Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown has 30 points in win over Pistons
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 4:08 PM
Jaylen Brown had 30 points (11-of-19 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in the 76ers' victory over the Pistons on Wednesday.
Analysis: Brown had recorded more than 21 points in a game only once over his first six games with his new team. Now he's had at least 25 points in his last two games. Even with the 76ers at full strength, he led the team in points and field goal attempts in the win over the Pistons. Philadelphia's road trip continues Friday against the Cavaliers.
Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid has 26 points, 15 boards in win
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 4:03 PM
Joel Embiid had 26 points (8-of-18 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), 15 rebounds, two assists and one steal in Wednesday's 112-106 victory over the Pistons.
Analysis: With Jalen Duren (hamstring) still out for the Pistons, Embiid had his way in the paint Wednesday. The 32-year-old center had 26 points on 18 attempts, drew five fouls and made all 10 of his free throw attempts. The 76ers have two more games this week, but with two more off days as well Embiid will have a chance to stay in the lineup.
Dominick Barlow
Nurse: Barlow (back) still 'has time to wait'
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 11:38 AM
Derek Bodner
76ers head coach Nick Nurse said Wednesday that Dominick Barlow (back) still “has a little bit of time to wait” but is progressing.
Analysis: Recovering from a stress reaction in his back, Barlow has not played a game this season. The good news is that team officials believe his back is improving. However, Nurse estimated that it will be another 10-12 days before Barlow is cleared to return to the court. His absence doesn't affect fantasy basketball, but the 76ers remain light on options behind Joel Embiid.
Tyrese Maxey
Maxey stuffs stat sheet with 26/4/11/2/2 line
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:58 PM
Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 26 points (10-of-15 FGs), four rebounds, 11 assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in a 126-107 win over the Bulls on Monday.
Analysis: On this revamped 76ers team, Maxey hasn't done as much playmaking as he has in recent years. However, he played the facilitator role well in this game, shattering his previous season high for assists of six on his way to his first double-double of the season. Maxey has been a superstar once again this season, and while his dimes have been down, his scoring and field goal percentage have both been up. The dimes likely won't continue to this level, but he can still chip in from time to time.
Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown finishes with 25 points, 11 rebounds
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:53 PM
Jaylen Brown recorded a double-double on Monday with 25 points (9-of-15 FGs), 11 rebounds, five assists, one steal and four three-pointers against the Bulls.
Analysis: Brown had a quieter performance on Saturday, which was his return from a one-game absence with a knee injury. He was able to get back on track in this one with he second 20-point double-double in his last three appearances. Brown's opportunities may have dropped this year, but when he has his shot going like he did in this one, he's still capable of making a massive impact. He'll look to keep it up in Detroit on Wednesday.
Joel Embiid
PHI starts Maxey, Edgecombe, Brown, LeBron, Embiid
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 1:05 PM
Chris Hine
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown, LeBron James and Joel Embiid will start Monday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Embiid will play after sitting out Saturday's win over the Hornets. With LeBron also available, Dean Wade and Adem Bona will come off the bench after starting on Saturday.
Dominick Barlow
Dominick Barlow (back) to be evaluated Tuesday
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 11:55 AM
Austin Krell
Dominick Barlow (back) will be re-evaluated on Tuesday.
Analysis: Barlow injured his back in the preseason and has not played a game this season. The hope is that Tuesday's evaluation goes well enough for the 76ers to ramp up Barlow's on-court work. His status won't significantly affect fantasy basketball, but the 76ers need interior depth.
LeBron James
LeBron James (sciatica) absent from injury report
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 11:11 AM
NBA Injury Report
LeBron James (sciatica) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: LeBron is back after missing Saturday's win over the Hornets, the second game of a back-to-back. Who he pushes to the bench may depend on Joel Embiid (foot), who is questionable. If Embiid can play, Dean Wade would head to the bench. If Embiid can't play, the 76ers could go without a true center, starting LeBron and Wade together, with Adem Bona on the bench.
Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid (foot) questionable Monday vs. CHI
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 11:08 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Embiid did not play in Saturday's win over the Hornets, as it was Philadelphia's second game in as many nights. The 7-footer remains on the injury report, which is concerning, but the 76ers would likely rather their former MVP miss games now than later in the season. Adem Bona started on Saturday, but the 76ers were also without LeBron James. With LeBron off the injury report, Bona could be headed to the bench regardless of what happens with Embiid.
