NBA 76ers Knicks Open 2025-26 Preseason With International Games
The 2025-26 NBA preseason has begun with the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks opening their schedules in Abu Dhabi as part of the NBA's international preseason games. Young Knicks players Tyler Kolek and Ariel Hukporti are expected to compete for rotation minutes, with Hukporti poised to earn reserve center minutes due to Mitchell Robinson's injury restrictions, while Kolek faces a tough guard lineup. For the 76ers, forward Justin Edwards, who was expected to be a key backup, has struggled significantly, missing all eight of his field goal attempts in the first preseason game and raising questions about his role. Meanwhile, the 76ers are also spotlighting new additions like rookie VJ Edgecombe and undrafted player Dominick Barlow as they look to build depth. Despite star players Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George likely being absent from preseason action, players like Edwards, Johni Broome, and Hunter Sallis have opportunities to prove themselves and secure roster spots. The preseason will be critical for both teams as they prepare for the regular season starting October 21.
