What happened
Philadelphia opens its regular-season game at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday against New York, with the article saying the club’s projected starting five will get its first extended look together after only one preseason half.
Dominick Barlow and Tacko Fall are out, while Adem Bona and Anfernee Simons are listed questionable but expected to play; Dean Wade is also questionable, and New York has a clean injury report with Josh Hart set to play despite an ankle issue.
Philadelphia’s frontcourt rotation remains the main variable because Barlow and Fall are unavailable and Bona’s status is still listed as questionable. New York enters with fewer availability concerns, aside from Hart’s managed ankle note.
