Joel Embiid recorded 28 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in a 127-116 victory, marking the team’s third consecutive win to start the season.
- On Saturday, the Philadelphia 76ers ruled star forward LeBron James out for the contest against the Milwaukee Bucks, citing lower back pain and sciatica management for the 41-year-old.

- Through two games, James averaged 15.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 6.0 assists, helping the 2-0 Sixers secure a 114-106 comeback victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday.
- Saturday marks the first game of a back-to-back series, with Philadelphia hosting the Detroit Pistons on Sunday; Dominick Barlow, Tacko Fall, and Ariel Hukporti also remain sidelined.
- Sixers head coach Nick Nurse emphasized the team's primary goal is ensuring key stars remain healthy for the playoffs, so the organization intends to rest James periodically during the regular season.
