The Philadelphia 76ers have been without the services of versatile forward Kelly Oubre Jr. since Nov. 14 when he suffered a left knee sprain in a loss to the Detroit Pistons on the road. The 11-year forward out of Kansas was in the middle of a terrific start to the season with averages of 16.
For the first time since October, the Sixers have won two games in a row. They got another stellar Tyrese Maxey performance and two incredible late-game plays to avoid a disastrous collapse.
Drummond threw down a put-back dunk and splashed a corner three. The Sixers led by as many as 36 points, rookies Johni Broome and Hunter Sallis checked in, and Maxey finally finished a game with under 30 minutes. The NBA's minutes leader logged a season-low 29.
VJ Edgecombe won the game for the Sixers on a putback, and De’Anthony Melton’s last-second layup on the leak-out was blocked at the buzzer by Tyrese Maxey. Steph Curry did not make the trip as he recovered from a quad injury, and Jimmy Butler was ruled out with knee soreness.
