Tyrese Maxey To Miss At Least Two More Games

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (finger) is set to miss at least two more games. On Friday, 76ers head coach Nick Nurse stated that Maxey would not be available this weekend against the Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors. However, Maxey was a partial participant in Friday's practice, which suggests that he could be ready to rejoin the action soon. Due to a finger sprain, Maxey has been unavailable for 13 games. Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin Jr. have shared point guard duties during Maxey's absence.

Jalen Hood-Schifino Unavailable Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jalen Hood-Schifino (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. The former first-round pick is forced to exit the lineup due to an illness. Hood-Schifino has made nine appearances with the 76ers since getting picked up in late February, averaging 9.0 points and 2.3 assists in 23.5 minutes. Philadelphia has listed 10 players as out for Wednesday's contest, so the likes of Jared Butler, Justin Edwards, and Ricky Council IV will continue to play prominent roles in the rotation.

Quentin Grimes • SG • 76ers

Quentin Grimes Ready To Rock Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Quentin Grimes (rest) will be back on the floor Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. Philadelphia rested Grimes on Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Grimes has had a spectacular few weeks with the 76ers, averaging 28.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 2.1 steals in March. His run of good form this month includes a couple of 40-point efforts. Scoring should be easy for Grimes again on Wednesday against a Wizards team that gives up a league-high 120.5 points per game.

Joel Embiid • C • 76ers

Joel Embiid "Decision Should Be Soon-Ish"

According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, center Joel Embiid (knee) has consulted with "many doctors and specialists" regarding the plan for his ailing left knee. While a decision hasn't been made about how to proceed with treatment, Nurse expects one "soon-ish." It's been a horrendous year for the 76ers, a team many believed would make a deep playoff run. Unfortunately, that likely won't happen, with Philadelphia barely alive for a Play-In berth. Embiid's health is a big reason for the team's struggles, with the 31-year-old averaging only 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 0.9 blocks, all down from the 2023-24 campaign. Even worse, he was limited to only 19 games, mostly because of a left knee injury. With that in mind, surgery appears to still be on the table for the 2023 MVP. But with the delay in treatment, it seems there's a realistic chance this situation will follow Embiid into next season.

Tyrese Maxey • PG • 76ers

Tyrese Maxey Progressing

According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (finger) has been working out. He's currently wearing a splint on his injured right finger, with the ailment keeping him off the floor for Philadelphia's previous 12 games. Despite the 76ers' disastrous year, Maxey has thrived, averaging a career-high 26.3 points with 3.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.8 steals. Nurse added he hopes Maxey will play in Philly's "final games" of the 2024-25 campaign. However, fantasy managers may not see him back in the lineup until next season. In the meantime, Jared Butler should continue to fill in at the one, with Quentin Grimes anticipated to benefit the most on the scoring end.

Lonnie Walker IV • SF • 76ers

Lonnie Walker IV Available For Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Lonnie Walker IV (concussion) has been cleared to suit up for Friday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. The 26-year-old sustained a concussion last week but will return to the court after missing five consecutive contests. He has played in 10 games for the 76ers this season, averaging 8.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 19.2 minutes per contest. His return will bring some relief to a Sixers roster decimated by injuries.

Kelly Oubre Jr. • SF • 76ers

Kelly Oubre Jr. Remains Sidelined On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) will miss his fifth consecutive outing as the team ruled him out with the same knee sprain he suffered against the Toronto Raptors on March 12. The 76ers are far from the playoff race and are one of the most injured teams in the league at the moment, Oubre likely won't be rushed back for any reason. While he watches from the sidelines, Jared Butler, Justin Edwards, and Quentin Grimes have all been quality streaming options. Since Grimes is likely the most rostered, Butler and Edwards give some good value in scoring and guard stats. Edwards recently posted 19 points, two assists, two rebounds, and two steals in their last game on Wednesday.

Guerschon Yabusele • PF • 76ers

Guerschon Yabusele To Suit Up Against Thunder

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) will play on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has shaken off a sore knee, returning to action after missing one game. Yabusele has struggled to live up to fantasy expectations lately, as his numbers have dropped to 9.4 points and 5.8 rebounds this month. However, since the 76ers are dealing with numerous injuries right now, Yabusele is sure to play a significant role in the rotation. He will start Wednesday's game alongside Jared Butler, Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards, and Oshae Brissett.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Ruled Out Versus Thunder

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) will miss his third straight game on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran scorer has been dealing with a knee sprain, and there isn't a timetable for when he will return. With Oubre on Philadelphia's lengthy injury list, Justin Edwards, Ricky Council IV, and Jalen Hood-Schifino all can take on more significant roles in the rotation. Council IV looks like the best fantasy option of the three, as he posted a double-double two games ago against the Dallas Mavericks.

Guerschon Yabusele • PF • 76ers

Guerschon Yabusele Downgraded To Out

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) will not play in Monday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. The team has downgraded his status from questionable to out. This means that all of Philadelphia's regular big men are down on Monday, which will likely result in Alex Reese, Chuma Okeke, and Oshae Brissett getting plenty of burn. In Sunday's meeting with the Dallas Mavericks, Brissett performed the best out of the three players, posting 13 points, five rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 25 minutes.

Adem Bona • C • 76ers

Adem Bona Misses Monday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (ankle) will not play on Monday against the Houston Rockets. He has been ruled out for a second consecutive game due to a sprained ankle. The rookie big man has exited the lineup following an impressive stint. He has posted 13.8 points and 8.8 rebounds over his past four appearances. Oshae Brissett, Chuma Okeke, and Alex Reese are candidates for an increased workload in the frontcourt on Monday, especially if Guerschon Yabusele (knee), who has been labeled as questionable, is ruled out for the contest.

