  • Philadelphia beat Washington 139-134 in overtime after erasing a fourth-quarter deficit that grew as large as 16 to 19 points.
  • Tyrese Maxey posted 39 points and 10 assists, scoring nine in OT to close out the win.

  • Joel Embiid, still ramping up after knee surgery, had 25 points in a season-high 23:02 before sitting late due to a managed workload.
  • Quentin Grimes added 23 and rookie VJ Edgecombe scored 14 as Trendon Watford debuted with 18:20 of utility minutes, while persistent defensive lapses remain a concern.
