Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) ruled out Sunday vs. Miami
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 12:06 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Embiid will miss a sixth straight game due to what the 76ers are describing as right knee injury management. Given his history of lower-body injuries, it's unclear when Embiid will be healthy enough to play. Andre Drummond should be rostered wherever he's available until the former MVP can play without any restrictions. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) scores 21 points in 25 minutes
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 5:15 PM
Paul George (knee) accounted for 21 points (7-of-12 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: George came out scalding hot on Thursday, scoring 11 of the game's first 15 points. He remains on a minutes restriction, which nailed PG to the bench in crunch time and the extra period, but he made the most of his 25 minutes. It's unknown when George's restriction will be removed, but Thursday showed that he's capable of providing reliable value immediately. The 76ers host Miami in their final game of Week 5 on Sunday, and it isn't part of a back-to-back. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey drops career-high 54 points vs. Bucks
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 5:14 PM
Tyrese Maxey amassed 54 points (18-of-30 FGs, 12-of-14 FTs), five rebounds, nine assists, three steals, three blocks and six three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: Paul George set the tone for the 76ers on Thursday, but it was Maxey who came through with a truly transcendent performance. Recording his fourth career 50-point game, the 76ers guard finished with a career-high total. Add in the overall stat line, and this was another great night to have Maxey rostered. He's been among the best players in fantasy basketball this season and should be in the running for his second All-Star Game appearance. |

Paul George PHI starts Maxey, VJ, George, Edwards, Drummond
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 1:35 PM
NBA Lineups
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Justin Edwards, Paul George and Andre Drummond will start Thursday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: George is back after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Raptors. He'll serve as the small-ball power forward in this lineup, with Dominick Barlow heading to the bench. While he should remain in the rotation, Barlow is unlikely to get the opportunities needed to impact fantasy basketball. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) will play on Thursday vs Bucks
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 8:46 AM
Adam Aaronson
Paul George (knee) is not listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: George made his debut on Monday in 21 minutes against the Clippers, but then sat out on Wednesday against the Raptors. He'll now return on Thursday and should continue to play minutes in the mid-20s. We should not expect the 35-year-old to play in both ends of a back-to-back for a few weeks, so he will remain off fantasy radars in shallower formats for now. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) remains out on Thursday
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 8:43 AM
NBA.com
Joel Embiid (knee) has been ruled out against the Bucks on Thursday.
Analysis: This is now the fifth straight missed game for Embiid as he battles right knee issues, which is not the knee he had surgery on in the offseason. Andre Drummond will continue to start in his place and be useful in fantasy leagues due to his rebounding and defensive value. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes chips in with 21/2/2/2 stat line
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 3:31 PM
Quentin Grimes finished Wednesday's loss to the Raptors with 21 points (7-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Despite Philadelphia not having Paul George or Kelly Oubre for Wednesday's game, Grimes was still used in a reserve role. Justin Edwards (8/2/2/1 in 23 minutes) was the choice, but after a quiet first half, Grimes replaced him in the lineup to begin the third quarter. Even if George can play in Thursday's game against the Bucks, Grimes has played well enough this season to merit being rostered in some 12-team leagues. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey scores game-high 24 points vs. TOR
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 3:30 PM
Tyrese Maxey finished Wednesday's loss to the Raptors with 24 points (8-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, nine assists, three steals, one block and five three-pointers.
Analysis: Maxey once again led the way offensively for the 76ers, and he remains efficient despite the attention he draws from opposing defenses. Maxey has dropped outside of the first round in 12-team leagues in nine-cat formats, but he has maintained that value in eight-cat. Given the absences in Philadelphia, Maxey's going to turn the ball over more than he has in the past. However, he's managed to keep that in check, committing three turnovers on Wednesday. |

