Fantasy Impact: It is no surprise that Embiid signed a max extension with the Sixers heading into the 2024 season. Embiid will remain a top-three option at the center position throughout the season if he can stay healthy. Combined with up-and-coming Tyrese Maxey, Embiid and his young point guard will look to make a push for the NBA finals.

Adem Bona has agreed on a four-year, $8 million rookie contract with the 76ers. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The No. 41 overall pick has averaged 6.3 points, 6 rebounds, 4 blocks in 22.7 minutes per night so far in 76ers’ Summer League action. He is one of the best defenders in this rookie class.

The 76ers re-signed Kyle Lowry on a one-year deal. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lowry played in 23 games last season with the 76ers. He is unlikely to hold much fantasy value with the addition of Jared McCain.

Tyrese Maxey has signed a 5-year, $204 million deal with the 76ers. This comes on the heels of Paul George signing a four-year deal with the team just hours earlier. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Maxey broke out in a big way in the 2023-24 season after James Harden’s departure from the team. He had a career-high 25.9 points per game last season along with nearly doubling his per-game average in assists on his way to winning the 2023-24 NBA Most Improved Player award. With Paul George now on the team, it will be interesting to see where Maxey fits in on the pecking order and if he can maintain the kind of role he had last season. One way or another, Philly is gearing up to be a serious title contender.

Mo Bamba is expected to draw interest from contending teams on the veteran’s minimum market in need of center depth. (Source: Evan Sidery on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Bamba has seen his shooting ability from deep improve over the course of his career. He'll likely remain off the fantasy radar.

Former Kentucky G Justin Edwards has agreed to a two-way NBA deal with the 76ers. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Edwards averaged 8.8 points per game on 49 percent shooting from the field in his freshman season at Kentucky. He'll get a chance to compete in the Summer League in July with the 76ers.

The Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz are expected to show interest in free agent Tobias Harris. (Source: Ian Begley)

Fantasy Impact: It appears likely that Harris will be leaving the 76ers in free agency after playing the past six seasons in Philadelphia. He averaged over 17 points and six rebounds per game this past season.

De’Anthony Melton is expected to command a solid market of interested teams in unrestricted free agency this offseason. (Source: Evan Sidery on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Melton averaged a career-high 11 points per game this season on 36 percent shooting from deep. He also continues to showcase his ability on the defensive end of the court, averaging over one steal in every year of his career. The Hornets, Magic and Spurs are all rumored to be interested in Melton in free agency.

KJ Martin Jr. is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Martin missed the final three games of the regular season for the 76ers. He likely won't have a huge role if he is cleared.

The Philadelphia 76ers are converting two-way G/F Ricky Council IV on a new four-year, $7.4 million NBA contract. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Council has averaged 5.7 points in 9.3 minutes over 30 games. He should remain in a very limited role in the playoffs for the 76ers.

Buddy Hield scored 18 points (6-12 FG, 5-9 3PT, 1-2 FT) to go along with six rebounds in the 76ers 120-102 win over the Pistons.

Fantasy Impact: Hield posted his best scoring performance in close to two months. He'll remain off the fantasy radar the rest of the regular season this week.

Paul Reed scored 12 points with nine rebounds, an assist, and a block in the Sixers 109-105 win over the Thunder on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact: Despite Joel Embiid returning to the lineup, Reed still had a useable stat line in the game. He may not put up quite the numbers he had when Embiid was out, but he’s not going away completely either.

Cameron Payne scored 23 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with five rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks in the 76ers 121-107 win over the Clippers.

Fantasy Impact: Payne was one of three players to score over 20 points on the night for the 76ers. He recorded his season-high in points in the win. Payne may see his minutes take a slight hit on Monday with Kyle Lowry expected to make his return to the rotation.

Robert Covington (knee) will be out again for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: As expected, Covington will not be available to play on Monday. He has been out for a large chunk of the season so far, and at this point, he carries nearly no fantasy value. He has been practicing in a limited fashion recently, so it's possible that he will return to the lineup before the season is over.

The Philadelphia 76ers are signing guard Jeff Dowtin Jr. to a two-way NBA deal. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Dowtin has averaged 21.4 points and 7 assists in last 12 G League games. He'll look to hold a role in the rotation with the 76ers, but likely won't be fantasy relevant.

The 76ers are trading Jaden Springer to the Celtics for a second-round pick. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Springer recently saw his first start of the season with the 76ers. He remains off the fantasy radar, but should help Boston defensively.

The Detroit Pistons have waived Danuel House Jr. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: House was moved from the 76ers to the Pistons a few hours ago. He could garner more fantasy value depending on where he lands. Ausar Thompson should continue to see more minutes as a result with Detroit.

Milwaukee is acquiring Patrick Beverley from the 76ers for Cam Payne and a second-round pick. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Beverley saw some starts recently with Tyrese Maxey missing time. He'll be a nice veteran addition to the Bucks team, but remains off the fantasy radar playing behind Damian Lillard.
