Tuesday was a fantastic day for the NBA. The basketball itself was merely OK, but there were so many storylines and narratives to breakdown and enjoy. Such as 32-year-old rookie Andre Ingram stealing the show in Los Angeles and scoring 32 points in his debut. The 76ers set a franchise record for wins in a row. The Jazz pummeled the Warriors, Chris Paul embarrassed Ivica Zubac and Dirk Nowitzki announced he's coming back for his 21st season.

Check below for all the scores, highlights and news from throughout Tuesday. 

NBA scores for Tuesday, April 10

76ers win 15 in a row

Ingram steals the show

Andre Ingram played in the NBA G-League for 10 years. On Tuesday, he made his NBA debut with the Lakers at 32 years old.

It's the best story of the season. Full story.

Joel Embiid probably won't return for the beginning of the playoffs. That's what Brett Brown said in a radio interview on Tuesday.

Mitchell wears hoodie in response to Simmons

Donovan Mitchell didn't care too much for Ben Simmons' comments about Rookie of The Year. So he wore a hoodie with the definition of rookie on it to say that Simmons isn't a real rookie. He also said he doesn't actually care about the award. This league is ridiculous in the best ways. Full story.
