The Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks will play an NBA exhibition game in the Carrier Dome on Oct. 14, pitting two of the Orange's most successful modern-day players against each other.

Anthony, who re-signed a long-term contract with the Knicks this offseason, and Michael Carter-Williams, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year with Philadelphia, will tip-off at 7 p.m. on a Tuesday night. The 76ers, who played 14 years as an NBA franchise as the Syracuse Nationals, also have rookie Jerami Grant on their roster.

It is the second time in three seasons that the two teams have played an exhibition in Syracuse. Anthony put on a show in the first one in 2012, playing 35 minutes and scoring 23 points despite the fact that the game was a preseason contest and he was an established NBA star.

According to a release put out by the Sixers, ticket information will be released at a later date.
