Andre Drummond recorded four assists with no turnovers in the Knicks’ 106-100 opening‑night loss to the 76ers on Oct. 20, 2026, sparking a suggestion to experiment with a limited passing role for the veteran center. The assists came on shots by Josh Hart, Landry Shamet (twice) and Jordan Clarkson, contributing nine points. Alongside 12 points and 14 rebounds (seven offensive), the piece proposes using Drummond in elbow‑catch or dribble‑handoff sets to force defenders to choose between him and a shooter, without making him a primary decision‑maker. The experiment would complement, not replace, Karl‑Anthony Towns and the Knicks’ existing ball‑handlers.
Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla addresses the 108-96 loss to the Detroit Pistons, noting the team’s defensive lapses and a 23‑0 run that erased a 22‑point lead.

The Celtics aim to rebound quickly, with a home opener against the defending champion Knicks looming.

On opening night, Landry Shamet logged 5 points, 4 assists and 2 turnovers in 24:32 of play as the Knicks fell 106-100 to the 76ers. While his shooting (2-for-7 overall, 1-for-4 from three) was lukewarm, coach Mike Brown gave him more minutes than fellow guards Miles McBride and Jordan Clarkson, using Shamet as a ball‑moving connector rather than a primary scorer.

The Philadelphia 76ers host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Oct. 22 after a 106-100 season‑opening win over the New York Knicks. LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, both making their home debuts, join a lineup that impressed defensively, with Joel Embiid eyeing an All‑Defensive spot.

The Cavs retain their core—James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen (questionable)—plus new faces Peyton Watson and Mario Hezonja. A back‑to‑back win could give the Sixers early momentum in the Eastern Conference.
