Hold up, wait a minute!
Meek Mill is out of prison. And it’s just in time for him to get to the Wells Fargo Center before tonight’s Game 5.
Oh, and by the way, he has arrived. He will also be the pregame bell ringer, chief executive officer Scott O'Neil said on NBC Sports Philadelphia's Sixers Pregame Live.
What did Meek Mill do upon getting his freedom back? He posted about the Sixers of course.
Meek Mill was officially released after spending the last several months in prison. In November, he was sentenced for two to four years for violating the terms of his probation.
Comedian and Philly guy Kevin Hart, along with Sixers minority owner Michael Rubin, confirmed Meek Mill was getting out.
During the Eagles’ improbable Super Bowl run, Meek Mill’s song “Dreams and Nightmares” became the unofficial anthem of the team. The Eagles even used it as their entrance music in the postseason and it became a staple of postgame locker room celebrations.
The Sixers are up in their series against the Heat, 3-1, and can finish the series tonight (8 p.m./NBCSP).
