Trade Deadline: The
Indiana Pacers will trade
Buddy Hield to the
Philadelphia 76ers, Shams Charania told The Athletic. The Pennsylvania team wanted to move at the trade deadline despite Joel Embiid's injury. In exchange,
Marcus Morris and
Furkan Korkmaz will come to Indiana.
Philadelphia strengthens its short-term prospects with Hield, while remaining optimistic about Embiid's potential return this season. Additionally, they maintain financial flexibility for the summer, refraining from committing funds and preserving cap space.
