The Sixers, who came to Abu Dhabi following two days of camp at their Camden, New Jersey facility, aim to rebound from a disappointing 24-58 record in the 2024-25 season. The side views the international trip as an opportunity to build team chemistry and strengthen bonds ahead of the regular season. Players including Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey were seen training under head coach Nick Nurse, alongside the rest of the roster. The Knicks, meanwhile, bring a star-studded lineup to Abu Dhabi, featuring two-time NBA All-Star Jalen Brunson, five-time All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns, and 2022 NBA All-Defensive first team member Mikal Bridges. Brunson and Bridges previously played in Abu Dhabi as members of the USA Basketball Men's National Team prior to the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, while Towns participated in The NBA Abu Dhabi Games 2023 with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Sixers and Knicks will face off in two preseason games at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, scheduled for Thursday and Saturday.  (Production: Suramya Kaushik)
