What happened: The starters are No. 3 Naji Marshall, No. 0 Max Christie and No. 10 Zaccharie Risacher on the perimeter. No. 25 P.J. Washington Jr. and No. 30 Moussa Cisse complete the group for preseason action.

Why it matters: Preseason combinations reveal early rotation order ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. Naji Marshall's three-year, $52.2 million extension frames his veteran role while younger starters compete for minutes.

What to watch: The outing will clarify substitution order and which frontcourt pairing holds into the second half.
