What channel are Sixers on tonight? What time is Sixers-Knicks NBA Cup

The Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks meet on the hardcourt for the second time this season, but this time in an NBA Cup matchup.The star-studded Sixers led by LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid will look to take down the New York Knicks, which became the first team to capture the NBA Cup and Finals title in the same season last year.While New York will be mostly healthy with All-Stars Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and the rest of the Knicks starters available, the Sixers might be without Brown as the All-NBA forward deals with a knee injury.If Brown can't go, it would be a big loss for a Sixers team looking to go 2-0 against New York and hoping to improve on its 4-1 record this season.Will Brown miss his first game as a Sixer?
