Robert Kraft Will Be At Game 2, Sitting Courtside With… Meek Mill?

Rapper Meek Mill has finally been freed from prison -- and will apparently join the Philadelphia 76ers for their postseason run, which continues with Thursday's Game 2 showdown at TD Garden.

According to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio, and after bringing Mill to Philadelphia's Game 5 closeout head-to-head win over the Heat via helicopter in round one, Sixers co-owner Michael Rubin will be bringing the Philly-born rapper with him to tonight's game in Boston, where the duo will sit courtside. But according to Bleacher Report's Natalie Weiner, the rapper will not only be joined by Rubin, but Patriots owner Robert Kraft as well.

Kraft, a fixture at both C's and Bruins playoff games this spring, is an apparent close friend of Mill.

The 76-year-old Kraft even visited Mill in prison last month, and came out with strong words of support for Mill's situation, which is complicated to say the least, even since his release from prison on Apr. 24.

“Amazing young man. I know how I’d feel if I was in the situation he is,” Kraft told the assembled media after visiting Mill in prison early last month. “Every time I see him, I just come away more impressed. He’s very intelligent. And makes it clear to me we have to do something with criminal justice reform.”

Given how the Garden crowd attempted to torment Ben Simmons and the Sixers with creative chants in their Game 1 victory on Monday, it will be interesting to see if a lubed up crowd tries to get on Mill's case with a chant tonight.

The Celtics are a perfect 5-0 at home this postseason.

Game 2 can be heard on 98.5 The Sports Hub, with pregame coverage beginning at 8 p.m.
