Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 11:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Trendon Watford (adductor) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Watford has been out since suffering a strained adductor during a November 25 game against the Magic. However, with 76ers head coach Nick Nurse saying on Saturday that he's ready to play 5-on-5 in practice, Watford may not have to wait much longer to resume playing in games. |

Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre (knee) ruled out Monday vs. Denver
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 11:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kelly Oubre (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Oubre will miss another game, but a return to action may not be far away. Ahead of Saturday's win over the Knicks, 76ers head coach Nick Nurse said that Oubre and Trendon Watford (adductor) are ready to play 5-on-5 in practice. For most players, that tends to be one of the final thresholds to cross before being cleared to play in games. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knees) probable Monday vs. Denver
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 11:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knees) is probable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: While the 76ers continue to list Embiid on injury reports, he has been available for six of the team's last seven games. And with the probable tag, âThe Processâ is likely to be on the floor Monday night. If Embiid cannot play, Andre Drummond may start, but Adem Bona has played more minutes recently. |

Paul George Paul George hits three triples, scores 15 points
Sat, Jan 3, 2026, 4:08 PM
Paul George accounted for 15 points (5-of-11 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: George wasn't a prolific scorer in Saturday's victory, but he hit two three-pointers early in the third quarter that would help Philadelphia tighten its grip on the game. PG shot the ball relatively well and provided solid value in rebounds, assists, steals and three-pointers. For the season, George is providing top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (83). The 76ers open a four-game Week 12 on Monday against the Nuggets. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid posts 26/10/5 stat line vs. New York
Sat, Jan 3, 2026, 4:07 PM
Joel Embiid tallied 26 points (9-of-15 FGs, 8-of-12 FTs), 10 rebounds and five assists in Saturday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Embiid had himself a night in New York, recording his third double-double of the season and second in his last three appearances. Due to the loss of athleticism, he's unlikely to offer much fantasy value as a shot-blocker, but the offensive tools remain. Not only does a healthy Embiid benefit fantasy managers, but he makes the 76ers a legitimate factor in the East. The 76ers play four games in Week 12. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey torches Knicks for game-high 36 pts
Sat, Jan 3, 2026, 4:07 PM
Tyrese Maxey finished Saturday's win over the Knicks with 36 points (14-of-22 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, two blocks and six three-pointers.
Analysis: The 76ers and Knicks have met twice this season, and New York has failed to find an answer for Maxey in both meetings. The 76ers point guard ends Week 11 on a heater, having scored at least 34 points in three consecutive games. Maxey has ranked among the most valuable players in fantasy basketball regardless of league format, and that shouldn't change anytime soon. Philadelphia plays four games in Week 12, starting with the Nuggets on Monday. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) available Saturday vs. New York
Sat, Jan 3, 2026, 1:02 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Embiid's status has been upgraded after the 76ers initially listed him as probable for Saturday's game. He'll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Andre Drummond once again coming off the bench. |
|
Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre (knee) out Saturday vs. New York
Fri, Jan 2, 2026, 11:05 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kelly Oubre (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Oubre has not appeared in a game since November 14, and it's unknown when he'll be able to return. The 76ers will continue to rely on Quentin Grimes for wing production off the bench, and he's worth rostering in deep leagues. Also, Dominick Barlow will remain in the starting lineup. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) probable Saturday vs. New York
Fri, Jan 2, 2026, 11:01 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: With the probable tag, Embiid is on track to be available for Saturday's game after missing the first meeting between the 76ers and Knicks. Andre Drummond will remain the backup, with Adem Bona likely getting some run off the bench as well. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes hits five triples, scores 19 points
Thu, Jan 1, 2026, 4:57 PM
Quentin Grimes accumulated 19 points (7-of-9 FGs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, three blocks and five three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: Less than a year after he was dealt from Dallas to Philadelphia, Grimes hit five three-pointers on a night when the player he was traded for (Caleb Martin) played four minutes. When he's on, Grimes can provide solid late-round value despite coming off the bench. Over the past two weeks, he has been a 12th-round player in eight-cat formats. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid posts 22 points, six assists vs. DAL
Thu, Jan 1, 2026, 4:55 PM
Joel Embiid recorded 22 points (9-of-18 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, six assists and one block in Thursday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: Embiid has now played at least 30 minutes in each of his last seven appearances. While that may not be a big deal for most players, it is for the former MVP, as he continues to labor through ankle and knee issues. The six assists that Embiid recorded on Thursday were two shy of his season-high, which was recorded in Tuesday's win over the Grizzlies. He'll look to end Week 11 on a high note when the 76ers visit the Knicks on Saturday. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey goes for 34 points, 10 assists
Thu, Jan 1, 2026, 4:54 PM
Tyrese Maxey finished Thursday's win over the Mavericks with 34 points (14-of-24 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, two blocks and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Back in his hometown, Maxey recorded his eighth career 30-point, 10-assist game and second in as many appearances. The 76ers guard has been outstanding this season, providing top-5 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Even with the availability concerns of Joel Embiid and Paul George (14/7/2/1), the 76ers have managed to stay afloat, thanks in part to Maxey. Now, with those two healthy, the 76ers appear poised to be a factor in the East. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (ankle, knee) probable vs. Dallas
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 12:05 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (ankle, knee) is probable to play against the Mavericks on Thursday.
Analysis: After playing a season-high 38 minutes in Tuesday's win, Embiid is expected to be available against Dallas. He had 34 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in that game and will look to stay hot in a matchup with Anthony Davis. |

