After years of planning and ongoing debate, the planners behind a proposal to bring a Sixers arena to Center City have backtracked. Instead, the team will get a new arena in South Philly, an official claimed.

The Sixers' arena pivot may have been a "curveball," but it's a slam dunk for Philadelphians, per Axios' unofficial poll Tuesday. By the numbers: Nearly 87% of the 426 votes cast view the 76ers' decision to abandon its Center City project for an arena in South Philly as the best move for the city.
