The Philadelphia 76ers concluded a grueling six-game road trip with a disappointing 112-99 defeat against the New Orleans Pelicans, finishing the trip with just one win and five losses. Coach Nick Nurse expressed relief at the end of their stretch away from home, emphasizing their competitive spirit despite continuous roster challenges, including injuries and player inactivity due to cap management.

Despite the team's struggles, Nurse praised their effort in games against Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston, where they displayed strong performances but fell short. Now back at home against the Washington Wizards, the focus shifts to nurturing younger talent while attempting to secure a better position for the upcoming draft.
