Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets Preview

The Sixers have surprised everyone with their start to the season. They came into the season with several questions because of injury concerns and the way they ended the past season with a 24-58 record. Philly has quashed the doubts with a solid start so far.

It last played on Friday in a 2025 NBA Emirates Cup game and dropped its first matchup of the season, losing 109-108 to the Boston Celtics. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 26 points and 14 assists, while Joel Embiid had 20 points in 25 minutes.

Embiid (injury recovery) will sit out Sunday’s game, while Paul George is yet to feature this season because of a knee injury. Jared McCain (thumb) and Dominick Barlow (elbow) are out as well.

The Nets are in a rebuild and their record clearly shows that. They last played on Wednesday and lost 117-112 to the Atlanta Hawks. Michael Porter Jr. had 32 points and nine rebounds, while Cam Thomas and Nic Claxton had 19 and 18 points, respectively.

Brooklyn continues to be with Haywood Highsmith (knee), while Danny Wolf (ankle) won’t feature in Sunday’s game.
