Nerlens Noel is hoping to make his NBA debut in his hometown of Boston on April 4.

The Philadelphia 76ers visit the Celtics that night. Noel hinted toward his hope of playing on April 4 by posting "4-4-14" on his verified Twitter page.

Noel has been slated as unlikely to play this season. Noel tore his ACL last season as a freshman at Kentucky.

“Just in general, he’s all in in regards to the practices and the weighs,” Brett Brown said. “He’s just come with boundless energy. And I really don’t want to go on record too much in regards to the tweet, because I really don’t know enough about it. I haven’t spoken to him about it. That’s that.”
