The Philadelphia 76ers faced the Oklahoma City Thunder with a significantly depleted roster, missing key players like Tyrese Maxey, Caleb Martin, and Paul George. Despite these limitations, the team fought hard, trailing by only four points in the early fourth quarter before succumbing to a 118-102 defeat.
Justin Edwards emerged as a standout for the Sixers, scoring 25 points in a strong showing despite the loss. Coach Nick Nurse praised Edwards for his performance, highlighting his defensive capabilities and offensive instincts. The young player has primarily played in the G-League with the Delaware Blue Coats, where he has been impressive, averaging nearly 20 points per game.
With a quick turnaround, the 76ers are set to face the New York Knicks next, as the team works to navigate through their injury struggles.
