The Brooklyn Nets, coming off their first preseason win, visit the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.
The Philadelphia 76ers (2-2) picked up a preseason win on the road Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks, but it came at a price when newly signed free agent Paul George went down after just 12 minutes with a hyperextended left knee. With superstar center Joel Embiid expected to have minutes restrictions and not playing both ends of a back-to-back, George is a key piece for the Sixers, who have failed to advance beyond the second round in seven straight postseason trips. Philadelphia hosts the rebuilding Brooklyn Nets (1-1) at Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night.

The 76ers emerged with a 104-89 win on Monday at Atlanta, getting 14 points each from Kelly Oubre Jr. and Tyrese Maxey, while Guerschon Yabusele finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Yabusele signed with Philadelphia in August after a strong showing for France at the Olympics. He last played in the NBA in 2018-19. Philadelphia re-signed Maxey and Oubre, along with Kyle Lowry and KJ Martin, while bringing in veterans Andre Drummond, Eric Gordon and Reggie Jackson.
Cam Thomas scored 17 points to power the Nets to a 131-92 win over the visiting Washington Wizards on Monday. Ben Simmons scored 11 points in 13 minutes and Shake Milton came off the bench for 16 points. Brooklyn brought in coach Jordi Fernández from the Sacramento Kings, re-signed Nic Claxton, Keon Johnson and Trendon Watford while trading Mikal Bridges and Keita Bates-Diop to the New York Knicks, acquiring Bojan Bogdanović, Milton and Mamadi Diakite. The Nets also acquired Ziaire Williams from the Memphis Grizzlies, sending out Diakite in that deal.
Brooklyn fell to a 32-50 record last season after five consecutive postseason appearances, only advancing past the first round once.
