Fans hoping to get a look at this season's 76ers will get their first chance at 7 p.m. Sept. 25.

For the second straight year, the Sixers' Blue-White scrimmage will be held at the Palestra.

"This historic gym, which is so rich in basketball tradition, provides the perfect atmosphere to introduce this year's team to our awesome fans," coach Brett Brown said in a statement Monday. "Last year's scrimmage was electric, and we look forward to sharing our excitement for the upcoming season."

At last year's scrimmage, in the midst of changing teams and lineups, the friendly game had a clear star. Despite it being the first look at Markelle Fultz and Ben Simmons, Furkan Korkmaz hit multiple three-pointers and wowed the crowd.

Fultz, who is looking to flip the script after a turbulent rookie campaign in which he missed most of the season, will again have all eyes on him and his jump shot.

Tickets for the scrimmage, which are free for fans, will be available via the team's various social media platforms beginning Sept. 18.
