What happened: Philadelphia won its preseason game as Brown and Edgecombe played together for the first time. Brown said Edgecombe is already one of his favorite people and pointed to his talent level.

Why it matters: Philadelphia is integrating a new-look wing pairing after Brown's nine-year Boston tenure split. Early chemistry between Brown and Edgecombe sets the rotation baseline entering the 2026-27 season.

By the numbers: Brown scored 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting with 3 3-pointers in 17 minutes in the first half of his 76ers preseason debut.

What to watch: Philadelphia continues preseason play with further reps for the new pairing ahead of the opener.
