The Sixers doubled down on their Big Three model last September when they signed Embiid to a three-year max extension that’s worth a projected $187.6 million. Embiid played only 19 games, largely due to his balky left knee, and it’s currently unclear whether he’ll be cleared to participate by the start of training camp.

NBA insider Marc Stein reported that Pacers' head coach Rick Carlisle agreed to a multi-year contract extension with the team.

Indiana knocked out the Milwaukee Bucks in five games, then ousted the conference's top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in five more.
