Matt Guokas Jr. made his debut for the Philadelphia 76ers against the New York Knicks at Convention Hall.

NBA.com’s archive notes it was the first father-son combination in the league: Matt Sr. had played for Philadelphia in the 1940s and was calling Sixers games by 1966.

Guokas played 16 minutes, made 3 of 4 shots, added a free throw and finished with 7 points, 2 rebounds and an assist.

Philadelphia won 128-112. Wilt Chamberlain had 28 points and 21 rebounds; Chet Walker scored 25, Hal Greer 19 and Billy Cunningham 15.

Dave Stallworth had 24 and Howard Komives 22 for New York, but the Sixers controlled the night that opened a new family chapter.
