Paul George Exits Game On Wednesday, Hyperextends Left Knee Again

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) exited Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies and did not return to the Sixers' 117-111 loss. George hyperextended his left knee, the same one he injured during the preseason. As of now, there have been no further comments from the team on the severity of George's injury, but fantasy managers should prepare for the 34-year-old to miss some time. In his absence, expect Kelly Oubre Jr. to be inserted back into the starting lineup. Oubre has averaged 13.4 points this season, though he averaged 18 PPG during the first five games of the season when George was out. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on George's status going forward and should snag Oubre off the waiver wire if possible.

Tyrese Maxey Active On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) is active ahead of Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Maxey will make his return to the lineup after missing each of the last six games due to a lingering hamstring issue. His return should be a huge boost to the Sixers lineup considering Maxey was producing at an elite level before going down. The expectation is that Maxey will be limited during his first game back in the lineup. Jared McCain will likely see his production take a hit with Maxey returning. Fantasy managers should hold McCain for now to wait and see how he produces with Maxey playing alongside him.

Kyle Lowry To Miss Next Three Games

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (hip) has been ruled out for the next three games. It appears Lowry suffered a right hip strain during Monday's scoreless outing against the Miami Heat. Now, Lowry will be shut down and re-evaluated next week. The Sixers are also without Tyrese Maxey (hamstring), but he's currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest. If he sits, Jared McCain, Eric Gordon, and Reggie Jackson would all continue seeing significant roles in the rotation. McCain is by far the best option out of the bunch in terms of fantasy production.

Tyrese Maxey Upgraded To Questionable For Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) has been upgraded from out to questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Maxey has missed the last six games due to a right hamstring strain. It sounds like he's on the verge of returning which is great news for this Sixers team. Fellow guard Kyle Lowry (hip) has been ruled out for at least the next three games. That means, Jared McCain should see heavy minutes if Maxey and Lowry are both out. McCain has been excellent lately and is someone who needs to be rostered in most formats. Reggie Jackson and Eric Gordon figure to gain minutes as well if Maxey remains out. If active, Maxey might be on a minutes limit during his first game back, so fantasy managers should be mindful of that.

Joel Embiid Will Try To Play On Monday Night

According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, center Joel Embiid (illness) will warm up and try to play in Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The multi-time MVP is under the weather, so he's currently listed as doubtful. However, even if he does suit up, it's unknown how much time he'll spend on the floor. While fantasy managers should still consider Embiid a must-start if he plays, DFS managers may want to look for other options.

Tyrese Maxey Could Return Wednesday Against Grizzlies

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) has been out since November 6 when he strained his hamstring against the Los Angeles Clippers. According to Shams Charania, the star combo guard could return as early as Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. He said there was "optimism" around Maxey's return, so nothing official just yet. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for the injury report on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. In the meantime, Jared McCain will see heavy minutes with Kyle Lowry alongside him in the starting lineup.

Adem Bona Now Available Monday Against Heat

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona has been recalled from the team's G League affiliate and is officially available to play on Monday against the Miami Heat. He was originally sent down earlier Monday morning, but with Joel Embiid (illness) getting downgraded to doubtful, the team wanted to make sure they had another big man on the depth chart. Bona has usually come into the game during garbage time, so he's not much of a fantasy streamer at this time.

Joel Embiid Downgraded To Doubtful On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is trending towards missing his 10th game of the season after being downgraded from questionable to doubtful. The big man is dealing with an illness this time around, which landed him on the injury report on Sunday afternoon. Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) remains sidelined, but Paul George isn't on the injury report for this contest. As a result, Andre Drummond will get the starting nod again with Guerschon Yabusele expected to get plenty of minutes as well.

Joel Embiid Uncertain For Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The superstar center is back on the injury report after only playing two games this season. Luckily, this sounds like a minor issue, so it should only cost Embiid one game at most. If he sits, Andre Drummond would move into the starting lineup while Guerschon Yabusele would see additional playing time off the bench. Drummond would be an interesting streaming option without Embiid on the court. He's a strong rebounder and has been a decent contributor with the Sixers shorthanded lately.

Joel Embiid Will Play More On Friday

According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, center Joel Embiid will play more in Friday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. The multi-time All-Star made his 2024-25 debut in Tuesday's game against the Knicks, finishing with 13 points off a rough 2-for-11 shooting from the field. He also logged 26 minutes, so fantasy managers may see him on the floor for at least 30 minutes on Friday night. While Embiid isn't back to MVP-caliber form, he's still a starting option in all fantasy formats, which is also true for those participating in DFS contests.

