Quentin Grimes (illness) is not on the injury report for Thursday’s game against the Hawks.

Grimes missed Philadelphia’s last two games before the All-Star break. His return means fewer minutes for Justin Edwards, and MarJon Beauchamp (G League) is likely to be inactive.

Joel Embiid (knee) is out for Thursday’s game against the Hawks.

Embiid missed Philadelphia’s final two games before the All-Star break, and there was hope that he would be healthy enough to play after the break. Unfortunately, that won’t be the case. Andre Drummond should continue to start, with Adem Bona slotting in as the backup.

OG Anunoby (toe) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Pistons.

Anunoby missed the Knicks’ final four games before the All-Star break, with Landry Shamet providing solid value as the replacement in the starting lineup. Shamet should get another start if Anunoby cannot play against the team with the East’s best record.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the 76ers signed Jabari Walker to a two-year contract.

Walker, who was on a two-way deal, maxed out his 50-game limit before the All-Star break. This move ensures that he’ll be available to play in games for the rest of the season, including the playoffs. While Walker’s signing ensures the 76ers of another option in the frontcourt if needed, he’s unlikely to affect fantasy basketball.

Marc Stein reports Cameron Payne is signing with the 76ers for the rest of the season.

Payne spent time during the preseason with the Pacers but has played in Serbia since then. However, he is “securing a buyout,” which will allow him to sign with Philadelphia. The veteran point guard will provide depth behind Tyrese Maxey, but he won’t see significant minutes unless there is an injury in front of him. In that scenario, he may be able to provide decent value in assists.

VJ Edgecombe was named Most Valuable Player of the 2026 Castrol Rising Stars Challenge.

After scoring 17 points in the semifinals, including a run of ten consecutive points, the 76ers guard scored six more in Team Vince’s championship game victory over Team Melo. His two free throws gave Team Vince the 25-24 win in the title game. Thus far, Edgecombe has exceeded expectations in Philadelphia from a fantasy standpoint, providing seventh-round per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats.

VJ Edgecombe finished Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks with 14 points (6-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot.

Edgecombe didn’t have a good night shooting the basketball, as he missed all five of his three-point attempts. Over the past two weeks, the rookie has been a 10th-round player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Edgecombe’s season-long fantasy value has exceeded expectations, with the rookie guard approaching top-75 value. He and the 76ers will look to hit the ground running after the All-Star break, as they’ll have three more games to complete Week 17.

Tyrese Maxey tallied 32 points (9-of-21 FGs, 11-of-13 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks.

For the first time since January 11-12, Maxey has scored 30 points or more in consecutive games. With Joel Embiid (knee) once again out, the 76ers’ point guard did not have enough help offensively. Maxey now heads to the All-Star Game, where he’ll be a starter for the first time. After the break, the 76ers play three games, starting with the Hawks on February 19.

Jose Alvarado accounted for 26 points (8-of-13 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, five steals and eight three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the 76ers.

The emotions of playing his first Knicks home game may have gotten the best of Alvarado in Tuesday’s loss to the Pacers. There were no such issues for the Brooklyn native on Wednesday, as he took over during the third and fourth quarters. Alvarado shot 8-of-13 from beyond the arc, dropping 26 points while showing why he’s nicknamed “Grand Theft Alvarado” with the five steals. And he recorded that stat line in just 19 minutes. With Miles McBride (core) possibly out until the postseason, Alvarado isn’t a bad pickup in deep leagues, even if nights like Wednesday won’t become the norm.

Karl-Anthony Towns amassed 21 points (8-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s win over the 76ers.

While Towns finished Tuesday’s overtime loss to the Pacers with a double-double, he was far more assertive on Wednesday. The Knicks’ improved ball movement may have been a factor, but the 7-footer deserves credit for the approach he took on both ends of the floor. That set the tone in what would be a 138-89 win, an excellent way for the Knicks to go into the All-Star break. Next up for Towns is an appearance in Sunday’s All-Star Game, where he’ll represent Team World.

Mikal Bridges finished Wednesday’s win over the 76ers with 22 points (9-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, two steals and one three-pointer.

After scoring 22 points on 9-of-15 shooting in Tuesday’s loss to the Pacers, Bridges did the same on Wednesday. However, he doubled his assist and steal numbers in the 138-89 demolition of the 76ers. While Bridges’ fantasy value has slipped some recently, with him providing seventh-round value over the past two weeks, he remains ranked safely within the top-50 in season-long value. The Knicks play three games after the All-Star break, starting with the Pistons on February 19.

OG Anunoby (toe) is out for Wednesday’s game against the 76ers.

Anunoby is set to miss his fourth game in a row with a toe injury. Landry Shamet has started the last two games with Anunoby out and had 17 points and four three-pointers in Tuesday’s OT loss to the Pacers. Shamet could be worth streaming if he starts again and Mohamed Diawara should see more minutes off the bench.

