The 76ers will resume their season against Indiana Pacers on August 1 at the Visa Athletic Center. The Pacers will be a difficult opponent for the 76ers, especially considering they fell below Indiana in the Eastern Conference before the three-month hiatus. While rest of the Sixers schedule 2020 is comparatively smoother, for a side looking to jump a few places in the NBA standings, the 76ers do finish their regular season with two tough opponents - Toronto Raptors and Houston Rockets.

August 1	7:00 PM	Indiana Pacers	Visa Athletic Center
