Brown registered 18 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes in Thursday's 114-108 preseason loss to the Nets.

After scoring 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting during his 76ers preseason debut Monday, Brown turned in another productive performance on the offensive end. The star forward led all players in scoring and ranked second on the Sixers in free throws made while knocking down all of his attempts from the charity stripe. Through two preseason outings, he's totaled 40 points, four rebounds and four assists in 41 minutes.

Hart collected 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 21 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 preseason loss to the Wizards.

Hart was able to shake off the rust in this one after being held to two points in 13 minutes during Monday's preseason opener against Philly. The 31-year-old did a bit of everything Thursday, which is typical considering he averaged 12.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.5 made threes over 66 regular-season games a year ago.

Alvarado (knee) tallied six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 preseason loss to the Wizards.

Alvarado was held out of Monday's preseason-opening loss to the 76ers due to a left knee contusion, though he returned to action in New York's second preseason game. The 28-year-old point guard struggled with efficiency, especially from downtown, though he sank both of his free-throw attempts.

Davis recorded 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 17 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 preseason win over the Knicks.

Davis knocked home a pair of triples and was efficient from the field on the way to a team-high 16 points. He also made an impact on the glass during his brief time on the court. Overall, this can be considered a successful preseason debut by Davis, who was limited to 20 games a year ago due to ligament damage in his left hand along with calf and groin injuries.

Thybulle (rest) is available for Thursday's preseason game against the Kings, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Thybulle sat out Tuesday's loss to Golden State but will return to action against Sacramento. He'll come off the bench Thursday after starting Monday's preseason-opening win over the Kings, during which he logged six points, two steals and one assist in 18 minutes.

Antetokounmpo totaled 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Thursday's 128-118 preseason win over the Pelicans.

Antetokounmpo turned in another strong performance in the preseason, as he was able to score at will in the first half and also found other ways to contribute. He's now put up 27 total points over his first two exhibitions and appears to be meshing well with his new squad.

Looney will start Thursday's preseason game against the Kings, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Looney started Monday's preseason-opening win over Sacramento but shifted to the bench in Tuesday's loss to Golden State. He'll join Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Adou Thiero and Quentin Grimes in the first unit Thursday.

LaRavia is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Kings, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

LaRavia is coming off a nine-point performance in the loss to the Warriors on Tuesday in the Lakers' second game of the preseason. LaRavia is contending with several players for quality minutes in the rotation, so every preseason game matters for the veteran wing. He appeared in all 82 regular-season games for the Lakers in 2025-26 with averages of 8.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists.

Mamukelsahvili isn't starting Thursday's preseason game against the Kings, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Mamukelashvili drew the start in Tuesday's exhibition against Golden State, and he made the most of his opportunity by finishing with 15 points in 18 minutes. However, the big man will head back to a bench role Thursday as Kevon Looney gets a chance to start at center.

James is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Kings, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

James will return to the bench after starting in the previous preseason game against the Warriors. James is fighting for rotation minutes ahead of the regular season, but this time, he'll have to earn his playing time off the bench.