Mikal Bridges accumulated 22 points (9-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Tuesday’s loss to the Pacers.

After scoring five points in the Knicks’ February 4 double-overtime win over the Nuggets, Bridges has gotten back on track offensively. He’s hit double figures in three straight, with Tuesday’s tally being the highest for him since dropping 23 in a February 3 win over the Wizards. With OG Anunoby (toe) out, there has been a little more room for Bridges to assert himself offensively, and that’s a positive for fantasy managers who have him on their rosters.

Josh Hart finished Tuesday’s loss to the Pacers with 15 points (5-of-8 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers.

Hart was on triple-double watch at halftime, as he was already responsible for eight rebounds and nine assists. He finished with the 17th of his Knicks career, moving into third place on the franchise’s all-time list. Over the past two weeks, Hart has provided top-50 per-game value in nine-cat formats according to Basketball Monster. The Knicks play once more before the All-Star break, Wednesday night in Philadelphia.

Karl-Anthony Towns tallied 22 points (8-of-17 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 14 rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in Tuesday’s loss to the Knicks.

Limited to 11 points in Sunday’s win over the Celtics, Towns doubled that tally on Tuesday while recording his 36th double-double of the season. Unfortunately for the Knicks, he wasn’t around for the latter stages of overtime, having fouled out with 2:14 remaining in the extra session. Indiana scored the first nine points of overtime, pushing their road record on the season to 4-22. Wednesday’s game against the Knicks is far more important to Towns and the Knicks, who need a win to avoid losing the season series. And they’ll need KAT to stay on the floor, especially if Joel Embiid plays.

Jalen Brunson recorded 40 points (15-of-31 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Tuesday’s loss to the Pacers.

Brunson finished Tuesday with his second 40-point game in four outings and fourth of the season, but it wasn’t enough to avoid a disappointing overtime defeat. The Knicks point guard shot 4-of-14 from beyond the arc, putting a dent in his overall field-goal percentage. Brunson and the Knicks will look to go into the All-Star break on a high note when they visit the 76ers on Wednesday.

Quentin Grimes (illness) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

Grimes was unable to play in Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, which led to more minutes for Justin Edwards. Also, MarJon Beauchamp played 20 minutes off the bench in his first game as a 76er. Neither he nor Edwards is worth the streaming risk if Grimes remains out.

Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

Embiid did not play in Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Andre Drummond. If the 2023 league MVP can play against the Knicks, Drummond will likely fall out of the rotation entirely.

Dominick Barlow (illness) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

Barlow was a late scratch for Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, as he was added to the injury report about an hour before tipoff. If he’s able to play against the Knicks, that would likely push Trendon Watford to the bench.

OG Anunoby (toe) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Pacers.

Tuesday’s game will be the third that Anunoby has missed with a toe injury. Landry Shamet replaced him in the lineup for Sunday’s win over the Celtics and may retain that role. If so, Shamet would be worth streaming. Also, look for rookie Mohamed Diawara to pick up additional minutes off the bench.

Kelly Oubre accounted for 19 points (6-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, four steals, two blocks and three three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

It may have come in a losing effort, but Oubre produced another solid stat line on Monday. The six defensive contributions were one shy of his season-high, which the veteran wing recorded in a January 11 loss to the Raptors. With Paul George serving a 25-game suspension, there isn’t a good reason to leave Oubre on the waiver wire in deep leagues. And Monday’s performance will likely get him on the radar in some 12-team leagues as well.

Tyrese Maxey finished Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers with 30 points (10-of-21 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), one rebound, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers.

With Joel Embiid (knee) unavailable, even more of the scoring responsibilities fell upon Maxey’s shoulders. He’s now scored 30 points or more in 22 games, with Monday’s being his first since January 29 against the Kings. Despite Maxey’s efforts, the 76ers fell behind big during the third quarter in the final game of their road trip, losing 135-118. Philadelphia returns home for its final game before the All-Star break, Wednesday night against the Knicks.

Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre, Trendon Watford and Andre Drummond will start Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

The 76ers are without Dominick Barlow and Joel Embiid for Monday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Watford and Drummond have been tabbed to fill the voids, and both are worth streaming in deep leagues.

Dominick Barlow (illness) has been ruled out against the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Philadelphia will be shorthanded for this game with both Barlow and Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined. Trendon Watford should enter the starting lineup in place of Barlow, and he had some decent outings as a starter earlier in the year, giving him some upside as a streamer.

Joel Embiid (knee) is out for Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Embiid will miss the final game of Philadelphia’s road trip due to right knee injury management. As a result, Andre Drummond likely slots in as the starting center, with Adem Bona serving as the backup.

