After a first-quarter injury to Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray, Denver leaned heavily on its depth but couldn’t hang with the Philadelphia 76ers in Tuesday’s 97-92 loss. The Sixers improved to 13-0 at home, while the Nuggets dropped to 14-8 on the season, wrapping up a difficult 1-3 road trip. They’ve now lost five of their last six games heading into Thursday’s contest against Portland, which will feature the return of Carmelo Anthony to Denver.
