The Sixers followed up their first three-game losing streak of the season by winning three nationally-televised games at home. This was capped off Tuesday night with a 126-121 win over Nikola Jokic and the defending champion Denver Nuggets.
While Joel Embiid returned to the lineup this week, the Sixers’ depth continues to be a revolving door of injuries. Robert Covington, who has yet to suit up in 2024, has dealt with a nagging knee injury the entire season.
De’Anthony Melton will miss at least the next two games. The official reason from the team is lumbar spine stress response.
