The Sixers’ three-game winning streak ended with a 125-124 overtime loss to the shorthanded Nuggets. Joel Embiid led Philadelphia with 32 points and 10 rebounds, while Tyrese Maxey added 28 points. Despite the absence of key Denver players like Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, the Sixers struggled early and failed to capitalize in overtime. Head coach Nick Nurse anticipates the return of Kelly Oubre Jr. and Trendon Watford soon as the Sixers prepare to host the Wizards on Wednesday.
