Maxey (rest) is in line to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Nets, per ESPN.com.

The 76ers are getting their first look at their star-studded lineup Thursday. Maxey, Joel Embiid, LeBron James and Jaylen Brown are all set to take the floor together for the first time.

Embiid (rest) is set to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Nets, per ESPN.com.

The 76ers are planning to have their entire Opening Night starting lineup available Thursday. Embiid, who sat out the preseason opener, should get some run in the first half while Philadelphia gets its first look at its new-look roster.

James (rest) will make his preseason debut Thursday against the Nets, per ESPN.com.

After sitting out the preseason opener, the future Hall of Famer will make his first appearance in a 76ers uniform Thursday. James should get some reps in the first half before handing things off to Philadelphia's younger players in the second half.

Potter finished with 13 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 13 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason win over the Warriors.

Portland didn't allow Potter to pass through waivers unclaimed over the summer, so he figures to have a decent chance of making the final roster. He's set to provide frontcourt depth and may not occupy an Opening Night role, though.

Camara finished with five points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason win over the Warriors.

Camara made his preseason debut Wednesday. The fourth-year forward has been a full-time starter for Portland in back-to-back seasons and should retain that role in 2026-27, especially given that Shaedon Sharpe (knee) is likely to be sidelined until March.

Henderson finished with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 17 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason win over the Warriors.

Although most of the attention is on Ja Morant and Damian Lillard in Portland's revamped backcourt, Henderson should continue to play a prominent role off the bench this season. Henderson averaged a career-high 14.2 points despite playing a career-low 24.9 minutes per game last regular season.

Clingan finished with three points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block over 20 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason win over the Warriors.

Clingan had a hard time finding the bottom of the basket in the preseason opener, but he collected a team-high 10 boards to go with a full stat line. The 2024 first-rounder added a respectable three-point shot to his arsenal and improved as a free-throw shooter a year ago, and there's still room for growth for Clingan in his third season.

Ike notched 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt 0-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.

Ike saw significant run off the bench on a night the Warriors were short on available bodies. A two-way player, Ike is likely to be sent to the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors once the preseason is finished.

Jones Garcia (ankle) is good to go for Thursday's preseason game against the Hawks, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

After undergoing ankle surgery in February, Jones Garcia apparently has a clean bill of health ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. He's on a two-way contract with the Spurs and is likely to see a lot of G League reps.

Richard notched 15 points (3-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.

The Warriors were short on healthy bodies Wednesday, allowing Richard to handle a featured role. He's competing mainly with Gary Payton and Brandon Williams for an Opening Night role off the bench.
