With still a few months before the Philadelphia 76ers begin their preseason campaign in early October, the schedule is slowly coming together.
The Minnesota Timberwolves released their preseason schedule on Thursday morning, featuring a contest against the Sixers to be played on Oct. 17 in Philadelphia at the Wells Fargo Center (at least, I think it’s still called that…).
The Sixers’ preseason schedule is going to be a bit different than seasons past, with the squad starting things off in the NBA’s Abu Dhabi Games 2025, slated for Oct. 2 and Oct. 4. Typically, this is when teams are starting their training camps and holding media days. Instead, teams playing outside of North America during preseason are able to open their camps a bit earlier than the rest, on Sept. 24. This includes the Sixers, the Brooklyn Nets, the New York Knicks, the New Orleans Pelicans and the Phoenix Suns. The teams remaining in the country will start their camps a few days later, on Sept. 29.

This is just the third confirmed preseason contest for Philadelphia so far including the two to be played in Abu Dhabi. Now, who will actually be available for those contests from the Sixers after the injuries the team entered the offseason with? We will just have to wait and see.
Not sure who is even on the Sixers’ roster at this point? No problem, we have you covered here with our 2025-26 roster tracker.
For now, we go back to offseason limbo. How fun!
