Tyrese Maxey Will Miss Another Game on Sunday Night

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) won't play on Sunday against the Hawks, his second-straight absence. He's under the weather, so his next chance to suit up will be on Friday night versus the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. With Joel Embiid (knee) questionable, Philly may need to rely more on Paul George and VJ Edgecombe to handle most of the work offensively. Quentin Grimes, coming off a 10-point, nine-rebound, one-block, one-steal outing in Friday's win over the Indiana Pacers, will presumably remain in the starting lineup.

Joel Embiid Questionable Versus Atlanta

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable ahead of Sunday's game in Atlanta. Fantasy managers are used to seeing his name on the injury report. However, with Tyrese Maxey (illness) doubtful, more attention is on Embiid's availability after he had 39 points in Friday's win over the Indiana Pacers. If he ends up getting ruled out (along with Maxey), that should mean extra scoring opportunities for Paul George and VJ Edgecombe, at the very least. As far as the middle is concerned, Andre Drummond, averaging 10.1 points and 11.8 rebounds in 11 starts this season, remains the favorite to replace Embiid in the rotation.

Tyrese Maxey Trending Toward Second Straight Absence

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Atlanta. If he sits again, Quentin Grimes should remain in the starting lineup and hold streaming value for threes with a chance at secondary playmaking after posting 10 points, nine rebounds, and four assists in 39 minutes Friday. VJ Edgecombe stays locked into a heavy run and just went for 22 points and five assists. Jared McCain can see a small bump off the bench, too.

Joel Embiid Available Against Indiana

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will play on Friday night against Indiana. The 31-year-old has appeared in only nine games throughout the 2025 campaign. Outside of his routine absences, fantasy managers have also been frustrated by his career-low averages of 18.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 21.4% shooting from behind the arc. With that said, Embiid has an excellent opportunity to get something going for fantasy participants, especially since Tyrese Maxey (illness) won't suit up, versus a Pacers team that has had issues slowing down opposing bigs this season.

Tyrese Maxey Under the Weather on Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) won't play on Friday against Indiana. The 25-year-old is in the MVP conversation this season. Unfortunately, he'll miss his first game of the 2025 campaign on Friday due to an illness. His next chance to suit up will be on Sunday in Atlanta. In the meantime, Jared McCain or Quentin Grimes could find themselves in the starting lineup, although both players should see considerably more minutes as well as an increase in scoring opportunities regardless of their roles.

Tyrese Maxey Dealing With Illness But Expected to Play Friday

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) is listed as probable for Friday's contest against the Indiana Pacers. He has landed on the injury report with an illness; however, the probable designation suggests that Maxey is expected to be in the lineup. Maxey had led the Sixers' offense all season, averaging 31.5 points and 7.2 assists. Philadelphia faces a pace-up spot on Friday against a defensively-challenged team, putting Maxey in a great position to stuff the stat sheet.

Joel Embiid Probable Ahead of Friday's Matchup With Pacers

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is considered probable for Friday's tilt against the Indiana Pacers due to left knee injury management. Despite another addition to the Sixers' injury report, the big man will likely suit up Friday for the second game in a row. Embiid finished with 16 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in his last appearance during a 112-108 loss to the Lakers on Sunday. When the 31-year-old is actually available to take the floor, he is still a fantasy force and is a must-start across all formats.

Paul George • SF • 76ers

Paul George Available on Sunday Evening

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite missing plenty of time throughout the 2025 campaign, the veteran will now suit up for his second-straight appearance. He's coming off his best showing of the year, amassing 20 points in Friday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. With George in the mix, Quentin Grimes will remain on the bench, although he's still worth starting in most fantasy formats.

Joel Embiid Available Against Lakers

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will play on Sunday versus the Lakers. He was questionable on Saturday's edition of the Injury Report after missing Friday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. However, the 2023 MVP was upgraded to probable on Sunday afternoon, so fantasy managers had a feeling he'd be good to go. Embiid has struggled this season, averaging a career-low 18.5 points with 3.1 assists and 5.4 rebounds. Still, he remains a must-start based on his upside alone. With Embiid on the floor, Andre Drummond will head back to the bench .

Joel Embiid Upgraded to Probable Against Lakers

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers. The 2023 MVP missed Friday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. While it appeared he was trending toward another absence, he was upgraded from questionable on Sunday afternoon. Of course, there's still a chance Embiid won't be on the floor. If that's the case, Andre Drummond, averaging 10.1 points and 11.8 rebounds in 11 starts this season, will presumably replace him in the rotation once again. If Embiid is availabe, he's a must-start in any fantasy format despite his decline in production.

Paul George Avoids Injury Report On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (injury management) will play on Friday night when his team visits the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran forward has intermittently missed games after sitting out the first 12 games of the season. The 76ers are on the second night of a back-to-back; however, George did not play in Thursday's win over Golden State. George is seeing about 22 minutes of action in his six appearances (all starts) this year, averaging 13.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per game.

