PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers will take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday on the front end of a back-to-back as they look to continue their hot start to the season. The Sixers will host a Bucks team on the second night of their own back-to-back in this contest.
The Sixers will welcome one of their new additions into the fold as Dean Wade will make his debut after missing the first two games of the season due to a left ankle sprain. He suffered the injury in the preseason finale just before halftime and he will now be able to make his debut and make an impact on the floor.
With LeBron James out, the Sixers will start Wade alongside Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown, and Joel Embiid.
