Paul George Paul George (knee) out Monday vs. Charlotte
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 11:09 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: George will sit out Monday's game due to left knee injury management, and the change in start time may have been a factor. The game will start at 3 PM Eastern instead of 7 PM, cutting down on the time that George and Joel Embiid would have to get their bodies ready. So, both will sit. George's absence may push Dominick Barlow back into the starting lineup, but he isn't worth streaming. However, fantasy managers should target Kelly Oubre Jr. |

The 31-year-old center is out for left knee injury management reasons. Andre Drummond and Adem Bona should handle the center minutes and Embiid should be back Tuesday for the game against the Bucks. |

Charles Bassey Shams: 76ers sign Charles Bassey to 10-day deal
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 3:38 PM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the 76ers signed Charles Bassey to a 10-day contract.
Analysis: Bassey is back with the franchise that selected him with the 53rd overall pick in the 2021 draft. While he himself may not affect fantasy basketball, this is a critical transaction regarding Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker. With the 76ers now on 15 standard contracts, Barlow and Walker can be active for games without concern about the 50-game limit on players on two-way contracts. |

Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre Jr. posts 14/7/3/2 line vs. New York
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 12:03 PM
Kelly Oubre Jr. recorded 14 points (5-of-10 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Oubre had another solid performance for the 76ers, once again showing that he can be valuable to category-league managers. Rostered in 27 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the 76ers' wing has been close to a top-100 player over the past two weeks. With Philadelphia opening Week 15 with a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday, it's possible that Oubre is only available for three games. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey records 22 points, six assists
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 12:03 PM
Tyrese Maxey tallied 22 points (8-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, two steals, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Since being limited to 14 points in a January 14 blowout loss to the Cavaliers, Maxey has scored at least 20 points in five consecutive games. He had an efficient afternoon against the Knicks, but the third quarter was once again an issue for Maxey and the 76ers. He shot 1-of-5 from the field in the frame, and Philadelphia was outscored by a 30-13 margin. The 76ers rallied in the fourth, but the deficit was too big to erase. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid posts 38/11/5 line vs. New York
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 12:03 PM
Joel Embiid accounted for 38 points (13-of-21 FGs, 9-of-12 FTs), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: One game removed from recording his first triple-double of the season, Embiid had another huge day at the office. There was a brief period in which he appeared to be favoring his left leg, but the 76ers' center played 36 minutes. Embiid has looked more like his usual self, but a day off may be in the cards as Philadelphia opens its four-game Week 15 with a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday. |

Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 11:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (ankle) is probable to play against the Knicks on Saturday.
Analysis: Embiid continues to manage lower body injuries, but he should be available to take on New York. He recorded a triple-double on Thursday and played 46 minutes, which is great to see. They'll continue to manage his minutes throughout the year, but he has been a beast when available. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) plays 37 minutes in return
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 3:44 PM
Paul George (knee) finished Thursday's win over the Rockets with 10 points (4-of-9 FGs), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: While George's points tally in his first game back after missing two for left knee injury maintenance, fantasy managers should focus more on the workload. He played 37 of a possible 53 minutes in the overtime victory, which is definitely a positive. And George came up with some big plays in crunch time, knocking down a three-pointer for the first points of overtime and blocking an Alperen ?engün layup attempt that would have tied the game with 1:16 remaining in the extra session. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey goes for team-high 36 points vs. HOU
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 3:43 PM
Tyrese Maxey tallied 36 points (15-of-28 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, 10 assists, four steals and two three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Rockets.
Analysis: Maxey has now scored at least 30 points in 20 of the 41 games he's played this season. And on Thursday, he was at his best when the 76ers needed him most, shooting 6-of-9 from the field in the fourth quarter and overtime. Maxey's double-double was his fifth of the season and first since New Year's Day. The 76ers will end Week 14 with a Saturday afternoon matinee against the Knicks. |

Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre Jr. hits four triples, scores 26
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 3:43 PM
Kelly Oubre Jr. amassed 26 points (10-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Rockets.
Analysis: Paul George's return after a two-game absence did not result in Oubre moving to the bench, as both were in the starting lineup. And Oubre had one of his best games of the season, knocking down four three-pointers and recording a complete stat line. Rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Oubre has been close to a top-100 player in nine-cat formats. At a minimum, those who are already rostering him should hold onto the Tsunami Papi. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid records 32/15/10/1/2 line vs. Houston
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 3:42 PM
Joel Embiid finished Thursday's win over the Rockets with 32 points (10-of-19 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs), 15 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Thursday's version of Embiid may have been the closest that 76ers fans and fantasy managers have gotten to his âvintageâ self this season. The 7-footer recorded his first triple-double of the season, and that included a few key assists to Tyrese Maxey during the overtime period. Embiid has stayed relatively healthy over the past month, and if that continues, he could wind up being one of the steals of the 2025-26 fantasy season. |

Kelly Oubre PHI starts Maxey, Edgecombe, Oubre, George, Embiid
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 12:41 PM
NBA Lineups
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre Jr., Paul George and Joel Embiid will start Thursday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: George is back in the lineup after a two-game absence, but his return does not push Oubre to the bench. For the first time this season, the 76ers will go with the starting five that was projected during the preseason, with Dominick Barlow heading to the bench. Barlow is still on a two-way contract, so Thursday's lineup may become the norm once everyone is healthy. |

NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is available to play against the Rockets on Thursday.
Analysis: Embiid sat out the second leg of the 76ers' back-to-back on Tuesday, but he was initially listed as probable for this one and has now been cleared. He'll occupy his typical spot in the starting lineup, which will push Andre Drummond to the bench. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) available Thursday vs. HOU
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 12:34 PM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: George is available to play after a two-game absence. While he's likely to start, fantasy managers should expect there to be a minutes restriction of some kind. Kelly Oubre Jr.'s fantasy value takes a hit with George available, but he's worth holding onto in deeper leagues. |

NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Embiid did not play in Tuesday's loss to the Suns, sitting out as it was the 76ers' second game in as many nights. Andre Drummond filled the resulting void, grabbing 15 rebounds in 22 minutes, while Adem Bona played 26 minutes off the bench and recorded a double-double. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) questionable Thursday vs. HOU
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 11:05 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: George has missed the 76ers' last two games due to left knee injury management, resulting in Kelly Oubre Jr. moving into the starting lineup. Oubre should be rostered in deep leagues, and he'll have some value in standard leagues if George remains out. |
