What happened: Karl-Anthony Towns separated from Joel Embiid for a step-back jumper and converted the and-1. The exchange came in October preseason play ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Why it matters: October touches double as conditioning and timing work with no standings impact.

What to watch: Both centers continue building toward opening night.
