Sixers Upgrade Jalen McDaniels' Playing Status vs. Knicks

After initially being listed as out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers trade acquisition Jalen McDaniels has been cleared for action.

When he arrived at the Sixers' practice facility on Friday morning, McDaniels wasn't cleared to play just yet. According to a Sixers official, the trade was still pending as not all of the players involved in the trade cleared their physicals.

A few hours before tip-off on Friday, the NBA officially pushed the trade through. At that point, McDaniels was upgraded from out to active, according to a Sixers official.

Sixers head coach Doc Rivers confirmed that McDaniels would have the opportunity to play on Friday night. Considering McDaniels hasn't had the opportunity to practice with the Sixers just yet, his role and minutes will more than likely be limited in his debut.
