What happened
Philadelphia has applied for a disabled player exception after Ariel Hukporti’s preseason Achilles tear, while Tacko Fall, Jabari Walker and Dominick Barlow remain unavailable Wednesday.
Adem Bona’s 13-rebound, three-block outing against Detroit gives Nick Nurse another center option, and Joel Embiid appears set to return against Indiana.
LINEUP CONTEXT
These absences and Bona’s emergence could affect Philadelphia’s frontcourt rotation, but the exact center hierarchy still appears unsettled.
