The Philadelphia 76ers will continue the preseason on Thursday when they pay a visit to the Brooklyn Nets, and if you're wondering how you can watch all the action live, you've come to the right place. The Sixers will continue to prepare for the regular season and look to get some reps in, with a focus on getting everybody ready for opening night in New York.
The Sixers opened the exhibition schedule with a win over the New York Knicks at home. Philadelphia was able to receive strong efforts from Jaylen Brown and VJ Edgecombe in the opener and it will look to continue growing as a group. One has to wonder if coach Nick Nurse and his staff would like to have Tyrese Maxey, LeBron James, and Joel Embiid get some reps against the Nets after missing
the opener against the Knicks.
Here's when and where you should tune in to see the matchup:
