The Philadelphia 76ers will open the 2024-2025 NBA season against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Neither team will be at full strength on Wednesday. Earlier in the week, the Bucks were anticipating the absence of Khris Middleton, who underwent surgery in the offseason. Without a preseason appearance, the Bucks ruled out Middleton for Wednesday’s game.
Similar to Middleton, Embiid missed the Sixers’ entire preseason. With the team putting the star big man on a strict health management plan, Embiid didn’t have a chance to ramp up for a return to the court to begin his season on Wednesday night. The Sixers will hold the one-time All-Star out until he’s fully ready to return and debut for a long 2024-2025 NBA season.
The Sixers will have to rely heavily on the one-time All-Star Tyrese Maxey to help them climb out of a four-game losing streak against the Bucks on Wednesday. After dealing with a thumb contusion in last week’s preseason finale against the Orlando Magic, Tyrese Maxey is cleared for action to make his season debut.
