76ers coach Doc Rivers to begin his pregame presser:
“We’re gonna open up about Mike Woodson and the phenomenal job he did at Indiana.” – 5:34 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers guard T.J. McConnell is back. He WILL play tonight vs the 76ers, his former team.
It’s his first game in 125 days, then he needed wrist surgery.
“He’s excited to be back out there,” Carlisle said. – 5:23 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid

The “Harden isn’t the same guy” thing is accurate. He appears no longer capable of averaging 36 points per game.
That does not mean he’s washed or that he cannot adjust his game to age more gracefully as he gets older. – 4:42 PM Sam Vecenie @Sam_Vecenie

LeBron, Giannis and Embiid are fighting for the scoring title, but actually none of them will lead the NBA in points this season.
No. 1 will be either DeRozan or Trae.
Idea to disincentivize load management: Give the scoring title to the guy who actually scores the most points. – 2:56 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers
