The Philadelphia 76ers will look to move on quickly from a tough 2024-25 season. The fastest way to do so is already begin planning for next season.
The NBA announced on Thursday morning that the Sixers will take on the New York Knicks in the preseason in the Abu Dhabi games. The games will take place on Oct. 2 and Oct. 4 Etihad Arena on Yas Island.
This will be the first time the Sixers will play internationally since the 2018 preseason when they faced the Dallas Mavericks in China. Sixers star Joel Embiid played in Abu Dhabi while a member of Team USA in the 2024 Olympics.
