The Philadelphia 76ers continue to struggle with injuries, leading to a four-game losing streak. Coach Nick Nurse remains optimistic, citing the team's potential when fully healthy.
Nick Nurse remains optimistic despite the Philadelphia 76ers' recent struggles. The team has dropped four straight games and seven of their last nine, falling to a 15-24 record. Nurse acknowledges the significant impact of injuries, noting that the Sixers have had very few games with a fully healthy roster. \Wednesday's 125-119 overtime loss to the New York Knicks at the Wells Fargo Center highlighted these challenges.
Despite a valiant effort, the Sixers fell short against their Atlantic Division rivals. Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 38 points, including eight in overtime, while the Sixers' star trio of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Tobias Harris, when playing together, has shown glimmers of their potential but have only shared the court for 10 games this season. \Nurse remains confident in the team's ability to turn things around once they regain full health. He points to the success they've had in those limited games where the core trio has played together as a positive indicator. However, he understands the difficulties of navigating a season with so many injuries, particularly the absence of Embiid, who missed his fifth consecutive game due to a sprained left foot and knee management. The 76ers also missed the presence of De'Anthony Melton, who underwent knee surgery and is out for the remainder of the season.
