Season game at the Wells Fargos Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the morning of Saturday 22 January 2022. Tip-off is at 02:00.
The 76ers find themselves in the upper regions of the Eastern Conference standings, as they battle for a top four finish against the likes of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte Hornets and Milwaukee Bucks. This past weekend saw Philadelphia continue their strong recent form with a 111-99 home win over the Boston Celtics, featuring 25 points from Joel Embiid.

"I was aware of it [setting a franchise record with 30 or more points in nine straight games, possibly eclipsing Allen Iverson and Wilt Chamberlain] but was really not chasing it," Embiid said. "Those are legends. I'm surprised Wilt didn't actually do it more than eight times. My main focus coming into tonight was getting the win. We got the win and that's what I'm happy about."
The Clippers, meanwhile, are hovering in mid-table in the Western Conference and could find themselves falling out of Playoff contention if they don’t return to their best form. For example, this past weekend brought a sloppy 113-89 defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans.

"We are just trying to figure it out," Terance Mann said, referring to the absence of star forward Paul George, who has a right elbow injury and missed his 11th straight game. "They got out to an early lead that kind of put us in a hole. Once a team is feeling confident like that, it's kind of hard to come back from that."
In head-to-head stats, the 76ers and the Clippers have met in 134 Regular Season games since 1970-71, with Philadelphia claiming 74 wins compared to 60 for Los Angeles. The teams’ last Regular Season meeting was in April 2021, with the 76ers winning 106-103 at home thanks to 36 points from Joel Embiid.
