Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey tallies 32/8/5/2 line vs. Indiana
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 4:10 PM
Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 32 points (11-of-28 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and one three-pointer in a 105-94 win over the Pacers on Friday.
Analysis: Though it wasn't his most efficient shooting night, Maxey was able to have a strong scoring performance to help Philadelphia snap a three-game losing streak. It was also great to see Maxey have his first 30-point game since before his 10-game absence with a finger injury. With Joel Embiid (appendicitis) set to miss some time, Maxey will have to take on even more responsibility on the offensive end to carry the 76ers through the play-in tournament. That's just more of what he's done all season long. |

Andre Drummond Andre Drummond posts double-double off bench
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 4:03 PM
Andre Drummond provided a boost off the bench with 10 points (4-of-10 FGs), 16 rebounds, one assist and one steal against the Pacers on Friday.
Analysis: Drummond was once again the backup center behind Adem Bona, but Drummond played 29 minutes to Bona's 19. This was the second straight game that Drummond played a much larger role than Bona despite coming off the bench. This was a strong performance for Drummond, and with Joel Embiid sidelined indefinitely after undergoing an appendectomy, Drummond will be a pivotal piece for the 76ers entering the play-in tournament. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey puts up 23 points in loss to Houston
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 5:52 PM
Tyrese Maxey finished Thursday's loss to the Rockets with 23 points (9-of-20 FGs), three rebounds, five assists and five three-pointers.
Analysis: Maxey played 33 minutes against the Rockets and finished as Philadelphia's leading scorer. The versatile combo guard used the three-point shot to find most of his production on Thursday, while also making some contributions as a passer. While the sixth-year guards' numbers were solid, they weren't exceptional ??" the Sixers will almost certainly need Maxey to perform at a higher level down the stretch of the season, so long as Joel Embiid is out of the lineup recovering from injury. |

Paul George Paul George scores seven points in loss to PHI
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 5:45 PM
Paul George finished with seven points (2-of-8 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in Thursday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: George had one of his least impactful games of the season against the Rockets. He failed to convert any of his five three-point attempts and finished with more turnovers than made field goals on the evening. As a result, the veteran forward tied a season-low in points and scored in single digits for just the fifth time all season. The Sixers will need him to bounce back on Friday against the Pacers. |

Adem Bona Bona, George, Maxey, Oubre, Edgecombe to start
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 1:38 PM
Philadelphia 76ers
Adem Bona, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre and VJ Edgecombe will start against the Rockets on Thursday.
Analysis: Adem Bona gets the start for the injured Joel Embiid on Thursday. Embiid was reported to have surgery scheduled for Thursday due to appendicitis, and while his return timeline is unclear, the Sixers will have to figure out how to win games without the former MVP. Philadelphia is in eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings with three games remaining in the regular season. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid diagnosed with appendicitis
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 9:40 AM
Philadelphia 76ers
Joel Embiid (illness) has been diagnosed with appendicitis and will undergo surgery on Thursday.
Analysis: What was initially announced as an illness by the 76ers is reportedly something far more serious for Embiid. According to the team, the 7-footer is dealing with appendicitis and will undergo surgery on Thursday. Embiid is out indefinitely, and the 76ers will have to account for the likelihood that they won't have the former league MVP for the postseason. Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will have to hold down the fort for the foreseeable future. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (illness) ruled out vs. Houston
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 7:28 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (illness) is out for Thursday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Embiid is out after scoring 34 points in 39 minutes in Monday's loss to the Spurs. Andre Drummond or Adem Bona will move into the starting lineup on Thursday, but neither has done enough to be a must-stream option in active fantasy leagues. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey adds 15 points, eight dimes vs. SAS
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 5:40 PM
Tyrese Maxey logged 15 points (6-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists and one three-pointer in the loss to the Spurs on Monday.
Analysis: Maxey logged 40 minutes on Monday but recorded an underwhelming final stat line. In his lowest-scoring game in over two months, inefficient shooting both inside and outside the arc was a big factor. And while Maxey came close to notching double-digit assists, he committed four turnovers in the process. Monday's game aside, Maxey has played well down the stretch of the regular season. He's constantly been one of the Sixers' best fantasy performers, when healthy. |

