76人新首发阵容的良好氛围持续了12分钟。
在一个草率的第一节结束时，费城发现自己落后了6分，有8次失误，他们看着T.J.Warren在与他们的比赛中以19分获胜（他才刚刚开始）。乔尔·埃姆比德很沮丧，他说了些什么来动摇弥尔顿，同时像一个不赞成的家长一样向他摇手指，米尔顿生气了，开始使劲朝埃姆比德走去，但队友们进来了，把他们分开了。
乔尔·埃姆比德和沙克·米尔顿似乎在球队暂停时交换了意见。

赛后，埃姆比德试图通过NBC费城体育频道的诺亚·莱维克淡化这一事件。
“这是篮球，”他说。每个人都会犯错。会发生的。我们必须更好地沟通。作为玩家，它无处不在。你讨论了正在发生的事情，然后继续前进，你就找到了解决办法。但没什么。会发生的。每个团队都会遇到这种情况，你只要弄清楚就可以继续前进，我相信每个人都会更好地向前迈进
米尔顿作为首发球员的第一个晚上很不顺利，在场上不到20分钟的时间里，他1投0分，助攻3次。在防守方面，步行者队有时把他作为攻击目标。在第四节，教练布雷特·布朗和劳尔·内托在一起。
在一场比赛之后，76人的新的首发五分不能被取消，但是在这个NBA赛季的浓缩重新开始中，也没有太多的时间来度过那些不起作用的事情，看看它是否会出现。这场失利已经让步行者控制了东部的五号种子。

Joel Embiid downplays sideline argument with Shake Milton

The good vibes around the 76ers new starting lineup lasted 12 minutes.
At the end of a sloppy first quarter, Philadelphia found itself down six, with eight turnovers, and they had watched T.J.Warren go off for 19 against them (he was just getting started). Joel Embiid was frustrated, and he said something to Shake Milton while shaking his finger at him like a disapproving parent, Milton took offense and started to go hard toward Embiid, but teammates came in and kept them separated.
Joel Embiid and Shake Milton appeared to exchange words as the teams go to a timeout.

After the game, Embiid tried to play the incident down, via Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadephia.
âItâs basketball,â he said. âEverybody makes mistakes. It happens. Weâve gotta communicate better. As players, it happens everywhere. ⦠You discuss whatâs going on and you move on, you find a solution. But itâs nothing. It happens. It happens on every team and you just figure it out and you move on, and Iâm sure everybodyâs going to be better moving forward.â
Milton had a rough first night as a starter, with zero points on 0-for-1 shooting and three assists in fewer than 20 minutes on the court. Defensively the Pacers targeted him at times. In the fourth quarter, coach Brett Brown was going with Raul Neto at the point.
The Sixers’ new starting five can’t be written off after one game, but in this condensed restart to the NBA season there also isn’t a lot of time to ride out things that are not working and see if it will come around. Already this loss put the Pacers in control of the five seed in the East.
