The Philadelphia 76ers will be facing the New York Knicks at the start of the NBA Cup, and many are wondering who will be available for the game. So far this season, some of their star players have already missed time, but it was mostly because of rest. LeBron James and Joel Embiid have missed games coming off back-to-backs, but everyone knows that it's more precautionary than anything.

A new name has come up on the injury report, and it's Jaylen Brown, who's dealing with left knee soreness. It's uncertain if the injury is serious, but it'll be easy to tell if he suits up for the game or not.

Here is Brown's injury status against the Knicks.

The bigger story around Brown to start the season hasn't been focused on his play, but the ongoing tension between him and Jayson Tatum. After Brown called “cap” on Tatum's comments about him getting traded to the 76ers, it has been a whirlwind of takes surrounding the two. It didn't get any better once someone asked Brown about Tatum's response.

“I didn't see the full thing, but I saw that he saw, it's ‘no beef,' and he's right, you know, Jayson comes from a great family, we've accomplished some great things, he's a great basketball player, got a hell of a PR team, there's no beef, but it might be a little lamb chops and some gravy, we gotta stay ready at all times,” Brown said.

Brown recently noted that he wanted to focus on the 76ers right now, and people will just have to wait until the 76ers and Boston Celtics face each other.
