The Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers have already played each other once this preseason, but that doesn't mean they'll be on the same channel as they were earlier in the week.
Thursday night's Raptors game will air on TSN 2 and the game will tip-off at 7:00 p.m. ET.
With the game airing on TSN, it will be the first time Raptors fans will get to hear from veteran broadcasters Leo Rautins and Jack Armstrong this season. Rautins will once again be in the studio providing his expertise and Armstrong will sit alongside Matt Devlin providing colour commentary all season long.

The Raptors had plenty to be happy about in their win over the 76ers on Monday.
Scottie Barnes had an impressive preseason debut, finishing with 13 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Can he replicate that performance against a 76ers team that will be more familiar with him the second time around?
Raptors head coach Nick Nurse talked this week about installing new halfcourt sets for the team in practice. How many will we see on Thursday against a pretty good Philadelphia defence? Nurse also talked about how impressed he was with the team crashing the offensive glass in Monday's contest. Can the Raptors continue to build good habits with their rebounding?
All those questions and more are sure to be answered on Thursday.
Toronto announced Wednesday that the team will be without Pascal Siakam (left shoulder - surgery rehabilitation), Chris Boucher (left middle finger dislocation), Khem Birch (health and safety protocols) and Yuta Watanabe (left calf strain), all of whom did not travel to Philadelphia.
