Sixers fall 112-104 to the Knicks in Abu Dhabi, but several players flashed upside as Philadelphia continues its preseason work. Edgecombe wowed with a poster and relentless defense, while Maxey fought through early rust and found some rhythm with a mid-range jumper and trips to the line. Oubre started slow but steadied, Bona and Drummond anchored the paint with energy, and Walker plus Broome offered versatile looks that could keep rotation debates lively.

Brunson's on-ball pressure against Maxey looms as a theme, and the Sixers’ shooting recovery from the Thursday opener remains a focal point. With the official stats glitching, the on-court signals take on extra importance as the team shapes its early-season mix.
