The Philadelphia 76ers are in the midst of a dismal stretch, having lost eight consecutive games, culminating in a 127-109 defeat to the Toronto Raptors. With their record now at 23-52, they find themselves just one game ahead of the Brooklyn Nets for the fifth-worst record in the league.

This game also marked the 76ers' NBA-record tying 51st different starting lineup, as they featured a roster that included several players on two-way and 10-day contracts. Despite the loss, the focus remains on player development, with head coach Nick Nurse emphasizing the need for young players like Justin Edwards, Ricky Council IV, and Lonnie Walker IV to gain valuable experience.

In the game, Walker led the team with 23 points, while Hood-Schifino contributed 19 points off the bench. The Raptors, led by RJ Barrett's 31 points, took advantage of the 76ers' makeshift lineup and solidified their own position in the standings. Going forward, the 76ers will look to improve as they face the New York Knicks next.
