The first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs is still in full swing Saturday but one team has already clinched a spot in the second round of the postseason. The Philadelphia 76ers, despite missing Joel Embiid due to a knee sprain, took care of the Brooklyn Nets in four games to become the first team to advance to the second round. The 76ers will await the winner of the Celtics-Hawks series in the conference semifinals.

The Denver Nuggets have effectively clinched a spot as well, since no team in NBA playoff history has overcome a 3-0 deficit. The Nuggets can complete their sweep over the Timberwolves Sunday.

Here’s a look at the playoff bracket and how things stand after Philadelphia’s win over Brooklyn Saturday.
