The Philadelphia 76ers have reportedly scrapped a controversial plan to build a new arena in Center City, according to reports from the Associated
After all the controversy regarding a new arena in Center City, the Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly staying in South Philadelphia. The Sixers have reportedly agreed to a deal with Comcast Spectacor to stay in the South Philadelphia sports district.
On Wednesday night, the Philadelphia 76ers hosted the New York Knicks for the second time this season. Considering the timing of the matchup, Knicks center Karl Anthony-Towns made an effort to show off his fandom for the team across the street from the Wells Fargo Center.

In a shocking decision, sources say the Sixers have decided to abandon plans to build a new Sixers arena in Center City, opting to stay in South Philadelphia.
