Matt Cord returns as Philadelphia 76ers PA announcer for 29th season

Matt Cord, the longtime public address announcer for the Philadelphia 76ers, has decided to forgo his planned retirement to return for a 29th season at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

Following a blockbuster summer that saw the addition of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown to the roster, Cord announced his return to the microphone. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve the franchise for another year, noting that he has witnessed many memorable moments during his nearly three decades in the role.

In addition to his return, Cord will assist the 76ers in identifying a successor through a tryout process scheduled to begin this winter.
