Maxey and Yabusele Lead Short-Handed Sixers to Narrow Win Over Wizards

Philadelphia edges Washington 109-103 despite missing multiple key players, improving to 15-20 on the season.

Tyrese Maxey scored a game-high 29 points, including a crucial layup in the final seconds, and added seven assists to secure the Sixers' victory.
Guerschon Yabusele contributed 21 points on 5-of-7 three-point shooting, grabbed eight rebounds, and made a pivotal block in the final moments to seal the win.
The Sixers overcame a depleted roster with stars like Joel Embiid and Paul George unavailable due to injuries, relying on role players to step up.
Washington's Jared Butler led his team with 26 points off the bench, while Corey Kispert added 23 in a competitive but ultimately losing effort.
Philadelphia squandered a 15-point fourth-quarter lead but finished the game on an 11-2 run to reclaim control and secure the victory.
