Kelly Oubre Jr. had 18 points and eight rebounds, Adem Bona had a breakout game with 11 points and six rebounds off the bench, and Andre Drummond had eight in his return from injury. Ricky Council IV had 18 points and nine rebounds. Here are the player grades following the loss:

Unorthodox lineups and the loss of starters due to injury have the Sixers reeling in the midst of a road trip.
