It would be foolish to put too much stock on a couple of preseason games, but the Philadelphia 76ers did not exactly have an impressive start to their first couple of outings as a lead-up to the looming 2025-26 season.
The 76ers both of their preseason games in Abu Dhabi against the Knicks, their main division rivals. In those contests, offense turned out a huge problem for the squad, and not having Paul George, Joel Embiid, Quentin Grimes, and Jared McCain definitely did not help their cause on the offensive end. The result? Two unremarkable performances as a collective.
