The Philadelphia 76ers will face the Indiana Pacers on Sunday without star center Joel Embiid, who is ruled out due to plantar fasciitis management. Embiid, who logged 28 minutes in the 76ers’ 123-112 win over Toronto on Thursday, has missed only two games this season and is averaging a career-low 17.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 37.4% shooting. His absence is compounded by the loss of backup bigs Adem Bona and Dominick Barlow, forcing coach Nick Nurse to reshuffle the frontcourt—LeBron James is slated to fill the center role and Dean Wade may start at power forward. The game tests the Sixers’ depth early in the Eastern Conference schedule.

Josh Hart told reporters he has struggled "mentally" during his slow start to the New York Knicks' campaign to defend their title.
The Philadelphia 76ers announce Joel Embiid is out for Sunday’s 1 p.m. game against the Indiana Pacers due to plantar fasciitis, while LeBron James—who sat out the previous Raptors win for load‑management—returns to the active list. With Embiid, Dominick Barlow (back) and Adem Bona (neck) sidelined, James may log heavy minutes at center. Indiana also misses Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) and deals with injuries to Ben Sheppard, Johnny Furphy, T.J. McConnell (probable) and Aaron Nesmith (questionable). The Sixers will then face the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.
After a 106-104 loss to the Pacers, Knicks head coach Mike Brown blasted the officiating, noting the team received just five free‑throw attempts while Indiana enjoyed 20. He highlighted similar discrepancies in the previous game against Cleveland, where the Knicks were outshot 25‑11 at the line, and questioned why comparable fouls aren’t called on New York. Brown, who earned a technical for arguing a no‑call, said the Pacers played harder and urged the league to stop the “frustrating” inconsistencies as the Knicks sit 6‑6 overall and 0‑2 in NBA Cup group play ahead of Sunday’s visit to the Raptors.
Jake Fischer reports that the Nets could trade veterans like Michael Porter Jr. before the Feb. 11 deadline, despite lacking control of their June first‑round pick due to the 2021 Harden trade with Houston. The depressed trade market and new lottery rules may limit sellers, prompting Brooklyn to act. Porter Jr. earns $40.8 M this season and heads into unrestricted free agency. Meanwhile, the Pacers scout mid‑tier upgrades amid Tyrese Haliburton’s hamstring issue, the Clippers consider moving Max Strus, Kris Dunn, Derrick Jones Jr., and possibly Brandon Ingram to restore draft assets, and the Bucks face scrutiny over Gary Trent Jr.’s $64 M extension. Teams with losing records may prefer deals after Dec. 15 to maximize player value before the February deadline.
Josh Hart admitted he is struggling mentally after another scoreless performance, as the New York Knicks fell to 6-6 with a 106-104 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Friday. The post Josh Hart admits Knicks slump has affected him mentally appeared first on TalkBasket.net .
The Knicks lost 106-104 to the Pacers on Nov. 13, and guard Josh Hart went 0‑for‑4 from three but recorded five rebounds and four assists. Analyst suggests tweaking Hart’s role—using him as a screen‑setter and off‑ball cutter—to force defenses to react before he’s forced to shoot. By getting Hart open in the paint or creating weak‑side movement, New York can capitalize on his playmaking without benching him, while still using shooters like Miles McBride when a clean switch occurs. The piece recommends testing these adjustments in the upcoming Toronto game.
After a 106-104 NBA Cup loss to Indiana, Knicks guard Jose Alvarado was restrained from confronting Pacers guard Quenton Jackson, following an on‑court spat between teammate Jalen Brunson and Jackson. Brunson, who dropped 33 points and 11 assists, was caught on TV calling Jackson a "Weak ass n****" during the game. The heated exchange sparked a shoving match after the final buzzer. The defeat drops New York to 0-2 in East Group B, while Indiana improves to 1-1. The Knicks host Indiana again on Nov. 22 before continuing a road swing against Toronto.
The Knicks face a dilemma with Mikal Bridges' $115 million contract and his worst start in nine years—just 6.9 points per game on 37% shooting—while the team sits 6‑6 after a loss to Indiana. A potential fix emerges as the Pelicans announce guard Dejounte Murray’s trade request. Murray, a former All‑Star, offers a better offensive profile (career 19 PPG, 5.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists) and could replace Bridges, who is unlikely to move due to his hefty salary. If the deal goes through, New York gains immediate scoring and future cap flexibility, while New Orleans might take on Bridges hoping he rebounds. The article weighs the risks and rewards of a Murray‑for‑Bridges swap.
The Knicks fall 106-104 to the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis, citing a loss of the possession battle and defensive lapses. Coach Mike Brown criticizes the team's foul trouble, inconsistent offense, and physicality deficit, while explaining the decision to give Karl‑Anthony Towns the final shot instead of Jalen Brunson. Towns admits his missed game‑tying attempt was just an off night, and Mikal Bridges takes personal responsibility for his struggles. The post also references a photo of Quenton Jackson confronting Brunson and notes Brunson’s 0‑0 free‑throw line performance.
Indiana held off New York 106-104 on Friday night, even without Tyrese Haliburton, but the real drama unfolded after the buzzer. Video shows Pacers rookie Quenton Jackson shoving Knicks guard Jose Alvarado, who demanded a tunnel showdown before security intervened. Alvarado, who didn’t play, was reportedly held back by teammate Mo Diawara. The altercation stems from a heated bench exchange earlier, where Jackson taunted Jalen Brunson and his dad, Rick Brunson. The two have a history, with a similar clash last season in New Orleans. Knicks and Pacers meet again Nov. 22 at MSG.
Jalen Brunson poured in 33 points and dished out 11 assists in the Knicks’ 106-104 loss to the Pacers on Nov. 13, 2026. Analyst suggestions focus on tweaking the Knicks’ offense: feed Brunson later in possessions after a teammate, like Karl‑Anthony Towns (who posted 23 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists), draws the defense. By positioning Towns at the elbow and using hand‑offs, Brunson can still dictate outcomes without initiating every play. The piece also advises keeping Brunson on the ball in the final eight seconds and maintaining a weak‑side corner shooter to force defensive choices before the upcoming Toronto game.
