Paul George is recovering from a bone bruise in his knee, while Embiid will not play this week for injury management. Lets get to the party tonight. Starting with the defending champs, who will raise banner no. 18. There was a lot of player movement this off-season, but the Knicks made two huge deals acquiring Kal-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges.
