Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey records 35 points, game-saving block
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 4:07 PM
Tyrese Maxey amassed 35 points (13-of-27 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: With Joel Embiid under a minutes restriction and Paul George unavailable, Maxey was once again left to shoulder the offensive workload on Thursday. He had an excellent night, marking the ninth game this season in which he's scored at least 35 points. And Maxey's lone blocked shot was huge, as his rejection of a De'Anthony Melton shot attempt as time expired preserved the one-point victory. While many expected Maxey to provide excellent fantasy value this season, he has exceeded his Yahoo! ADP, providing top-5 value in eight-cat formats. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knees) limited to 25 minutes Thursday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 4:06 PM
Joel Embiid (knees) accounted for 12 points (5-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, three assists and one blocked shot in Thursday's loss to the Warriors.
Analysis: Thursday's game was Embiid's first since November 30, so the minutes restriction was unsurprising. Unfortunately for those who have him rostered, the 7-footer missed all six of his three-point attempts. And until Embiid can get in a solid run of games, managers will have to deal with a lack of sharpness. Don't expect to see him on the court when the 76ers visit the Bucks on Friday, meaning enhanced roles for Andre Drummond and Adem Bona. |

Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre (knee) to be re-evaluated in one week
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 3:02 PM
Adam Aaronson
Kelly Oubre (knee) will be re-evaluated in one week.
Analysis: Oubre has been out since November 14, recovering from a sprained LCL in his left knee. At the time, it was announced that he would be out for at least two weeks, but the timeline will be closer to four at a minimum. In addition to next week's evaluation, there will likely be a ramp-up period for Oubre once he's cleared for contact. His absence has enhanced the fantasy values of Quentin Grimes and Jared McCain, with the former having moved into the starting lineup. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knees) available, will start Thursday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 12:37 PM
NBA Lineups
Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Quentin Grimes, Dominick Barlow and Joel Embiid will start Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Embiid, who was sidelined for injury management reasons, will be available to play against the Warriors. Given the time missed and the fact that both knees have been problematic, his minutes will be restricted. That said, Embiid doesn't need to log 33-35 minutes to provide solid fantasy value. Andre Drummond has a lower fantasy ceiling than he does when starting, but managers should hold onto him because of Embiid's injury history. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes will play on Thursday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 8:17 AM
Adam Aaronson
Quentin Grimes (calf) will be available on Thursday against the Warriors.
Analysis: Grimes missed Tuesday's game with a calf injury, but will be back on the court on Thursday. With Joel Embiid (knees) also likely back on Thursday, there likely won't be high usage for Grimes, but he should return to his normal allotment of minutes. |

Paul George Paul George now ruled out for Thursday's game
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 6:12 AM
Adam Aaronson
Paul George (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: George had been listed as questionable, but will now miss this game. During George's last absence, Justin Edwards started and contributed 13 points in 22 minutes. Edwards may start again, but with Quentin Grimes (calf) after a one-game absence, he will likely take on more of George's minutes. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid upgraded to questionable for Thursday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 6:10 AM
Adam Aaronson
Joel Embiid (knees) is now questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Embiid had been listed as doubtful, but with Paul George being ruled out with his own knee recovery, it seems the Sixers are hopeful to get Embiid on the court and stagger the missed games from their two aging stars. That would obviously mean fewer minutes for Andre Drummond and Adem Bona, with Drummond returning to a reserve role, but don't expect Tyrese Maxey's usage to change much. |

Paul George Paul George (knee) questionable Thursday vs. GSW
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 11:42 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: The good news is that the 76ers are no longer listing the back issue that was included on the injury report for Tuesday's win over the Wizards. George only played 18 minutes as the team continues to manage his workload. If allowed to play on Thursday, he will remain restricted as the 76ers take a measured approach to PG's playing time. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid (knees) doubtful Thursday vs. Warriors
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 11:39 AM
NBA Injury Report
Joel Embiid (knees) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Embiid is dealing with right and left knee issues and appears unlikely to return to action on Thursday. When healthy, Andre Drummond has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and he will retain that role until Embiid is cleared to play. Managers in 12-team leagues should be rostering Drummond. |
|
Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (calf) questionable Thursday
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 11:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (calf) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Grimes did not play in Tuesday's win over the Wizards. His absence led to Justin Edwards picking up additional minutes off the bench and Eric Gordon entering the rotation. That may remain the case on Thursday if Grimes remains out, but only Edwards would be worth a look in deep leagues. |