Joel Embiid Sitting Out Game 2 of a Back-To-Back

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee, injury management) won't play on the second night of a back-to-back on Friday in Milwaukee. It's no surprise that Embiid will watch from afar, as he previously stated he may never play back-to-back games again in his career due to his knee. The former MVP has also only played in eight games this year while managing the injury. Andre Drummond has picked up the start at center for most of Embiid's absences this season. Expect that trend to continue Friday night. Embiid is averaging a career-low 18.5 points and 5.4 rebounds in about 24 minutes per game this year.

Joel Embiid Back on Thursday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will play on Thursday versus Golden State. The 31-year-old hasn't played the best throughout the 2025 campaign. However, he's at least been showing signs of life of late, averaging 22.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, and 1.3 steals in three appearances in November. While Embiid will presumably be limited from a minutes standpoint, he's a must-start in all formats.

Quentin Grimes • SG • 76ers

Quentin Grimes Is Ready to Return on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes (calf) is ready to return to action on Thursday after missing Tuesday's game with a calf injury. He was upgraded from questionable to available on Thursday before game time. The 25-year-old started three of his previous five games, playing big minutes in each contest and averaging 38.2 minutes per game while producing 16.8 points, 4.8 assists, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.8 three-pointers in those five contests. With Paul George (knee) out on Thursday against the Warriors, Grimes could be in a very involved role once again, and he's a solid option to consider for DFS or streaming purposes against the injury-depleted Warriors. The Sixers play again on Friday, so keep an eye on his status going forward, since the team could choose to alternate him and George each missing a game in this set.

Paul George Will Not Play Against the Warriors

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) was downgraded from questionable to out on Thursday, ahead of his team's home game against the Warriors. George has been limited to only six games this season and has only averaged 22.2 minutes per contest. He only played 18 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Washington Wizards and is now averaging 13.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. With George out, Justin Edwards could return to the starting lineup, which would give him much more upside as a streaming or DFS option.

Joel Embiid • C • 76ers

Joel Embiid Upgraded to Questionable for Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knees) was upgraded from doubtful to questionable on Thursday before his team hosts the Warriors. Embiid is recovering from injuries to both his knees and has played just three games since Nov. 1. He last played on Sunday against the Hawks, logging 30 minutes in the double-overtime contest and finishing with 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block. He missed Tuesday's game, but his questionable tag indicates he has a shot to either play Thursday against the Warriors or Friday against the Bucks. Whichever game he plays, he'll be very involved for the Sixers, and he could try to give it a go on Thursday, especially with Paul George (knee) being ruled out at the same time Embiid was upgraded. If Embiid plays, Andre Drummond will have a reduced role off the bench.

Quentin Grimes • SG • 76ers

Quentin Grimes Uncertain To Play Against Golden State

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Quentin Grimes (calf) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with Golden State after missing Tuesday's win over Washington. His absence opened meaningful minutes on the wing, with rookie VJ Edgecombe producing nine points, six rebounds, six assists, two steals, and two blocks in 24 minutes while starting. Justin Edwards and Jared McCain also handled expanded roles and remain viable short-term streamers if Grimes sits again. Grimes should still be held in most formats due to stable minutes, three-point volume, and steals, but managers should track Edgecombe's continued ramp-up.

Paul George • SF • 76ers

Paul George Questionable Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. Philadelphia begins a back-to-back on Thursday, and it appears certain that George will miss at least one of the games. Since his season debut, George has seen limited action and played only 18 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Washington Wizards. He is averaging 13.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.8 steals in 22.2 minutes per game. Justin Edwards could return to the starting lineup if George doesn't play, giving him more fantasy appeal.

Dec 4

Joel Embiid • C • 76ers

Joel Embiid Unlikely to Play Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has been listed as doubtful for Thursday's clash against the Golden State Warriors, indicating that he is likely to miss a second consecutive game. Due to knee issues, the former MVP has taken the court just seven times this season, averaging 19.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.4 steals. Embiid's absence means fantasy managers can continue to keep faith in Andre Drummond, who has posted seven double-doubles in his 10 starts this season. Golden State ranks 25th in rebounding rate, making it a favorable fantasy matchup for Drummond.

Dec 4

Quentin Grimes • SG • 76ers

Quentin Grimes Unavailable on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Washington Wizards. He started the day off with a probable tag, but has now been downgraded to out. Grimes played 47 minutes during the double-overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks. It appears Grimes picked up the injury during that game, but should be considered day-to-day for now. Justin Edwards and Jared McCain should split up the playing time with Grimes unavailable. McCain is the more appealing streaming option between the two due to his scoring ability. McCain has scored 15 points or more in three of his last five games.
