Overview
- Toronto beat Philadelphia 121-112 for its fifth straight win, flipping a 56-53 halftime deficit with a 44-28 third quarter that included 5-of-6 shooting from three.
- Philadelphia committed a season-worst 21 turnovers that the Raptors converted into 31 points, a lapse cited by players and coach Nick Nurse as decisive.
- Joel Embiid was ruled out for the Raptors game and again for Milwaukee due to right knee injury management, while Kelly Oubre Jr. will be re-evaluated in two weeks with a left LCL sprain.
- Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers with 24 points and nine assists against Toronto as VJ Edgecombe and Quentin Grimes added 21 apiece in a late but unsuccessful rally.
- On the back-to-back in Milwaukee, the 76ers beat the Bucks 123-114 in overtime behind Maxey’s career-high 54 points and nine assists, with George contributing 21 as Giannis Antetokounmpo sat with a low-grade groin strain expected to sideline him about one to two weeks.