Adem Bona
Adem Bona struggles with fouls in spot start
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 2:47 PM
Adem Bona recorded two points (1-of-3 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in Saturday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: With Joel Embiid out, Bona moved into the starting lineup on Saturday. Unfortunately, he produced little, as foul trouble limited him to 22 minutes. Jabari Walker, who played 19 minutes, picked up the slack, finishing with 12 points, six rebounds and one three-pointer. The 76ers don't have a back-to-back in their four-game Week 3, so Bona's opportunities are likely to be limited.
Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown (knee) scores 16 in return vs. CHA
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 2:46 PM
Jaylen Brown (knee) accounted for 16 points (6-of-15 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in Saturday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: Back in action after sitting out Friday's win over the Knicks with left patellar tendinopathy, Brown played 38 minutes against the Hornets. Even with LeBron James and Joel Embiid out, the playing time was somewhat surprising, given the injury Brown was returning from. The good news is that Philadelphia's schedule for next week doesn't have a back-to-back. Hopefully, that bodes well for Brown's availability.
Tyrese Maxey
Tyrese Maxey scores game-high 38 points Saturday
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 2:46 PM
Tyrese Maxey finished Saturday's win over the Hornets with 38 points (13-of-23 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and four three-pointers.
Analysis: With LeBron James and Joel Embiid out, Maxey put on a show in Charlotte. The 76ers' point guard finished with a season-high point total, recording his second 30-point line of the season. Maxey was at his best when the Sixers needed him most, scoring 15 points in the fourth quarter. The 76ers play four games next week without a back-to-back, starting on Monday against the Bulls.
Adem Bona
PHI starts Maxey, Edgecombe, Brown, Wade, Bona
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 11:36 AM
Philadelphia 76ers
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown, Dean Wade and Adem Bona will start Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Brown is back after sitting out Friday's win over the Knicks, but the 76ers are giving LeBron James and Joel Embiid the night off. As a result, Wade remains a starter, and Bona starts at center.
Jabari Walker
Jabari Walker, Tacko Fall available Saturday
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 11:27 AM
Christopher Hine
Jabari Walker (knee) and Tacko Fall (quad) are available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: While Walker has missed Philadelphia's last three games, Fall was injured during the preseason and has not seen any action. With LeBron James and Joel Embiid out, the 76ers may have opportunities for Walker or Fall to provide frontcourt depth.
Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown (knee) upgraded to available Saturday
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 11:16 AM
Christopher Hine
Jaylen Brown (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Brown is good to go after sitting out Friday's win over the Knicks. With LeBron James and Joel Embiid out, Dean Wade will likely start again after filling in for Brown on Friday.
Jabari Walker
Jabari Walker (knee) questionable Saturday vs. CHA
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 7:18 AM
Jabari Walker (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Walker has missed the last three games with a knee injury. If he's out again, Adem Bona should start and see plenty of minutes with Joel Embiid (foot) also out.
Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown (knee) questionable Saturday vs. CHA
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 7:16 AM
Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Brown missed Friday's win over the Knicks, which was his first absence of the year. He's questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets with a knee injury. If he's out again, Dean Wade could move into the starting lineup just as he did Friday.
Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid (foot) out Saturday vs. Hornets
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 7:10 AM
Joel Embiid (foot) is out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Embiid had a 10/7/7 line in Friday's win over the Knicks, but he'll sit out Saturday on the second night of a back-to-back. With Embiid out, Adem Bona and Jabari Walker are candidates to move into the startling lineup.
LeBron James
LeBron James (sciatica) out Saturday vs. Hornets
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 7:06 AM
LeBron James (sciatica) is out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: James posted as 20/9/8 line in Friday's win over the Knicks, but he'll sit out Saturday on the second night of a back-to-back. At age-41, LeBron isn't going to play every night, but fantasy managers knew that going into the season.
LeBron James
LeBron James records 20/9/8/1/1 line vs. New York
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:57 PM
LeBron James put up 20 points (8-of-15 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Friday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: James made one of the game's biggest plays, tipping in a Tyrese Maxey miss with 11.9 seconds remaining to extend the 76ers' lead to five. That would be the final margin as Philadelphia moved to 5-1, and LeBron finished one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. At this stage in his career, the days of LeBron consistently providing robust stat lines are likely over. But he remains a valuable fantasy basketball player.
