76ers Open 2026-27 at 0-0 With Embiid, Maxey and a Reshaped Roster
newsroom · 2 h agoThe Philadelphia 76ers sit at 0-0 as the 2026-27 season approaches, with the regular season opener set for 2026-10-20 at the New York Knicks on NBC/Peacock. Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown and LeBron James lead a roster that also loses five players from last season, including Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is the only name on the injury report, day-to-day with a right finger and arm issue.
Where Things Stand
Philadelphia opens the 2026-27 season at 0-0, with no games played yet. The regular season opener is set for 2026-10-20 at the New York Knicks, airing on NBC/Peacock, the start of an 80-game slate that includes 42 national television appearances. Before that, the team runs a preseason slate: 2026-10-05 vs the Knicks, 2026-10-08 at Brooklyn, 2026-10-10 at Boston, and 2026-10-16 vs Boston again. The 76ers play in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference and call Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia home. Last season the team went 45-37. With no seed or streak on the board yet, attention turns to how this roster performs once the games start to count.
The Roster Takes Shape
Joel Embiid, 32 and entering his 10th season, anchors the frontcourt at center, with Tyrese Maxey, 25 and in his sixth season, running the offense. Jaylen Brown, 29 and in his 10th season, and LeBron James, 41 and in his 23rd season, add two more scoring wings. Anfernee Simons, 27 and in his eighth season, and Kyle Lowry, 40 and in his 20th season, bring backcourt depth and experience. VJ Edgecombe, 21, enters his second season, and Justin Edwards, 22, his second as well. Adem Bona, 23, and Ariel Hukporti, 24, add size up front. The roster also carries four rookies: Labaron Philon, Duke Miles, Jameer Nelson Jr. and Saint Thomas. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is day-to-day with a right finger and arm issue, with an estimated return of 2026-10-01.
Last Season by the Numbers
In 2025-26, Tyrese Maxey averaged 28.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 6.6 assists over 70 games, shooting 36.7 percent from three. Jaylen Brown averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists over 71 games. Joel Embiid, limited to 38 games, put up 26.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists. LeBron James played 60 games, averaging 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists. VJ Edgecombe averaged 16.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists over 75 games. As a team, the 76ers posted a 114.3 offensive rating and a 114.4 defensive rating, a net rating of -0.1, with a pace of 100.4 and an effective field goal percentage of 53.0. They finished the year 45-37.
Who's Gone
The 76ers enter 2026-27 without five players from last season's roster. Kelly Oubre Jr. is now with the Indiana Pacers. Paul George has moved on to the Boston Celtics. Quentin Grimes is now with the Los Angeles Lakers. Andre Drummond signed with the New York Knicks. Trendon Watford is now with the New Orleans Pelicans. None of the five are part of this year's roster, and their exits mark real turnover from last season's group heading into the new campaign. Philadelphia will lean on its returning core and newcomers to fill the minutes those five leave behind.
The Preseason and the Opener
Philadelphia's preseason slate opens 2026-10-05 at home against the New York Knicks, followed by a road trip to Brooklyn on 2026-10-08 and to Boston on 2026-10-10, before hosting Boston again on 2026-10-16. The regular season then opens 2026-10-20 on the road against the Knicks, broadcast nationally on NBC/Peacock. The 76ers are slated for 80 regular season games this year, with 42 of them on national television, a sign of how closely this roster will be watched from the opening tip. With the record still 0-0, every preseason game doubles as a first look at how the new-look group fits together before the games start to count.
