Today’s brief

The Philadelphia 76ers dropped their first game of the season in a wire-to-wire defeat against the Detroit Pistons. Philadelphia withheld Joel Embiid on the second leg of a back-to-back due to plantar fasciitis management despite the star center lobbying to suit up. The resulting frontcourt shortage forced LeBron James into starting duties at center alongside rookie Adem Bona off the bench.
