The Philadelphia 76ers claimed the 7th seed in the playoffs following a win over the Brooklyn Nets.

Joel Embiid's return spurred the team to eight straight victories, bolstering their playoff position.

Buddy Hield, acquired via trade and known for his durability, will be vital for the injury-ridden 76ers.

The 76ers are set to face the Miami Heat in a play-in game, with the winner taking on the 2nd seed New York Knicks.

Despite injuries to key players, the 76ers' competitive spirit has been on the rise under coach Nick Nurse's guidance.

The Nets are seeking a new head coach for the upcoming season.
