Sixers' Barlow Shines in Embiid's Absence

The Sixers, down 0-2 in their series against the Knicks, struggled without Joel Embiid due to a sprained ankle and hip soreness. Andre Drummond and Adem Bona started at center, but both hit foul trouble in the second half. Dominick Barlow stepped up, guarding Jalen Brunson in crunch time and even having Paul George slide to the five spot late. Barlow, who averaged 7.7 points and 4.8 rebounds in the regular season, flashed his potential as a starter. The series now shifts to Philly for Game three, with Nurse having options to test Embiids availability and potentially utilize bench sparks like Barlow.