Tyrese Maxey Maxey finishes with 34 points, 12 assists vs. MEM
Tue, Dec 30, 2025, 5:08 PM
Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 34 points (13-of-21 FGs), four rebounds, 12 assists, two steals and four three-pointers against the Grizzlies on Tuesday.
Analysis: After a subpar three-game stretch, Maxey got back on track in this one. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the 76ers' three-game losing streak ended as a result. This was only Maxey's third double-double of the season and his first since October. The points have been consistent, but he hasn't been a consistently elite playmaker like he was in this game. He'll look to carry this offensive production into a matchup with the Mavericks on Thursday. |

Joel Embiid Embiid stars with 34/10/8/1/2 line in OT win
Tue, Dec 30, 2025, 5:03 PM
Joel Embiid lit up the Grizzlies on Tuesday with 34 points (11-of-28 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer in a 139-136 overtime win.
Analysis: After missing Sunday's game, Embiid was back in the lineup for this one. Despite battling his typical knee issues, an ankle injury and an illness, Embiid was able to score at least 30 points for the third time this season and for a second straight game. Embiid hasn't been as aggressive on the glass this year, and this was only his second double-double this season. He also played a season-high 38 minutes and was still able to hit some big shots down the stretch. Assuming his body responds well, this is all great to see from Embiid. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (ankle, illness) available vs. Memphis
Tue, Dec 30, 2025, 1:32 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (ankle, illness) is available to play against the Grizzlies on Tuesday.
Analysis: Following a one-game absence, Embiid will be back in the lineup to take on Memphis. Along with his typical knee issues, he has also been dealing with a right ankle sprain and was also listed with an illness for this game. His return will push Andre Drummond back to the bench and take away minutes from Adem Bona. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (ankle, knee) questionable Tuesday
Mon, Dec 29, 2025, 12:11 PM
Joel Embiid (ankle, knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: The latest development for Embiid is that the 31-year-old center has added a right ankle sprain to his various ailments. If he can overcome his right ankle and right knee issues, he could return against the Grizzlies Tuesday. If not, Andre Drummond will start in his place again. |

Tyrese Maxey Maxey scores 28 points in blowout loss to Thunder
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 12:05 PM
Tyrese Maxey finished with a team-high 28 points (10-of-18 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), two rebounds, five assists and four steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's lopsided defeat at the hands of the Thunder.
Analysis: Maxey was one of the few bright spots for Philadelphia in this one as the Thunder threw a variety of defenders at him but were still unable to contain the speedy scoring threat. The 25-year-old guard finished just shy of another 30-point performance despite going just 2-of-7 from three-point range. He's clearly taken over as the 76ers primary building block moving forward and has delivered first-round value for fantasy purposes, averaging 30.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.9 blocks through 28 games this season. Philadelphia is on the road for three games this upcoming week with matchups against the Grizzlies, Mavericks and Knicks. |

Paul George George drains four three-pointers in blowout loss
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 12:03 PM
Paul George posted 12 points (4-of-11 FGs), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: George knocked down four three-pointers but wasn't much of a threat against his former organization as the Thunder's athleticism and depth proved to be a mismatch for the 76ers all night. The 35-year-old veteran forward has failed to break 20 points in four consecutive games since erupting for a season-high 35 against the Hawks back on December 14. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) available vs. Oklahoma City
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 9:02 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is available to play against the Thunder on Sunday.
Analysis: George was initially listed as probable, so it isn't surprising that he'll suit up against his former team. George has shot worse than 40 percent in each of his last three appearances and will look to get back on track in this one. |
