Quentin Grimes Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes (illness) is questionable for Friday night's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Grimes, alongside Dominick Barlow and VJ Edgecombe, were all sick and missed Tuesday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. Grimes could return soon, though, as he was present for the team's shootaround Friday morning. Grimes has shifted in and out of the starting lineup recently, and his playing time is largely predicated on the health of Philadelphia's other guards. Grimes, however, has not shot the ball well recently (27.9% over his last five games), despite increased opportunities.

Philadelphia 76ers guards VJ Edgecombe (illness) and Quentin Grimes (illness) won't suit up on Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Both players are battling an illness and will have their first chance to return on Friday against the Chicago Bulls. With the two unavailable, this could be a big night for Jared McCain. The 21-year-old sophomore has mostly been an afterthought this season, but he has built up some momentum recently, and there shouldn't be an issue getting minutes on Tuesday.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Quentin Grimes (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn. Grimes got the start in Saturday's win over the Dallas Mavericks, finishing with six points, seven assists, and two steals. He still has a chance to start on Tuesday if Dominick Barlow (illness) isn't available. However, if both players are cleared to suit up, Grimes will likely head back to the bench, decreasing his fantasy upside for the favorable meeting with the Nets.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Quentin Grimes has been named a starter for Saturday's clash against the Dallas Mavericks. After making back-to-back starts, Grimes was back in the second unit on Friday night against the New York Knicks. However, Paul George's (knee) absence on Saturday has reopened the door for him to return to the starting lineup. As a starter, Grimes has averaged 13.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 5.5 assists in 36.7 minutes this season. Philadelphia is in a pace-up spot on Saturday, making this a good fantasy matchup for Grimes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shams Charania of ESPN reports that free agent guard Quentin Grimes is signing a one-year, $8.7 million qualifying offer to return to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Initial negotiations between Grimes and the 76ers appeared to be off track during the offseason. Nonetheless, the 22-year-old will now head into the upcoming season with a new contract that includes a no-trade clause. Now that he is on board, it is unclear if he will suit up for any preseason games. Grimes started the last campaign with the Mavs and was traded to the 76ers back in February. In Philadelphia, he averaged 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals per contest while shooting 37.3 percent from three-point range across 28 appearances.

According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, "there has been no tangible movement" regarding contract discussions between restricted free-agent guard Quentin Grimes and the Philadelphia 76ers. Not many teams in the National Basketball Association have the funds available to sign players, with the Warriors and forward Jonathan Kuminga still engaged in a stalemate surrounding a deal. Philadelphia and Grimes are in the same boat, although it appears both sides want to continue their relationship. Fischer added that Philly may try and move Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andre Drummond to "create some additional financial flexibility" in order to make re-signing Grimes "more comfortable." The 2021 No. 25 overall pick has bounced around the NBA since being drafted. However, he finally found his footing with the Sixers by averaging a career-high 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals in 28 games. While Grimes was more productive due to the collective absences of Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Paul George, his play elevated his stock heading into the summer. Now it will be up to the organization to give Grimes the money he thinks he deserves. If not, he could end up playing out the 2025 campaign on a qualifying offer before hitting free agency next offseason.
