Those types of injuries are bound to happen, and the Knicks, who are approaching their 10th game of the season Tuesday in Philly, haven’t looked equipped to deal with it.

Tuesday’s 2024 Emirates NBA Cup action included a win for the New York Knicks over the Philadelphia 76ers, 111-99. Each New York starter played 34 minutes or more, with Deuce McBride leading players off of the bench with almost 26 minutes.

After playing with a tight rotation in close games, Tom Thibodeau opened it up from eight to nine players Tuesday with the addition of Matt Ryan.
