Fantasy Impact: The 76ers have decided that Reese won't play on Monday. He is fully healthy at this point, so it looks like this was just a coach's decision. His absence will open the door for more work for Justin Edwards and Oshae Brissett.

Fantasy Impact: The big man will be available to play on Monday. He has missed some time due to an ankle injury, but it's not expected to be much of an issue moving forward. Fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for him for the foreseeable future.

Fantasy Impact: Lowry’s absence stretches on, keeping his veteran playmaking and scoring off the 76ers’ roster against the Pelicans—his multi-category spark remains dormant with no end set. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues continue to wait, with his impact stalled until a recovery timeline emerges.

Lonnie Walker IV has been ruled out for Monday’s tilt with New Orleans, per the latest update, sidelined after exiting Friday’s game in San Antonio after 11 minutes—his return from a five-game concussion absence—and missing Sunday’s game against Atlanta, with no timeline set.

Fantasy Impact: Walker’s latest concussion setback keeps him off the 76ers’ roster for the back-to-back’s second night, with Philly likely taking a cautious stance—his scoring and rebounding stay on hold amid an uncertain recovery. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues face a prolonged wait, with his role dimmed until he clears protocol.

Fantasy Impact: Drummond’s absence drags on, keeping his rebounding and interior presence off the 76ers’ roster against the Pelicans, while Adem Bona (ankle, probable) gears up to return—his multi-category lift stays sidelined. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can pivot to Bona as a pickup option with Drummond’s timetable unclear.

Kelly Oubre has been ruled out for Monday’s matchup with New Orleans, per the latest update, sidelined since March 12 with a knee injury and no set return timeline. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Oubre’s absence stretches on, keeping his scoring and multi-category spark off the 76ers’ roster against the Pelicans, with Wednesday against Washington as his next shot—doubt looms without practice soon. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues continue to wait out his return, with his impact on hold until he ramps back up.

Tyrese Maxey has been ruled out for Monday’s tilt with New Orleans, per the latest update, sidelined for a 12th straight game with a back issue and no return timeline in sight. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Maxey’s absence rolls on, keeping his elite scoring and playmaking off the 76ers’ roster against the Pelicans, with Wednesday’s clash against Washington looking doubtful too—his multi-category impact remains on hold. Fantasy managers in all leagues continue to wait, with no immediate relief expected for his standout production.

Quentin Grimes will sit out Monday’s game against New Orleans for maintenance, per the latest update, after dropping 26 points (7-of-18 FG, 3-of-10 3PT, 9-of-11 FT), five rebounds, six assists, and one steal in 35 minutes Sunday against Atlanta. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Grimes takes a breather on the back-to-back’s second night amid a packed 76ers injury list, opening minutes for Ricky Council, Jared Butler, Justin Edwards, and Chuma Okeke against the Pelicans—his scoring and multi-category punch step aside. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can look to Philly’s backups for short-term value while he rests.

Oshae Brissett is off Philadelphia’s injury report for Monday’s clash with New Orleans, per the latest update, set to play through right knee swelling that forced him out early in Sunday’s game against Atlanta. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Brissett shakes off the knee concern to suit up for the back-to-back’s second night, riding a six-game run with two starts—averaging 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks in 23.8 minutes—for the 76ers against the Pelicans. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can lean on his modest multi-category output with confidence now that he’s cleared.

Jeff Dowtin Jr. scored 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3P, 2-3 FT) with four rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks in the Sixers' 132-119 loss to the Hawks on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Dowtin had his best defensive game of the season in the loss with a combined five stocks. He's made the most of his uptick in playing time in recent weeks and can be a decent start in fantasy while the opportunity lasts. However, it's tough to see him being a long-term asset for next season once the Sixers get back to full strength.

Ricky Council IV scored 14 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3P, 4-5 FT) with three rebounds, an assist, and a steal in the Sixers' 132-119 loss to the Hawks on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Council has now scored double-digit points in seven of his last eight games. His ceiling is a bit low, but his floor has been fairly stable. He's a spot start at best for fantasy for injury-riddled teams.

Justin Edwards scored 22 points (8-18 FG, 3-6 3P, 3-5 FT) with three rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in the Sixers' 132-119 loss to Atlanta on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Edwards was second on the team in scoring in the loss. The rookie has put up at least 18 points in four straight games. He's not the most stable asset for fantasy, as his playing time depends on the health of guys like Kelly Oubre, but when he has the chance for extended playing time, he's a great spot start.

Guerschon Yabusele filled the stat sheet for the 76ers Friday night, dishing out five assists, recording one steal, grabbing nine rebounds, and scoring 23 points (11-16 FG, 0-3 3PT, 1-2 FT) in a 128-120 loss to the Spurs.

Fantasy Impact: Yabusele continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with four or more rebounds and 11 or more points in each of his last three games. The forward will continue to receive all of the minutes he can handle as part of an injury-ridden Philadelphia starting five, averaging 10.7 points and 5.6 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 16.1% so far this season.

Jared Butler recorded 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3PT, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in the 76ers' 144-137 loss to the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact: Butler had a solid performance tonight, scoring 21 points on 46.7% shooting from the field. Although he's averaging 31.1 minutes per game over his last six contests, his numbers have been too inconsistent to trust, especially with fantasy playoffs underway.

Paul George received injections in his left adductor muscle and left knee on Monday and has been ruled out for the rest of the season. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: This seemed inevitable with Joel Embiid already out for the season and Tyrese Maxey having missed the past handful of games as well. George is expected to be sidelined at least the next six weeks.

Fantasy Impact: Roddy was let go to make room for the signing of Jalen Hood-Schifino. Roddy will look to land in a depth role with another team.

Fantasy Impact: Embiid has battled knee flare-ups and injuries for the majority of this year. Philadelphia started off this year with high hopes after the signing of Paul George but with Embiid missing so much time and George underperforming, the Sixers found it in their best interests to shut Embiid down for the season and let him recover for next year.

Eric Gordon underwent successful surgery on his wrist and will be re-evaluated in three months. (Source: Ky Carlin on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Gordon likely won't play again this season with the 76ers currently missing the playoffs. He averaged 11 points this year when he was healthy.
