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 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 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 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 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.

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.

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.

Paul George • SF • 76ers

Paul George Available to Play on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee, back) is officially available to suit up ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. George continues to carry a questionable tag, but has been able to suit up in each of the last three games. The veteran forward has been dealing with a couple of injuries, but continues to play through them. He recorded a season-high five steals to go along with 16 points and seven rebounds during Sunday's game. George should see nearly 30 minutes of action with Quentin Grimes (calf) remaining on the sideline. Fantasy managers should double-check that George is in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Quentin Grimes Downgraded to Questionable on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes (calf) was downgraded from probable to questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards. He had started three straight games but returned to the bench on Sunday in the Sixers' double-overtime loss. He played a massive 47 minutes in that game and turned in a nice double-double with 28 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and two steals. Grimes averaged 17.0 points, 4.3 assists, and 3.8 rebounds in his 33.1 minutes per contest over 19 games this season. If Grimes ends up missing Tuesday's game, Jared McCain and Justin Edwards would likely split up his minutes and usage.

Paul George Listed as Questionable for Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee, back) once again has a questionable designation on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. Since he made his season debut last month, George has played in five of Philadelphia's seven games. On Tuesday, he might be sidelined again as George is battling a lower back issue, in addition to his left knee injury, which required surgery in the summer. VJ Edgecombe, Jared McCain, and Quentin Grimes (calf) get more scoring opportunities without George, especially with Joel Embiid (knee) already ruled out for Tuesday night. Grimes is expected to play despite dealing with calf soreness.

Joel Embiid Won't Play Against Wizards

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) won't suit up for Tuesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. On Sunday, Embiid returned from a nine-game absence in a loss to the Atlanta Hawks. He finished a double-overtime game with 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, one block, and one steal in 30 minutes. Andre Drummond (knee) has previously provided solid fantasy production during Embiid's absence, but he might also miss Tuesday's game after getting hurt against the Hawks. As a result, we could see a big night from Adem Bona in a favorable matchup against a squad that allows the most fantasy points in the league to centers.

Andre Drummond • C • 76ers

Andre Drummond Leaves Early, Status Now in Question

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (knee) exited Sunday's game against Atlanta after six minutes and did not return, leaving his status for upcoming contests unclear. Drummond has been productive recently with 8.8 points, 14.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks across his last five full outings, so any absence would open a path for second-year big Adem Bona. Bona logged 22 minutes with four points, three rebounds, and two blocks on Sunday and profiles as a deeper-league stream for defensive stats if Drummond misses time.

Andre Drummond • C • 76ers

Andre Drummond Available Versus Atlanta

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (knee) will play on Sunday versus the Hawks. He was listed as questionable, although the knee contusion won't be enough to keep him off the floor. However, with Joel Embiid (knee) returning from his nine-game absence, Drummond will head back to the bench, significantly lowering his fantasy ceiling.

VJ Edgecombe • SG • 76ers

VJ Edgecombe Cleared to Suit Up on Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers forward VJ Edgecombe (hamstring) will play on Sunday against Atlanta after missing the last three games. The rookie has played well in his inaugural year, averaging 15.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 36.6% from behind the arc. He'll be back on a night when Joel Embiid (knee) will return from his nine-game absence. All things considered, Edgecombe should be plugged back into all fantasy lineups, with Quentin Grimes, who had 19 points in Friday's NBA Cup win over the Nets, heading back to the bench.

Joel Embiid Back on Sunday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will play on Sunday versus the Atlanta Hawks after missing the last nine games. He'll likely see fewer minutes than usual. However, the 31-year-old will return against a Hawks team that will be without Kristaps Porzingis (illness). With that said, Embiid can be added back into all fantasy lineups despite being on a minutes watch.

Paul George Set To Start Friday Against Nets

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (ankle) will start Friday against Brooklyn after being upgraded from questionable, giving the team a needed boost with multiple wings still sidelined. George has averaged 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists across his first three outings in limited minutes, and his return pushes Dominick Barlow, Justin Edwards, and Jabari Walker into reduced roles. Fantasy managers should expect his workload to climb gradually, but usage volatility persists with Joel Embiid (knee), Kelly Oubre (knee), and VJ Edgecombe (calf) out.

Adem Bona • C • 76ers

Adem Bona Back on Friday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (ankle) will play on Friday versus Brooklyn after missing the last five games because of a sprained right ankle. The 22-year-old wasn't productive before going down with the injury, averaging only 2.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks. With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, he may have had an opportunity for more involvement. However, it's been Andre Drummond making the most of his afforded opportunities, averaging 10.9 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks in eight starts. With that said, Bona could see some action on Friday, although he's tough to trust even with a favorable matchup on the horizon.

Paul George Faces Game-Time Call Against Nets

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Nets after participating in Thursday's practice. A potential absence would again open rotation room for Dominick Barlow and Justin Edwards. Barlow has averaged 7.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.0 assists across his last eight appearances, while Edwards has produced 9.0 points on 47.5 percent shooting over his last nine games. Both profile as deep-league streamers, with Edwards offering the cleaner scoring path if George remains out.

VJ Edgecombe • SG • 76ers

VJ Edgecombe Sidelined Again Against Nets

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets, extending his multi-game absence. His downtime keeps Quentin Grimes in a meaningful role, and the shooting guard has averaged 15.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists across his last five games while shooting 40.0 percent from the field. Grimes remains a solid streaming option for points and threes, while Jared McCain, who posted 15 points in his last outing, offers deep-league appeal as he ramps up.
