The Philadelphia 76ers will continue the preseason on Saturday morning when they take on the New York Knicks in Abu Dhabi, and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place. This game will be the second and final game in Abu Dhabi before the Sixers return home to Philadelphia.
If there is one thing the Sixers will want to see change on Saturday, it’s the shooting. Philadelphia shot a miserable 3-for-35 from deep in Thursday’s preseason opening loss to the Knicks and will hope that changes going forward. One has to believe it will just based on the law of averages, but mostly, the Sixers will want to see rookie VJ Edgecombe continue to grow alongside Tyrese Maxey in the backcourt.
Here’s when and where you should tune in to see the matchup:
How to watch

Notable injuries
As a reminder, the NBA does not release official injury reports for preseason games, but one can assume Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Trendon Watford are out for this matchup. Embiid and George are continuing to recover from serious injuries and will look to take their time. Watford has been dealing with right hamstring tightness and did not play in Thursday’s contest.
