Asked Brown if he anticipates using Bridges primarily at point of attack on defense or mixing it up:

"He will do it some. I think he chases really good, too. If Reggie Miller was still playing, I'd put him on Reggie."

Said they'll mix it up.

Mike Brown said one thing that stands out about Mikal Bridges is how great of a teammate he is. Said he's always uplifting everyone on the roster.

Mike Brown said he isn't sure if Josh Hart, who is day-to-day with back spasms and missed practice today due to an illness, will play tomorrow.

Does the Knicks trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo even make sense?

Brunson on team bonding in Abu Dhabi: "Being able to the dinner in the desert that we did, try different things that is within the culture out there was interesting and glad we were able to do it."

Brown said they haven't really put in any plays yet and that the offense is currently read-and-react based.

Brown on Giannis trade stuff: "I don't get into that stuff. We're in a great spot right now. ... I love our guys."

Brown said he expects to play the starters in the second half of Thursday's game.

Brown said he expects it to take some time for everyone to get adjusted to being back from Abu Dhabi.

Said it was a good practice but probably their most sloppy to date.

Mike Brown said Josh Hart (back spasms) didn't practice today and is day-to-day.

Kolek was on the floor for 10 seconds and came out.

Hart is down in front of the 76ers bench.

Looked like a non-contact injury (maybe took a knee to the leg) but he's up and walking.

Not a great 1Q for the Knicks.

-- Liked how KAT was used, the flow offense idea (not greatly executed)

-- McBride looks confident

-- No five-out yet

-- Philly, without many main guys, scored much easier than New York

It wasn't this bad.

Bridges' shooting above the break has to turnaround at some point, right?

Really the only thing interesting that sticks out to me so far is that KAT isn't stationary. He's sprinted to the corners, he's been on the win.

Dadiet with several good looks so far. Needs some to fall.

Philly's B-minus team is getting a lot of easy looks to start.
