Paul George Paul George has 28 points, six threes in return
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 3:45 PM
Paul George had 28 points (11-of-22 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, four steals, one block and six three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: George came back from a 25-game suspension he received after violating the league's anti-drug policy and had a great game in the 157-137 victory over the Bulls. The 35-year-old small forward had 28 points and six three-pointers in the blowout win. With Joel Embiid also going off for 35 points in what was his first game back from injuries, the 76ers have two stars back down the stretch of the regular season. |

Joel Embiid Embiid erupts for 35 points in return as 76ers win
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 3:39 PM
Joel Embiid had 35 points (12-of-17 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and three three-pointers in the 76ers' 157-137 victory over the Bulls on Wednesday.
Analysis: After not playing for almost a month due to various injuries, Embiid was excellent for 28 minutes against the Bulls on Wednesday. The 32-year-old center had 35 points on 17 attempts from the field. With Paul George also returning and scoring 28 points, the 76ers have two big-time players back in the lineup as they approach the playoffs. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (oblique) healthy, starting vs. Bulls
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 12:37 PM
Derek Bodner
Joel Embiid, Quentin Grimes, VJ Edgecomb, Dominick Barlow and Paul George will start against the Bulls on Wednesday.
Analysis: Embiid will return from nearly a month-long absence on Wednesday as the Sixers look to bounce back from a loss to OKC. Philadelphia will also welcome back Paul George, who was serving a 25-game suspension, for the first time since Jan 29th. The return of both players is good news for a Sixers team that could benefit from reps together as the postseason nears. They are currently seventh in the Eastern Conference standings. |

Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow) doing on-court workouts
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 11:28 AM
Tony Jones
Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow) has resumed on-court workouts and participated in Wednesday's pregame shootaround.
Analysis: Oubre, who was diagnosed with a sprained left elbow on March 11, appears to be closing in on a return to action. While he will not play in Wednesday's game against the Bulls, the ability to resume on-court workouts and participate in pregame shootaround is a step in the right direction. Quentin Grimes, who returns to action after a one-game absence, should remain in the starting lineup until Oubre is cleared. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (illness) available Wednesday
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 11:17 AM
Quentin Grimes (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Grimes is set to return after a one-game absence due to an illness. Marjon Beauchamp started and had 13 points in Monday's loss to the Thunder, but will head back to the bench with Grimes returning. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (oblique) questionable vs. Chicago
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 11:10 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (oblique) is questionable to play against the Bulls on Wednesday.
Analysis: Embiid has been sidelined since February, but he could make his return to the floor against Chicago. Though his availability has been spotty, Embiid has been dominant when he has suited up. If he's available against the Bulls, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will lose the streaming value they held. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (illness) questionable vs. Chicago
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 11:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (illness) is questionable to play against the Bulls on Wednesday.
Analysis: Grimes had been on a hot streak as a starter before missing Monday's game against OKC. If he remains out against Chicago, MarJon Beauchamp should get another starting nod. He scored an inefficient 13 points in Monday's loss, but he may be more productive in a more favorable matchup. |

