The San Antonio Spurs entered Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers looking to bounce back on the final game of their five-game road trip.

San Antonio was coming off of a blowout loss Sunday against the New York Knicks after winning 11 straight games prior.

Although the game was somewhat close after the first quarter, San Antonio ran away with it in the second, outscoring the 76ers by 18, 46-28.

It was an all-around effort for the Spurs who finished with eight scorers in double figures, including Devin Vassell and rookie Dylan Harper who each scored 22. For Harper, the scoring outburst came right after he was named Western Conference Rookie of the Month for February.

Stephon Castle recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists while Victor Wembanyama recorded six blocks.

That said, the Spurs were without one of their most durable and consistent contributors.

Harrison Barnes was unable to suit up for San Antonio with an ankle injury, ending the second-longest consecutive games played streak in the NBA.

Barnes' streak came to an end at 364 games, with his last missed game before Tuesday coming over five years ago in December of 2021.

Mikal Bridges of the New York Knicks holds the longest streak at 615 games.

Barnes' teammate, Julian Champagnie now holds the second-longest streak with 163 consecutive games played.

San Antonio will have Wednesday off before beginning a six-game homestand against the Detroit Pistons Thursday.

There, Barnes will have a chance to return, currently listed as day-to-day.
