What happened: Philadelphia opens the 2026-27 season against New York at Madison Square Garden. The evening game is the middle of a three-game opening slate airing on NBC and Peacock.

Why it matters: The night marks his first game in a Philadelphia uniform alongside Joel Embiid and Jaylen Brown. Year 24 makes him the league's senior active veteran entering a new conference race.

What to watch: The opener will show his early workload and fit with Philadelphia's returning All-NBA guard Tyrese Maxey.
