Nick Nurse remains optimistic about the Philadelphia 76ers despite recent struggles, stating that the team has had limited healthy players available this season. After a 125-119 overtime loss to the New York Knicks, the Sixers sit at 15-24. Nurse noted that the team has had less than ten games with their key players all healthy.

During the game, the Knicks took control in overtime, with Jalen Brunson scoring eight of his 38 points in the extra period. The Sixers have lost four consecutive games and seven of their last nine, raising concerns about their season. Notably, the team was missing star player Joel Embiid, who has been sidelined due to a foot injury.