MarJon Beauchamp PHI starts VJ, Beauchamp, Edwards, Barlow, Bona
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 12:41 PM
NBA Lineups
VJ Edgecombe, MarJon Beauchamp, Justin Edwards, Dominick Barlow and Adem Bona will start Monday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: The 76ers won't have Quentin Grimes for Monday's game, as he is out due to illness. Beauchamp moves into the starting lineup, and while the change gives him some deep-league upside, he is not worth the risk as a streamer. The other four starters are unchanged, with Barlow back after having to exit Saturday's win over the Jazz with a sprained left ankle. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (illness) ruled out vs. Thunder
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 12:07 PM
Brandon Rahbar
Quentin Grimes (illness) will not play in Monday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Grimes had been on quite a roll recently, averaging 24.6 points per game over his last five appearances and excelling as Philadelphia's main scorer amidst injuries to several key Sixers. With him unavailable against OKC, Justin Edwards and Trendon Watford could be the ones who soak up most of those vacant minutes. |
|
Dominick Barlow Dominick Barlow (ankle) available Monday vs. OKC
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 11:59 AM
Dominick Barlow (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Barlow sprained his left ankle, left Saturday's win over the Jazz and didn't return. While the 22-year-old small forward was initially listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Thunder, he's available. Trendon Watford could see more minutes if Barlow is limited. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (oblique) to be re-evaluated Tuesday
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 11:36 AM
Derek Bodner
Joel Embiid (oblique) will go through another rigorous workout on Tuesday before being re-evaluated by team doctors.
Analysis: Embiid, who last appeared in a game on February 26, has been working his way back from a strained oblique. According to 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, the 7-footer was on the court for pregame shootaround and some individual drills ahead of Monday's game against the Thunder. Embiid will go through another workout on Tuesday, with intensity ramped up, before he's re-evaluated. Adem Bona has served as the starting center on most nights in Embiid's absence, with Andre Drummond providing depth off the bench. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (illness) questionable vs. Thunder
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 7:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (illness) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Thunder.
Analysis: Grimes is a late addition to the injury report, and that's bad news for a Sixers team that will already be missing Kelly Oubre Jr., Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Joel Embiid. MarJon Beauchamp and Justin Edwards should take on expanded roles, while Jabari Walker and Trendon Watford could see increased run, too. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (oblique) to remain out vs. Thunder
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 11:46 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (oblique) is out for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Embiid's continued absence means the 76ers will continue to rely on Adem Bona and Andre Drummond at center. Bona's status as the starter on most nights makes him the superior option for managers seeking a deep-league streamer. |
|
Dominick Barlow Dominick Barlow (ankle) doubtful vs. Oklahoma City
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 11:31 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dominick Barlow (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Barlow sprained his left ankle during Saturday's win over the Jazz and did not return. While Jabari Walker replaced him in the lineup in the immediate aftermath of the injury, Trendon Watford started the third quarter. Watford offers a higher upside in fantasy basketball, especially if he gets to start. |

Trendon Watford Trendon Watford records 20 points, nine rebounds
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 7:39 PM
Trendon Watford finished Saturday's win over the Jazz with 20 points (7-of-11 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), nine rebounds and four assists.
Analysis: With Dominick Barlow spraining his left ankle during the first quarter of Saturday's game, the 76ers had to call on Watford and Jabari Walker for more production. While Walker (8/5/3/1/1 in 18 minutes) was the immediate replacement for Barlow, Watford started the second half and would finish one rebound shy of a double-double. Add in the percentages and assists, and there's some value to be had in deep leagues if Barlow has to miss time. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes scores team-high 25 points vs. Utah
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 7:39 PM
Quentin Grimes amassed 25 points (9-of-15 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in Saturday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: In the eight games the 76ers have played since losing Tyrese Maxey to a finger injury, Grimes has averaged 22.1 points while shooting 46.3 percent from the field. The overall production during this period has been worth ninth-round value in eight-cat formats, which is suitable for Grimes, given the expectations earlier this season. Even with Paul George's suspension coming to an end next week, Grimes' upside should not take much of a hit because of the 76ers' need for his scoring. |

Dominick Barlow Dominick Barlow (ankle) will not return vs. Utah

Gina Mizell
Dominick Barlow (ankle) will not return to Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Barlow sprained his left ankle during the first quarter of Saturday's game, exiting after playing just four minutes. Jabari Walker has picked up a few minutes in his absence, but Trendon Watford was the choice to replace Barlow in the lineup to begin the third quarter. |
|
Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (oblique) to remain out vs. Utah
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 1:30 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (oblique) is out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: After initially being listed as doubtful for Thursday's win over the Kings, Embiid has been ruled out for Saturday's game immediately. Adem Bona has been the starting center on most nights in Embiid's absence, and that should remain the case on Saturday. |

Andre Drummond Andre Drummond records 13/11/4/1/3 stat line
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 6:42 PM
Andre Drummond accounted for 13 points (5-of-11 FGs), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal, three blocks and three three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: With the 76ers facing a team that ranked 28th in points allowed and 29th in defensive rating, most of the rotation was bound to benefit offensively. Drummond may not have been a prolific scorer, but he made all three of his three-point attempts and recorded a complete stat line. The double-double was his first since March 1, and Drummond has reached double digits in rebounds in three straight appearances. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes posts 27 points, seven assists
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 6:40 PM
Quentin Grimes tallied 27 points (10-of-20 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists and three three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Grimes was one of three 76ers starters to score at least 27 points in Thursday's 139-114 victory, with VJ Edgecombe and Justin Edwards being the others. He's scored at least 27 points in three of his last four appearances, and over the past two weeks, Grimes has provided ninth-round value in eight-cat formats. As long as the 76ers are as shorthanded as they've been, he should be rostered in 12-team leagues. |
