The NBA is making a slam dunk return to the capital this October, and you can now lock in your seats for one of the biggest sporting events of the year.

But they’ll have stiff competition in the 76ers, who are bringing the heat with Joel Embiid, the 2023 MVP, plus Paul George and rising star Tyrese Maxey. Expect high-energy showdowns, jaw-dropping plays, and plenty of fanfare.
