Bruce Brown underwent an arthroscopic surgical procedure on his right knee. The procedure was performed Thursday by Dr. Riley Williams in New York. Brown will be re-evaluated in three weeks, and his condition will then be updated as appropriate.
Brown averaged 9.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 26.0 minutes in 34 games (11 starts) with the Toronto Raptors last season. He was acquired from the Indiana Pacers on Jan. 17 as part of the Pascal Siakam trade.
Brown is a trade candidate this season with the Raptors as he’s on a $23 million expiring contract.
Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to a three-year, $193 million extension. This is the largest and longest extension Embiid is allowed to sign. The deal will bring Embiid’s contract to five years and just under $300 million in total, with a $69.1 million player option on the final season in 2028-29.
Embiid will decline his player option for the 2026-27 season. That will allow the All-NBA center to add three seasons to his deal.
Philadelphia signed Paul George to a four-year, $212 million contract this summer. The Sixers also re-signed Tyrese Maxey to a five-year, $204 million contract. With Embiid now extended, all three of the 76ers stars are under contract through at least the 2027-28 season.
