After falling to the New Orleans Hornets 85-80 on Sunday, the Orlando Magic will look to bounce back as they host the Philadelphia 76ers for the second preseason game Thursday at 7:00 p.m. ET.
This game will feature former Magic players making their return playing for the 76ers.
In a four-team trade that sent Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers and Andrew Bynum to the 76ers, the 76ers also took Magic swingman Jason Richardson in the deal, while sending center Nikola Vucevic and rookie swingman Maurice Harkless to Orlando.
The 76ers will be without Bynum, who is resting a nagging knee injury.
Familiar names such as Evan Turner, Jrue Holiday, Thaddeus Young, Spencer Hawes and Lavoy Allen will see significant playing time, but Collins mentioned that newcomers Arnett Moultrie, Richardson, Kwame Brown, Nick Young and Dorell Wright will see plenty of action as well.
The Magic will be without newly acquired Arron Affalo and Christian Eyenga. Neither players played in Sunday's exhibition game against the Hornets, and both are suffering from hamstring strains.
Afflalo averaged 15.2 points per game for the Denver Nuggets in the 2011-12 season. Eyenga, for his part, posted 2.4 points per game that same season, which campaign he split between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers.
