TIP-INS:
Local
76ers: Michael Preston, Philadelphia's director of public relations, denied a report of owner Josh Harris having any intention of selling the team. "Josh has said repeatedly that he hopes to own the Sixers for many years and keep it in the family for many years. He loves owning the team and the (report) is inaccurate and not true." . Okafor drew a Hall-of-Fame comparison from coach Brett Brown. "There are times I think he's as much a 4 man as much as he is a 5," Brown said. "To think we're going to go post Brook Lopez with Jahlil I think would be a mistake. I think his strength is more of a face up. I think I have to do a better job of getting him rolling. People like Karl Malone and (Carlos) Boozer come to mind." . Tony Wroten started his first game this season and is on a 16-minute restriction.
Nets: Young fell just shy of this third straight 20-point game. That would have been his longest streak since he had six straight for Philadelphia in March 2014. ... Coach Lionel Hollins wants more ball movement on offense. "I try to put some stuff in that would get the ball from side to side so we could initiate, take the ball from one side, bring the ball back versus just come down one shot, a quick shot or just a pass and a shot," he said.