Mar 17

Andre Drummond • C • 76ers

Andre Drummond Continues To Sit With Toe Injury

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) will miss Monday's action against the Houston Rockets. The big man has been troubled by a toe sprain for quite some time, having played only once in the past four games. Adem Bona (ankle) will also remain out on Monday, while Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is considered questionable for the game, meaning Alex Reese, Oshae Brissett, and Chuma Okeke will have to do the heavy lifting in the frontcourt.

Mar 17

Kyle Lowry • PG • 76ers

Kyle Lowry Still Out On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Kyle Lowry (hip) will not be in the lineup on Monday against the Houston Rockets. Lowry hasn't been in action since Feb. 9 due to a right hip injury, and it's unclear when he will be available again. With the team out of playoff contention, it would not be surprising if the veteran floor general sat out the rest of the campaign. Philadelphia is also without the services of starting point guard Tyrese Maxey (back, finger), giving Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin Jr. a chance to shine in larger roles.

Mar 17

Lonnie Walker IV • SF • 76ers

Lonnie Walker IV Remains Out On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Lonnie Walker IV (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. The 23-year-old sustained a head injury last week and has not yet cleared the league's concussion protocol. This will mark his fourth consecutive absence. Philadelphia is once again short-handed for Monday's game, resulting in expanded roles for players like Jared Butler, Jeff Dowtin Jr., and Ricky Council IV. Quentin Grimes, who is averaging 26.4 points this month, is poised to continue leading the offense.

Mar 17

Kelly Oubre Jr. • SF • 76ers

Kelly Oubre Jr. Sits Out Monday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) will miss a third straight game on Monday against the Houston Rockets. The veteran scorer is struggling to overcome a knee sprain. With Oubre Jr. joining Philadelphia's lengthy injury list, Justin Edwards, Ricky Council IV, and Jalen Hood-Schifino all have the chance to take on larger roles in the rotation. Council IV looks like the best fantasy option of the trio. He notched a double-double in the last game against the Dallas Mavericks and has averaged 14.3 points with 5.3 rebounds over the past four contests.

Mar 17

Tyrese Maxey • PG • 76ers

Tyrese Maxey Unavailable Against Rockets

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (back, finger) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Houston Rockets. The star guard is dealing with injuries to his back and finger, missing an eighth consecutive game. Maxey's next chance to return will be on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, Philadelphia is unlikely to rush him back, as there is nothing left to play for this season. Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin Jr. will continue to split minutes at the point guard position in Monday's game.

Mar 17

Paul George • SF • 76ers

Paul George Shut Down For Rest Of Season

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (groin, knee) will not return to the court during the 2024-25 season. Sources have told ESPN's Shams Charania that George has been ruled out for the rest of the season after receiving injections in his left adductor muscle and left knee on Monday. This means that George finishes his debut campaign in Philadelphia with only 41 appearances. He averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.8 steals in 32.5 minutes. George, who will turn 35 on May 2, signed a four-year max contract worth $212 million with the 76ers last summer. This has proven to be a terrible deal for the 76ers, who are on track to finish a season with fewer than 30 wins for the first time since 2016-17.

Mar 17

Andre Drummond • C • 76ers

Andre Drummond Out Against Dallas

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) remains out on Sunday versus Dallas. The veteran has battled the toe injury all season. But with the 76ers limping to the end of the 2024-25 campaign, fantasy managers may not see him on the floor much the rest of the way. However, with Adem Bona (ankle) also ruled out after amassing 16 points, nine boards, two steals, and a block on Friday against Indiana, Guerschon Yabusele will likely slide over to the five spot. The Sixers also signed Chuma Okeke to a 10-day contract on Saturday, so he will likely see some meaningful work versus a Mavericks team that is also decimated by various ailments.

Mar 15

Justin Edwards • SF • 76ers

Justin Edwards Out Against The Pacers

Philadelphia 76ers forward Justin Edwards (ankle) won't play on Friday night against the Pacers. He logged 22 minutes in Wednesday's loss to Toronto. However, Edwards won't suit up because of a sprained ankle. The 76ers' injury report is packed with names, with Andre Drummond (toe), Paul George (groin), Quentin Grimes (illness), Tyrese Maxey (back, finger), Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee), and Lonnie Walker IV (concussion) also sidelined for this one. With that said, fantasy managers can anticipate increased contributions from Jared Butler, Ricky Council IV, Jeff Dowtin Jr., Alex Reese, and Adem Bona. Oshae Brissett, who agreed to a 10-day contract on Friday, and Jalen Hood-Schifino should also be involved.

Mar 14

Alex Reese • SF • 76ers

Alex Reese Cleared To Face The Pacers

Philadelphia 76ers forward Alex Reese (shoulder) will play on Friday against the Pacers. He signed a two-way deal with Philadelphia at the end of February. Since then, the 25-year-old has appeared in just five games for the club, averaging 3.8 points and 3.6 rebounds. Reese was questionable for Friday's game because of a shoulder contusion. However, he's good to go. Under normal circumstances, the rookie's availability wouldn't mean much for fantasy managers. But with Lonnie Walker IV (concussion), Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee), Tyrese Maxey (back, finger), Quentin Grimes (illness), Paul George (groin), Andre Drummond (toe), and Justin Edwards (ankle) all ruled out, Reese is worth streaming in nearly all fantasy formats. He'll also draw value interest from DFS managers.
