If you’re the Philadelphia 76ers, Monday night’s Game 2 collapse yielded devastating news, but also one pretty good reason to feel cautiously optimistic about the rest of the first-round series against the New York Knicks.

For many years, the Anthony Davis trade has handicapped the Lakers’ future. In recent seasons, the uncertainty of whether the Pelicans will own the Lakers’ 2024 or 2025 first-round pick has been particularly concerning.
