Jabari Walker Shams: 76ers sign Jabari Walker to standard deal
Mon, Feb 16, 2026, 1:30 PM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the 76ers signed Jabari Walker to a two-year contract.
Analysis: Walker, who was on a two-way deal, maxed out his 50-game limit before the All-Star break. This move ensures that he'll be available to play in games for the rest of the season, including the playoffs. While Walker's signing ensures the 76ers of another option in the frontcourt if needed, he's unlikely to affect fantasy basketball. |

Cameron Payne Stein: Cameron Payne signs with 76ers

Marc Stein
Marc Stein reports Cameron Payne is signing with the 76ers for the rest of the season.
Analysis: Payne spent time during the preseason with the Pacers but has played in Serbia since then. However, he is âsecuring a buyout,â which will allow him to sign with Philadelphia. The veteran point guard will provide depth behind Tyrese Maxey, but he won't see significant minutes unless there is an injury in front of him. In that scenario, he may be able to provide decent value in assists. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey scores game-high 32 points vs. NYK
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 4:20 PM
Tyrese Maxey tallied 32 points (9-of-21 FGs, 11-of-13 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: For the first time since January 11-12, Maxey has scored 30 points or more in consecutive games. With Joel Embiid (knee) once again out, the 76ers' point guard did not have enough help offensively. Maxey now heads to the All-Star Game, where he'll be a starter for the first time. After the break, the 76ers play three games, starting with the Hawks on February 19. |

Adem Bona Adem Bona starting with Joel Embiid sidelined
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 1:16 PM
Kyle Neubeck
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre, Dominick Barlow and Adem Bona will start against the Knicks on Wednesday.
Analysis: With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined for a second straight game, 76ers coach Nick Nurse will utilize Bona as the starting center. Andre Drummond started on Monday, but he will come off the bench for this game. Barlow is also back following a one-game absence with an illness, and his return will push Trendon Watford back to the bench. |

Keith Pompey
Dominick Barlow (illness) is available to play against the Knicks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Barlow missed Monday's game against Portland, but he will be back for the 76ers' final game before the All-Star break. Barlow's return should push Trendon Watford back to the bench after he logged 25 minutes as a starter against the Blazers. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (illness) downgraded to out vs. NYK
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 11:50 AM
NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Grimes will miss a second consecutive game as he continues to deal with an illness. On Monday, his absence led to more minutes for Justin Edwards and MarJon Beauchamp, with the latter making his 76ers debut. Neither player should be streamed here. |
|
Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) ruled out vs. New York
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 11:49 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) has been ruled out against the Knicks on Wednesday.
Analysis: This will be a second straight absence for Embiid, and it seems the goal here was to get him a little extra rest before the All-Star break. He should be rejuvenated for their matchup with the Hawks on Feb. 19. Andre Drummond should be in line for another start with Embiid out. |
|
Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (illness) questionable vs. New York
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 12:30 PM
NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Grimes was unable to play in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers, which led to more minutes for Justin Edwards. Also, MarJon Beauchamp played 20 minutes off the bench in his first game as a 76er. Neither he nor Edwards is worth the streaming risk if Grimes remains out. |
|
Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) questionable vs. New York
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 12:26 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Embiid did not play in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Andre Drummond. If the 2023 league MVP can play against the Knicks, Drummond will likely fall out of the rotation entirely. |
|
Dominick Barlow Dominick Barlow (illness) questionable vs. NYK
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 12:22 PM
NBA Injury Report
Dominick Barlow (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Barlow was a late scratch for Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers, as he was added to the injury report about an hour before tipoff. If he's able to play against the Knicks, that would likely push Trendon Watford to the bench. |

Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre records 19 points, six âstocks'
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 6:44 PM
Kelly Oubre accounted for 19 points (6-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, four steals, two blocks and three three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: It may have come in a losing effort, but Oubre produced another solid stat line on Monday. The six defensive contributions were one shy of his season-high, which the veteran wing recorded in a January 11 loss to the Raptors. With Paul George serving a 25-game suspension, there isn't a good reason to leave Oubre on the waiver wire in deep leagues. And Monday's performance will likely get him on the radar in some 12-team leagues as well. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey leads 76ers with 30 points Monday
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 6:43 PM
Tyrese Maxey finished Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers with 30 points (10-of-21 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), one rebound, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers.
Analysis: With Joel Embiid (knee) unavailable, even more of the scoring responsibilities fell upon Maxey's shoulders. He's now scored 30 points or more in 22 games, with Monday's being his first since January 29 against the Kings. Despite Maxey's efforts, the 76ers fell behind big during the third quarter in the final game of their road trip, losing 135-118. Philadelphia returns home for its final game before the All-Star break, Wednesday night against the Knicks. |

Trendon Watford PHI starts Maxey, VJ, Oubre, Watford, Drummond
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 3:39 PM
NBA Lineups
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre, Trendon Watford and Andre Drummond will start Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: The 76ers are without Dominick Barlow and Joel Embiid for Monday's game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Watford and Drummond have been tabbed to fill the voids, and both are worth streaming in deep leagues. |

Dominick Barlow Dominick Barlow (illness) ruled out vs. Portland
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 3:33 PM
NBA Injury Report
Dominick Barlow (illness) has been ruled out against the Trail Blazers on Monday.
Analysis: Philadelphia will be shorthanded for this game with both Barlow and Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined. Trendon Watford should enter the starting lineup in place of Barlow, and he had some decent outings as a starter earlier in the year, giving him some upside as a streamer. |
|
Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) downgraded to out vs. Portland
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 3:32 PM
Gina Mizell
Joel Embiid (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Embiid will miss the final game of Philadelphia's road trip due to right knee injury management. As a result, Andre Drummond likely slots in as the starting center, with Adem Bona serving as the backup. |
|
Dominick Barlow Dominick Barlow (illness) questionable vs. POR
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 3:07 PM
NBA Injury Report
Dominick Barlow (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Barlow is a very late addition to the 76ers' injury report, which is concerning regarding his availability. With Quentin Grimes (illness) already out, the 76ers may have to call on Trendon Watford to start. If so, he would be worth streaming in deep leagues. |
|
Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (illness) downgraded to out
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 2:59 PM
Gina Mizell
Quentin Grimes (illness) is out for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Added to the injury report on Monday afternoon, Grimes will not be available to play in Portland. His absence frees up rotation minutes for the bench, with Trendon Watford potentially taking on more playmaking duties for the bench unit. |
|
Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (illness) now questionable vs. POR
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 10:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (illness) is questionable to play against the Trail Blazers on Monday.
Analysis: Grimes is a very late addition to the injury report and could leave plenty of minutes available off the bench. Justin Edwards should be in line for an extended role if Grimes ends up missing this game, though his upside for fantasy managers will be limited. |
|
Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knee) questionable vs. Portland
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 3:55 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Embiid was also listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's win over the Suns, a game in which he played 33 minutes. Look for him to take on a similar workload on Monday if cleared to play. If Embiid can't play, the 76ers will turn to Andre Drummond to move into the starting lineup. |

Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre has 18/6/2 line in win over Suns
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 6:07 PM
Kelly Oubre had 18 points (6-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: Oubre's had at least 15 points and at least three three-pointers in four of his last five games. The 30-year-old small forward doesn't contribute much in the other categories, but he can deliver some points and threes. Oubre has returned 13th-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. |
