However, the 76ers lost in the Eastern Conference First Round of the2002 NBA playoffs to theBoston Celtics in five games.^[26]^[27]^[28] Following the season, Mutombo was traded to theNew Jersey Nets,^[29]^[30]^[31] while Harpring signed as a free agent with theUtah Jazz,^[32]^[33]^[34] rookie guardSpeedy Claxton was traded to theSan Antonio Spurs,^[35] Blount and Cummings were both released to free agency, and McKey retired.