Jabari Walker Jabari Walker chips in double-double off bench
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 3:51 PM
Jabari Walker provided a boost off the bench with 10 points (4-of-8 FGs), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers against the Wizards on Tuesday.
Analysis: Walker has played a surprisingly large role for a player on a two-way contract, but that hasn't led to much production in the box score. However, that didn't hold true in this game, as he was able to record a double-double for the first time this season. Walker holds some value in dynasty formats, but he shouldn't be relied on in redraft leagues, barring multiple injuries to forward currently in front of him on the depth chart. |

Andre Drummond Andre Drummond records double-double as starter
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 3:48 PM
Andre Drummond recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 12 points (5-of-8 FGs), 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer against the Wizards.
Analysis: Drummond returned to the starting lineup with Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, and he immediately returned to dominating the glass. He needed just 17 minutes to record his eighth double-double of the year. Drummond's value is tied to Embiid's availability, and with a back-to-back coming up on Thursday and Friday, Drummond should get at least one more start this week. Unfortunately, his value takes a big hit when Embiid plays. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey scores 35 points in 29 minutes
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 3:43 PM
Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 35 points (13-of-26 FGs), four rebounds, six assists, four steals, one block and four three-pointers in a 121-102 win over the Wizards on Tuesday.
Analysis: Maxey didn't need long to dominate the lowly Wizards. His 29 minutes were the fewest he has played in a game this season, and he was able to lead both teams in scoring to help the 76ers rebound after a double-overtime loss on Sunday. Maxey also matched his season high for steals. There were questions in the past about how Joel Embiid or Paul George would impact Maxey, but it has become clear this year that this is now his team. |

Paul George Paul George (knee, back) available vs. Washington
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 12:34 PM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee, back) is available to play against the Wizards on Tuesday.
Analysis: George will be available to play in a third straight game despite the initial questionable tag. He played a season-high 28 minutes on Sunday and should be in for a similar workload in this game. Quentin Grimes (calf) is out, so George could see a couple extra minutes. |
|
Andre Drummond Andre Drummond (knee) available, will start
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 12:34 PM
NBA Injury Report
Andre Drummond (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Drummond is good to go for Tuesday's game, but he was limited to six minutes off the bench in Sunday's double-overtime loss to the Hawks. Adem Bona, who played 22 minutes on Sunday, will figure prominently in the rotation despite coming off the bench. Joining Drummond in the starting lineup are Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George and Dominick Barlow. |

Quentin Grimes Quinten Grimes (calf) downgraded to out Tuesday
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 12:30 PM
NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (calf) is out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Grimes is unavailable due to a sore right calf. With the reserve guard having played 47 minutes in Sunday's double-overtime loss to the Hawks, there will be a lot of minutes available. Justin Edwards' playing time should receive a boost, but he has not been consistently productive enough to impact fantasy basketball. |
|
Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (calf) downgraded to questionable
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 8:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (calf) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Wizards.
Analysis: Initially deemed probable on Monday, Grimes' most recent status suggests he's in danger of missing Tuesday's tilt with Washington. With Paul George (knee, back) also questionable, Jared McCain and Justin Edwards should be in line for additional work. |

Quentin Grimes Quentin Grimes (calf) now probable Tuesday vs. WAS
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 12:37 PM
NBA Injury Report
Quentin Grimes (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Due to a sore right calf, Grimes is a late addition to the 76ers' injury report for Tuesday. With Paul George (knee, back) questionable, this could be a spot where Grimes starts if he's able to play. If both players sit, Justin Edwards and Jared McCain will have added importance, with the latter being the player worth streaming in 12-team leagues. |

Paul George Paul George (knee, back) questionable Tuesday
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 11:56 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (knee, back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: In addition to the continued management of his left knee, George is dealing with lower back tightness. While Tuesday's game is not part of a back-to-back, this could be a chance to give PG a little more time off before the 76ers host the Warriors on Tuesday. His availability impacts Quentin Grimes and Jared McCain, with the former logging 47 minutes in Sunday's double-overtime loss to the Hawks. Grimes could start if George can't play on Tuesday. |

Andre Drummond Andre Drummond (knee) questionable vs. Washington

Meghan Triplett
Andre Drummond (knee) is questionable to play against the Wizards on Tuesday.
Analysis: With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, Drummond will start if he is able to suit up and return to being an excellent streaming option. If not, the center minutes will fall to Adem Bona and Johni Broome, with Bona likely to start and be the preferred streaming option. |