Paul George Paul George scores 16 points in loss to Spurs
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 5:33 PM
Paul George tallied 16 points (5-of-15 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and four three-pointers in the loss to the Spurs on Monday.
Analysis: George had his least productive outing since returning from suspension. While he made four of his five three-pointers, he shot just 1-of-10 from inside the arc, resulting in an inefficient night overall. However, even with the mediocre performance on Monday, George's recent play has been encouraging, given all the time he's missed this season. He'll have a chance to finish the regular season strong and potentially help the Sixers avoid the Play-In Tournament. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid has 34/12 double-double in loss to SAS
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 5:27 PM
Joel Embiid finished Monday's loss to the Spurs with 34 points (8-of-19 FGs, 16-of-19 FTs), 12 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Embiid had it going for much of Monday's contest, compiling 31 points and 12 rebounds through the first three quarters. However, a field-goal-less fourth quarter left him and the Sixers without much more offense the rest of the way. Still, Embiid logged his 13th 30-point outing of the season and continues to perform well in the lead-up to the postseason. The Sixers will have some work to do if they want to avoid the Play-In Tournament. They have three regular-season games remaining. |

Joel Embiid Embiid, George, Maxey, Edgecomb, Oubre to start
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 1:40 PM
Philadelphia 76ers
Joel Embiid, Paul George, Kelly Oubre, VJ Edgecomb and Tyrese Maxey will start on Monday against the Spurs.
Analysis: Embiid (oblique, illness) is off the injury report and will return to the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the Spurs. He'll likely match up with superstar center Victor Wembanyama, as the Sixers compete for wins in hopes of avoiding the NBA Play-In Tournament. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (oblique, illness) off injury report
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 1:39 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (oblique, illness) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Embiid is off the injury report after sitting out Saturday's loss to the Pistons, Philadelphia's second game in as many days. His return will push Andre Drummond to the bench. |

Cameron Payne Cam Payne (hamstring) to be evaluated in two weeks
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 1:35 PM
Adam Aaronson
Cam Payne (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Analysis: Payne strained his right hamstring during the first half of Saturday's loss to the Pistons. While his availability does not affect fantasy basketball, it does cut into Philadelphia's depth at point guard. VJ Edgecombe may have to do a bit more, especially when Tyrese Maxey is not in the game. The two-week timeframe means that Payne would not be available for the Play-In tournament if Philadelphia can't earn a top-six seed. |

Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre Jr. starts, struggles vs. Detroit
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 3:41 PM
Kelly Oubre Jr. tallied three points (1-of-4 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Oubre moved into the starting lineup on Saturday, his first start since returning from an elbow injury. And he struggled, shooting 25 percent from the field and not offering much value outside of the rebounds. Dominick Barlow, who moved to the bench, finished with eight points (3-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot in 29 minutes. Philadelphia begins a four-game Week 24 in San Antonio on Monday. |

Paul George Paul George posts 20/5/4/2 line vs. Detroit
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 3:40 PM
Paul George finished Saturday's loss to the Pistons with 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and three three-pointers.
Analysis: George played both games of the 76ers' first back-to-back since his return from suspension, logging 28 minutes in Saturday's defeat. His production was solid, with the veteran forward shooting 50 percent from the field and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Philadelphia's Week 24 schedule includes another back-to-back, with George's availability likely depending on potential playoff seeding implications. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey scores game-high 23 points vs. DET
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 3:39 PM
Tyrese Maxey recorded 23 points (8-of-17 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), one rebound, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Maxey led all scorers with 23 points, but this was not one of his better games. The 76ers guard, who Ausar Thompson hounded for most of the night, recorded just one assist in 33 minutes. Given how many fantasy managers have benefitted from Maxey's production throughout the season, this was a disappointing end to Week 23 for those competing for league championships. For managers whose seasons will be active in Week 24, Philadelphia plays four games. |

Cameron Payne Cam Payne (hamstring) will not return vs. Detroit
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 2:28 PM
Ky Carlin
Cam Payne (hamstring) will not return to Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Payne played nine minutes before heading back to the locker room during the second quarter. The veteran backup has since been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain. His absence for the remainder of Saturday's game may push Kyle Lowry into the rotation, but it does not affect fantasy basketball. |

Kelly Oubre PHI starts Maxey, VJ, Oubre, George, Drummond
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 12:40 PM
NBA Lineups
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre Jr., Paul George and Andre Drummond will start Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: The 76ers have made two changes to their starting lineup, one caused by Joel Embiid (oblique) being out. He's been replaced by Drummond instead of Adem Bona, while Oubre has replaced Dominick Barlow in the starting five. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) upgraded to available vs. DET
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 12:29 PM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: George was initially probable, so the status upgrade was expected. With Joel Embiid sitting, the Pistons should run more of their offense through George and Tyrese Maxey. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) probable vs. Detroit
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 7:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: George is probable for injury management reasons, so he should be good to go for Saturday's matchup. It is part of Philadelphia's first back-to-back since George returned from his 25-game suspension, so the playing time could take a slight hit. However, as long as he's on the floor, fantasy managers will receive good value from the veteran forward. |
