As if being on the cusp of the Eastern Conference Finals isn't enough, the Philadelphia 76ers are also in the limelight off the hardwood this week.

On Tuesday, Netflix released the latest trailer for the upcoming basketball-themed Adam Sandler project, "Hustle."

The film follows Sandler, a washed-up basketball scout for the Sixers, who discovers a phenomenal street ball player while in Spain and sees the prospect as his opportunity to get back into the NBA, according to IMDb.com.

Throughout the film, a number of prominent current and past Sixers make appearances including coach Doc Rivers, forwards Tobias Harris and Matisse Thybulle, guards Tyrese Maxey and Seth Curry as well as center Boban Marjanovic. Former NBA guard and current TNT analysis Kenny Smith as well as Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young, Miami Heat guard and Philly native Kyle Lowry and Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton also make appearances.
