Here's the final injury report for the NBA regular season-opener between the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks.
The Cleveland Cavaliers will open the season on Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers without rotation forward Nae'Qwan Tommar Tomlin, who was diagnosed with a lower‑back stress reaction. The medical team will re‑evaluate him in three to four weeks, but the timeline could shift given the injury’s nature. Tomlin, who posted 5.8 points and 2.9 assists in 15.2 minutes per game last season, leaves the Cavs relying on Mario Hezonja and Thomas Bryant as backup bigs—both considered uncertain options. The loss could hinder Tomlin’s chance to secure a regular role early in the 2026‑27 campaign.
