Former 76ers partner Michael Rubin has joined forces with the current ownership in a desperate bid to prevent New York Knicks fans from taking over Philadelphia again.

Knicks supporters swarmed Philly's Wells Fargo Center for Game 4 of their NBA playoff series on Sunday, with the Sixers' star center Joel Embiid admitting he was 'p****d off' at the situation after their 97-92 loss.

Thousands of visiting fans made their presence known on the day, almost outnumbering the home crowd as a result, before New York extended their lead in the series to 3-1. 

However, after the Sixers pulled one back on Tuesday to make it 3-2, Rubin and 76ers owners bought over 2,000 tickets for Thursday night's Game 6 in Philly to ensure the same doesn't happen again.

Rubin, the Fanatics CEO who previously owned a stake in the team, wrote on X: 'Josh Harris, David Blitzer, @david_adelman and I just bought more than 2,000 tix for Sixers Game 6 - we absolutely CANNOT let Knicks fans take over our arena again!!!
