Scoreless in seven minutes
Newell had no counting stats across seven minutes during Thursday's 140-89 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
The Scoop: Newell made a rare appearance in garbage time in this lopsided defeat. The rookie first-round pick wasn't given many opportunities at the NBA level in 2025-26. He made 44 regular-season appearances and averaged 5.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 11.4 minutes per contest, but he did shoot 53.8 percent from the field.
