Paul George Paul George posts 26/13/2/4/1 line vs. Charlotte
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 3:01 PM
Paul George recorded 26 points (9-of-19 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 13 rebounds, two assists, four steals, one block and four three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: George produced an excellent all-around stat line on Saturday, which was great news for those rostering him. In the two games he's played since returning from his suspension, the 76ers' forward has totaled 54 points, 19 rebounds, six assists, eight steals, two blocks and 10 three-pointers. Describing George as a âleague-winnerâ is a bit strange given his career track record. However, the 25-game suspension has put him in that position since some managers dropped him in the immediate aftermath. |

Joel Embiid Joel Embiid scores team-high 29 points vs. CHA
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 3:00 PM
Joel Embiid accumulated 29 points (8-of-19 FGs, 10-of-13 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: Embiid's ability to get to the foul line was a factor in Philadelphia's comeback victory, as he shot 10-of-13 from the stripe. Add in what the former league MVP was able to do within the flow of the offense, and this was a good end to Week 22 for those rostering Embiid. Philadelphia's four-game Week 23 includes a back-to-back, so managers may only have Embiid for three games. That said, three games of him are better than four games of most starting centers regarding fantasy value. |

Kelly Oubre Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow) plays 28 minutes vs. CHA
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 3:00 PM
Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow) tallied nine points (3-of-5 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, one steal and one three-pointer in Saturday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: Oubre did not start in his first game back from an elbow injury, but the playing time was not an issue. He logged 28 minutes while starter Dominick Barlow (three points and two rebounds) played 15. The question is, how long will 76ers head coach Nick Nurse stick with Barlow as his starter? During the preseason, the expectation was that Philadelphia would go small, with Oubre and Paul George being the starting forwards. However, the combination of injuries and Barlow's play led to him starting. That may change ahead of the playoffs, possibly as soon as Monday in Miami. |

Tyrese Maxey Tyrese Maxey (finger) scores 26 points in return
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 2:59 PM
Tyrese Maxey (finger) accounted for 26 points (10-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: Back in the 76ers' lineup after missing three weeks with a finger injury, Maxey was aggressive from the start. He made his first three three-point attempts and finished with a complete stat line while shooting well over 50 percent from the field. Just as encouraging for fantasy managers was Maxey playing 43 of a possible 48 minutes. Conditioning clearly wasn't an issue for the star guard. Philadelphia plays four games in Week 23, starting with the Heat on Monday. |

NBA Injury Report
Tyrese Maxey (finger) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Maxey is back after missing three weeks with a finger injury, giving the 76ers a welcome boost as they look to avoid the play-in tournament. His return pushes Quentin Grimes ot the bench, limiting Grimes' fantasy value. There has been no word regarding a potential minutes limit for Maxey, but he doesn't need heavy minutes to provide reliable fantasy value. VJ Edgecombe, Paul George, Dominick Barlow and Joel Embiid complete the starting five. |

Analysis: While Oubre said earlier Friday that he plans to play on Saturday, the 76ers are officially listing him as questionable.

Analysis: Oubre Jr. is quoted as saying, âI'm playing basketball tomorrow.â He hasn't officially been cleared to take the court, but Oubre Jr. is on track to return after nearly three weeks on the sideline. Quentin Grimes' playing time could take a hit with Oubre Jr. back in action. |

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. |

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. |
