At least one West coach is pulling for Ben Simmons to come to the conference — with Jason Kidd and the @Dallas Mavericks: “There is no coach I would rather see get his hands on Simmons than Jason Kidd”

Last night the Sixers got their first chance at answering the question that will define their early season: How good are they without Ben Simmons?
Not a great start (no Embiid or Harris), but it did provide some clues on how they might try to survive: theathletic.com/2868852/2021/1… – 9:51 AM

Injury report for Pacers-Knicks tomorrow features no surprises for the Pacers. TJ Warren (Fractured Left Navicular), Caris LeVert (Sore Lower Back), and Edmond Sumner (Torn Left Achilles Tendon) are out. Nobody else is listed. I expect Rick Carlisle will play a lot of guys. – 6:09 PM

Two more random things I also remember from that March 2020 Nets-Lakers game:
-Anthony Davis missed a 3 at the buzzer and Kevin Durant led the whole Nets bench in shouting at him as he took it.
-Todd Gurley and DeAndre Hopkins sat courtside and chatted up Caris LeVert – 3:31 PM

More on this storyline
Indiana is among several teams who have expressed interest in trading for Simmons, as reported earlier by The Philadelphia Inquirer. The Sacramento Kings are also among that group of teams, per sources. Simmons is holding out of training camp and still has no plans to play for the Sixers in the immediate future. -via SportsNet New York / October 5, 2021
