Kentavious Caldwell-Pope adds fuel to 76ers-Knicks rivalry with 2023 Nuggets boast

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is fully leaning into becoming an integral part of this season’s Philadelphia 76ers squad — a team that has, in the early goings of this season, looked like one of the biggest threats to dethrone the reigning champion New York Knicks. With the 76ers already having taken two games against the Knicks this season, including on Friday night during NBA Cup action, Caldwell-Pope’s confidence is soaring through the roof. In fact, the veteran guard believes that the 2023 Denver Nuggets, the team he won his second championship with, would beat the 2026 Knicks in a seven-game series.