Kelly Oubre Report: Kelly Oubre (knee) out at least two weeks
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 12:49 PM
Tony Jones
According to Tony Jones of The Athletic, Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) is out for at least two weeks.
Analysis: Injured during the 76ers' November 14 loss to the Pistons, Oubre has been diagnosed with a sprained LCL. The good news for Philadelphia is that Paul George made his season debut on Monday, but his playing time will be limited due to injury management. With George unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Justin Edwards steps into the starting lineup. However, Quentin Grimes is the best streaming option with Oubre sidelined. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) officially out vs. Toronto
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 9:41 AM
Derek Bodner
Joel Embiid (knee) has been ruled out against the Raptors on Wednesday.
Analysis: Embiid was initially doubtful, so his fourth straight absence isn't surprising. Andre Drummond should be in line for another start, and he should continue to be rostered in every league as long as Embiid is sidelined. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) doubtful Wednesday vs. Toronto
Tue, Nov 18, 2025, 12:01 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Embiid is on track to miss a fourth straight game due to right knee injury management. Andre Drummond has been the replacement in the starting lineup and will retain that role until Embiid is healthy enough to play. Drummond should be rostered wherever possible. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) ruled out vs. Toronto
Tue, Nov 18, 2025, 11:46 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) has been ruled out against the Raptors on Wednesday.
Analysis: George logged 21 minutes in his season debut on Monday, but he'll be held out against Toronto. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so George should suit up against the Bucks on Thursday. Quentin Grimes or Justin Edwards should fill in as a starter, with Grimes playing a larger role regardless of who gets the nod. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes chips in with 19 points vs. LAC
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 4:04 PM
Quentin Grimes amassed 19 points (6-of-10 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in Monday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: While he wasn't in the starting lineup to begin Monday's game, Grimes was effectively the 76ers' âsixth starter.â Replacing Dominick Barlow in the lineup to start the third quarter, he played 36 minutes, with only Tyrese Maxey, Andre Drummond and VJ Edgecombe playing more. Rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Grimes will be worth holding onto for the foreseeable future. In addition to Paul George's minutes restriction, the 76ers have to navigate Kelly Oubre Jr.'s (knee) absence. Grimes won't lack opportunities, and he's providing top-100 value in nine-cat formats. |

Andre Drummond Andre Drummond grabs 18 rebounds vs. Clippers
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 4:01 PM
Andre Drummond accumulated 14 points (5-of-8 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 18 rebounds, one steal and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: Drummond continues to provide solid value as Joel Embiid's replacement in the starting lineup. On Monday, the veteran center recorded his fourth double-double in as many games and was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Rostered in 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Drummond has provided fourth-round per-game value in nine-cat formats over his last four games. With Embiid lacking a definitive timeline to return, adding Drummond would be a good idea. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) plays 21 MIN in season debut
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 3:59 PM
Paul George (knee) tallied nine points (2-of-9 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: Making his first appearance of the season, George was on a minutes restriction on Monday. Given the time missed, it's unsurprising that he was rusty offensively. However, the veteran wing did provide solid value in the rebound and blocked shot categories. George was used at both forward positions, starting the second half at the four with Quentin Grimes replacing Dominick Barlow (7/1/0/3). Obviously, George's restriction isn't going away anytime soon. And with a midweek back-to-back, fantasy managers should anticipate him sitting out either Wednesday's game against Toronto or Thursday's game in Milwaukee. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey scores game-high 39 points vs. LAC
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 3:53 PM
Tyrese Maxey finished Monday's win over the Clippers with 39 points (13-of-27 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Maxey came up big for the 76ers when they needed him most, scoring 14 of his game-high 39 points during the fourth quarter. There were two turnovers within six seconds of each other in the final minute, but the point guard received some welcome help from his teammates to close out the comeback victory. Even with Paul George back in the lineup, Philadelphia's offense still runs through Maxey, which is good news for those who have him rostered. |

Paul George PHI starts Maxey, VJ, George, Barlow, Drummond
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 12:43 PM
NBA Lineups
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George, Dominick Barlow and Andre Drummond will start Monday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: At long last, George will make his season debut on Monday. He will be under a minutes restriction, so fantasy managers should not expect too much from the veteran forward in his first game back. He steps into the void left by Kelly Oubre Jr., who is out with a sprained left knee. The other change to the lineup is Barlow, who began the season as a starter and will resume those duties with Trendon Watford heading to the bench. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) expected to debut Monday
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 8:11 AM
Shams Charania
Paul George (knee) is expected to make his season debut on Monday against the Clippers.
Analysis: It's unclear if George will face a minutes restriction when he returns, but regardless, his availability will likely siphon playing time from Trendon Watford, Quentin Grimes and Jared McCain. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) ruled out Monday vs. Clippers
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 11:51 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Embiid remains out for a third consecutive game as he recovers from a sore right knee. Given his lower-body injury issues in the past, this is definitely concerning for the 76ers and for fantasy managers. Andre Drummond should serve as the starting center as long as Embiid is out. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) questionable Monday vs. LAC
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 11:45 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: With George being listed as questionable on the initial injury report, this may be the closest he's been to appearing in a game this season. Given the time missed, fantasy managers should assume the veteran forward's minutes will be limited. George's availability impacts Trendon Watford the most, as he's been the most recent starter at power forward. However, with Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) out, Watford's opportunities may not be impacted. |
