Philadelphia 76ers forward Jaylen Brown was ruled out of Friday’s NBA Cup game against the New York Knicks with left patellar tendinopathy, after reporting soreness following Wednesday’s win over Indiana and missing shootaround. Coach Nick Nurse said Brown’s return depends on treatment and pain management and offered no firm timetable; Jabari Walker is dealing with the same condition. Brown, averaging 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists through five games with Philadelphia, was listed as questionable for Saturday’s game in Charlotte, leaving his availability uncertain.
