GAME 1 ROSTERS: Blue Team: 💙 Tyrese Maxey VJ Edgecombe Jaylen Brown LeBron James Joel Embiid Dean Wade Kentavious Caldw Via @sixers on X

What happened: Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown, LeBron James and Joel Embiid were listed on the Blue side for Game 1, while Caleb Love, Justin Edwards, Jabari Walker and Ariel Hukporti were among the White group. The format allows rosters to change before each of the three 10-minute games.

Why it matters: The setup offers an early camp look at combinations around Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid before exhibition games begin. It also puts Caleb Love and other younger rotation hopefuls into a live run as 2026-27 roles start to sort out.

By the numbers: Game 1 lists 17 players total, with eight on Blue and nine on White. Each segment is scheduled for 10 minutes, and the rosters can be reshuffled between games.

What to watch: Watch whether the Game 1 groups stay intact once play starts, since the format permits lineup changes between segments. Guard usage across Maxey, Edgecombe, Love and Labaron Philon Jr. is the clearest next clue on early backcourt combinations.
