What happened
Philadelphia backup center Adem Bona practiced again on Sunday after missing the preseason with a foot sprain, while Domenick Barlow stayed sidelined and Dean Wade remained questionable for the opener because of an ankle issue.
The Knicks also enter Tuesday with Josh Hart managing an ankle injury, though the report says he figures to be available for the game at Madison Square Garden.
Bona’s return could give Philadelphia another frontcourt option if Wade is limited, but Barlow’s status still leaves the Sixers’ backup-center rotation unsettled. Hart’s availability matters for New York’s wing depth, even if he is active.