Andre Drummond Uncertain For Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Drummond sat out of Wednesday's game due to an illness and is in danger of missing his second straight game. The good news is that Joel Embiid is back in the mix, but he's not at full speed yet. That means, Guerschon Yabusele could see significant minutes if Drummond is unable to play on Friday. Yabusele finished with 10 points and nine rebounds in 30 minutes of action on Wednesday. He's worth a look as a streaming option if Drummond misses another game.

Andre Drummond Out Sick On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (illness) isn't available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. The veteran had been starting while Joel Embiid was sidelined. But with Embiid back on the floor for Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, Drummond had only five points and four rebounds in 18 minutes. With Embiid resting on Wednesday, Guerschon Yabusele should be considered a must-start in all fantasy setups, even more so with Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) and Paul George (rest) out as well.

Paul George Won't Play Versus Cleveland

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) isn't available for Wednesday's matchup with the Cavaliers. The veteran scored a game-high 29 points in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, adding 10 rebounds, three steals, and one block. However, he missed the start of the 2024-25 campaign because of a knee injury, so he'll take the night off before likely getting back in the lineup on Friday versus the Orlando Magic. With Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) and Joel Embiid (knee) also out, Kelly Oubre Jr. Caleb Martin, Guerschon Yabusele, and Jared McCain could all see a substantial increase in fantasy production.

Joel Embiid Sitting On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 2023 Most Valuable Player made his 2024-25 debut in Tuesday's loss to the New York Knicks. However, he had a rough night, scoring 13 points off 2-for-11 shooting from the field. With Andre Drummond (illness) also out, Guerschon Yabusele will presumably handle things underneath the basket and is in line to smash his fantasy expectations.

Andre Drummond Listed As Questionable On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (illness) is listed as questionable versus the Cleveland Cavaliers due to an illness on Wednesday. The 31-year-old veteran has averaged 9.8 points and 8.2 rebounds in 22.5 minutes in the last five contests. The 76ers front court will miss Drummond's presence if he's unable to suit up, especially with Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) being held out for rest. If Drummond cannot go, Kelly Oubre Jr., Jared McCain, Guerschon Yabusele, and Caleb Martin may see their roles increase.

Joel Embiid To See Fewer Minutes On Tuesday

According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, center Joel Embiid (knee, suspension) will play between 25-30 minutes in Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. He hasn't played all season, so it will likely take him a few games before he logs his usual allotment of minutes. With that said, Embiid is still a must-start. However, there should still be room for Andre Drummond to remain involved enough for fantasy managers to consider him a starting option in all formats.

Joel Embiid Officially Active For Debut On Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee, suspension) isn't listed on the injury report, meaning he will play on Tuesday against the New York Knicks. The 30-year-old wasn't ready to suit up to begin the 2024-25 campaign. However, while ready was ready to go, he missed the last three games after he was suspended for a locker room altercation with a reporter. Of course, there's a good chance Embiid will see fewer minutes than usual in his first game of the year, so Andre Drummond may have fantasy value for at least a few more games. Yet, the same can't be said for Guerschon Yabusele, who could have a tough time getting on the floor with Embiid and Drummond in the mix.

Tyrese Maxey Expected Back Before End Of November

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the team's Wednesday night contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. At the time, it was considered to be minor, but the star combo guard will miss multiple weeks. According to Brett Siegel, the team is "optimistic" that Maxey will be back before the end of month and his absence shouldn't be dragged out like Joel Embiid's (knee). In the meantime, Kyle Lowry, Jared McCain, and Eric Gordon will all see some added minutes.

Tyrese Maxey Expected To Miss Multiple Weeks With Hamstring Injury

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a right hamstring injury obtained in Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Maxey played through three quarters in Wednesday's game but did not come back for the fourth quarter and was ruled out with hamstring soreness. Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse initially said Maxey not returning was "precautionary" and didn't seem worried, however today's news shows much more concern. Maxey has carried the Sixers' offense to start the season, averaging 27.6 PPG while Philadelphia's other oft-injured stars Joel Embiid and Paul George fight back from their own injuries. Philadelphia has taken a very cautious approach to re-inserting those two into the lineup and it should be expected they'll take a similar approach with Maxey to maximize their health for the playoffs. In Maxey's absence, expect Kyle Lowry to take the reins as starting point guard. Lowry should be on all fantasy manager's radars and should drive value for them through assists and three point shooting.

Tyrese Maxey Makes Precautionary Exit Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) didn't finish Wednesday's game against the Clippers. He sat out the entire fourth quarter, finishing with 12 points on 5-for-13 shooting in 32 minutes. Luckily, 76ers head coach Nick Nurse called Maxey's exit "precautionary" after the game. It was announced that Maxey is dealing with hamstring soreness, which doesn't sound like a serious issue. He gets Thursday off before Philadelphia faces the Lakers on Friday night. Maxey will likely land on the injury report ahead of the game, but it's possible he will remain in the lineup. However, if he can't play, Kyle Lowry will run the Sixers offense.
