The Philadelphia 76ers faced another blow to their season as multiple injuries sidelined key players, resulting in a disappointing loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, and Caleb Martin were among those unable to participate, leaving the team struggling with a depleted roster. The loss marked the 76ers’ third consecutive defeat, placing them at 15-23 and further jeopardizing their playoff hopes in a highly competitive Eastern Conference.

Despite Justin Edwards’ commendable performance, scoring a career-high 25 points, it wasn’t enough to turn the tide against the Thunder, who dominated the game led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s efficient 32 points. The 76ers' struggles are exacerbated by a challenging upcoming schedule, facing teams with winning records.
