The Sixers doubled down on their Big Three model last September when they signed Embiid to a three-year max extension that’s worth a projected $187.6 million. Embiid played only 19 games, largely due to his balky left knee, and it’s currently unclear whether he’ll be cleared to participate by the start of training camp.

The Indiana Pacers rewarded coach Rick Carlisle with a multiyear contract extension Tuesday following the team’s surprising run to the NBA Finals.

Indiana knocked out the Milwaukee Bucks in five games, then ousted the conference's top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in five more.
