Joel Embiid Will Play On Thursday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) will play on Thursday versus the Warriors. The multi-time All-Star has been frequently mentioned in the league's official injury report all year.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Unavailable Against Golden State

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) is ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Oubre will miss his second consecutive contest due to a sprained left hand.

Andre Drummond Out Thursday Versus Warriors

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) is unavailable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors due to a left toe sprain. After suiting up against the Kings on Wednesday, where he was on the floor for twenty minutes, the big man will sit the second half of back-to-back games on Thursday. With Joel Embiid (foot) questionable, Guerschon Yabusele and Adem Bona […]

Paul George Not On Injury Report For Thursday

According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Golden Warriors.

Joel Embiid Listed As Questionable For Thursday

According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors.

The Fastest Path to the Top 50: Fantasy Basketball Statistical Analysis

Kyle Lowry Starting On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

That also means, Eric […]

Eric Gordon Available On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Eric Gordon (face) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Gordon is back in the mix after missing each of the last four games after having surgery on his mouth. Normally, Gordon's status isn't noteworthy, but he should see an expanded role with Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) unavailable on […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Ruled Out On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Oubre was listed as questionable coming into the game, but has now been downgraded to out. The expectation is that the Sixers will use a committee approach to fill the void. Both Reggie Jackson and Caleb […]

Andre Drummond Active Wednesday Against Kings

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) is active for Wednesday night's game against the Sacramento Kings. Drummond is dealing with a left toe sprain but will be able to fight it out. With Joel Embiid inactive, expect Drummond to make an impact on the boards. It will be off the bench, though, as Philadelphia is […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Questionable On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings due to a left-hand sprain. Oubre's late addition to the injury report is not good news for the 76ers, as several of their players are already out with injuries. If the 29-year-old is unavailable, there will be several minutes to absorb, […]

Philadelphia 76ers guard Eric Gordon (mouth) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He's been out for over a week after undergoing minor surgery but could be nearing a return.

Andre Drummond Questionable For Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings. After missing three games with a sprained left toe, Drummond has a chance to make his return.

Joel Embiid Resting On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) won't play in Wednesday's game in Sacramento. He is coming off another monster outing, scoring 37 points in Monday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Kyle Lowry Sits Out Monday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Kyle Lowry will not play against Portland on Monday. The veteran is currently carrying a sore right hip and will miss the action after initially being listed as questionable for the game. Reggie Jackson will likely receive an uptick in minutes on Monday, especially with Eric Gordon (mouth) also out. However, […]

Joel Embiid Upgraded To Available

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) is good to go for Monday's matchup against Portland. He's shaken off a questionable tag ahead of tip-off. The former MVP is coming off a 32-point effort across 35 minutes in a favorable matchup against Utah, and he should also feast against the Trail Blazers. Only four teams […]

Andre Drummond Questionable Again On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) is questionable heading into Monday's meeting with the Blazers. The veteran has a sprained left toe, keeping him off the floor for Philadelphia's previous two contests.

Joel Embiid Uncertain To Face Portland

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers. The sinus fracture is nothing new. However, Embiid's left foot sprain could jeopardize his availability for Monday night.

It’s great to be back in the swing of things in the NBA, RotoBallers. In these articles, I focus on the top plays, traditionally geared toward cash games.

Joel Embiid Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Saturday's contest against Utah. Embiid can't seem to stay clear of injuries and even got hurt during the warm-ups ahead of Philadelphia's Christmas clash against Boston when he rolled his ankle. However, he came through 31 minutes of action on […]

Andre Drummond Sits Out Christmas Action

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) will not suit up for the team's Christmas Day matchup against Boston. He has been downgraded from questionable to out ahead of tip-off. The 76ers have Joel Embiid available, so even if Drummond had been in the lineup, he would only have played a small role in the rotation. […]

Eric Gordon Out On Christmas Day

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Eric Gordon (mouth) has been ruled out for Wednesday's meeting with Boston. After undergoing oral surgery, Gordon will miss a second straight game. He was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest. Gordon, the 2017 Sixth Man of the Year, has played a limited role with the 76ers this season, averaging 5.0 […]

Kenyon Martin Jr. Out At Least Two Weeks

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (foot) suffered a stress reaction in his left foot, an MRI revealed on Tuesday. Unfortunately, he will miss at least two weeks before he's re-evaluated. KJ is having his best season in years, averaging 6.4 points. While that hasn't made Martin a practical fantasy asset in redraft formats, his […]
