The Philadelphia 76ers faced a tough loss against the Milwaukee Bucks, as they aimed to secure a favorable draft position by extending their losing streak to ten games. Despite a remarkable performance by rookie Adem Bona, who scored a career-high 28 points, the Sixers fell short in the match, losing 126-113. Head coach Nick Nurse was ejected after receiving two technical fouls in quick succession, further amplifying the team's struggles. The loss leaves the Sixers with a 23-54 record.

Meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo showcased his MVP-caliber talent with 35 points, 17 rebounds, and a career-high 20 assists, achieving his 53rd triple-double. With this victory, the Bucks improved to 42-34, snapping a four-game losing streak. The game also marked a milestone for former Sixers coach Doc Rivers, who surpassed Phil Jackson for seventh place on the all-time coaching wins list. The Sixers, already missing key players due to injuries, welcomed new addition Colin Castleton on a 10-day contract.