Dominick Barlow (illness) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Barlow is a very late addition to the 76ers’ injury report, which is concerning regarding his availability. With Quentin Grimes (illness) already out, the 76ers may have to call on Trendon Watford to start. If so, he would be worth streaming in deep leagues.

Quentin Grimes (illness) is out for Monday’s game against the 76ers.

Added to the injury report on Monday afternoon, Grimes will not be available to play in Portland. His absence frees up rotation minutes for the bench, with Trendon Watford potentially taking on more playmaking duties for the bench unit.

Quentin Grimes (illness) is questionable to play against the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Grimes is a very late addition to the injury report and could leave plenty of minutes available off the bench. Justin Edwards should be in line for an extended role if Grimes ends up missing this game, though his upside for fantasy managers will be limited.

Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Embiid was also listed as questionable ahead of Saturday’s win over the Suns, a game in which he played 33 minutes. Look for him to take on a similar workload on Monday if cleared to play. If Embiid can’t play, the 76ers will turn to Andre Drummond to move into the starting lineup.

Landry Shamet finished Sunday’s win over the Celtics with three points (1-of-5 FGs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer.

With OG Anunoby (toe) out, Shamet moved into the starting lineup on Sunday. Unfortunately for those who may have streamed him for the three-point potential, the veteran wing shot 1-of-4 from three and offered limited value in his 28 minutes. Rookie Mohamed Diawara had the better day, contributing 10 points (4-of-4 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in 27 minutes off the bench. The streaming values of Shamet and Diawara moving forward depend on Anunoby’s availability.

Jose Alvarado tallied 12 points (5-of-12 FGs), two rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Celtics.

Alvarado made his Knicks debut on Sunday, and with Miles McBride (core) out for the foreseeable future, the New York City native’s return home takes on added importance. And Alvarado showed what he’s capable of on Sunday, recording a complete stat line in his 25 minutes on the floor. As has been the case with McBride at various points, there were also stretches when the Knicks played Alvarado and Jalen Brunson together on Sunday. For the few who may have been holding out hope for Tyler Kolek to get a few more minutes with McBride out, he did not check into Sunday’s game until there were just over three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and the game was decided.

Josh Hart (ankle) amassed 19 points (7-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Celtics.

After tweaking his left ankle during Friday’s loss to the Pistons, Hart playing on Sunday wasn’t a sure thing. Not only did he play, but the wing’s offensive output was a needed supplement to Jalen Brunson’s game-high 31 points. Before he first injured the ankle during Tuesday’s win over the Wizards, Hart was on a run of three straight games with at least 20 points. Depending on how much longer OG Anunoby (toe) is out, the Knicks will need Sunday’s version of Hart more often.

Jalen Brunson finished Sunday’s win over the Celtics with 31 points (12-of-21 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists and four three-pointers.

Coming off of his worst performance of the season in Friday’s 38-point loss to the Pistons, Brunson showed up in Boston seemingly intent on redeeming himself. The Knicks’ guard did so, recording 15 points and four assists in the first quarter alone and finishing with a game-high 31 points. And after shooting 0-of-8 from three in Detroit, Brunson made four of his eight attempts on Sunday. The Knicks play five games in Week 17, two of which are scheduled for before the All-Star break.

Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Landry Shamet, Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns will start Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Towns is back in the Knicks’ starting lineup after a one-game absence, pushing Mitchell Robinson to the bench. The other change to the lineup is Shamet, who replaces Mohamed Diawara. This is the second consecutive game that the Knicks will be without OG Anunoby (toe).

Josh Hart (ankle) is available for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Hart aggravated his sprained left ankle during Friday’s loss to the Pistons, exiting during the third quarter. He’ll occupy his usual place within the Knicks’ starting lineup in Boston.

Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) is available for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Towns did not play in Friday’s loss to the Pistons, having suffered a laceration above his right eye during Wednesday’s win over the Nuggets. His return could push Mitchell Robinson to the bench. However, with Boston having started Luka Garza and Neemias Queta the last two games, the Knicks could choose to go big. In that case, Mohamed Diawara would head to the bench.

OG Anunoby (toe) is out for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Anuoby will miss a second consecutive game with a toe injury. Mohamed Diawara started Friday’s loss to the Pistons but offered little streaming value. If the Celtics stick with two bigs in their starting lineup, the Knicks could choose to start Mitchell Robinson alongside Karl-Anthony Towns. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Robinson is valuable because of his rebounds and blocks.

Kelly Oubre had 18 points (6-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Suns.

Oubre’s had at least 15 points and at least three three-pointers in four of his last five games. The 30-year-old small forward doesn’t contribute much in the other categories, but he can deliver some points and threes. Oubre has returned 13th-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster.

Tyrese Maxey had 29 points (8-of-21 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Suns.

Maxey was just one rebound and four assists shy of a triple-double on Saturday against the Suns. It was an emphatic win against a good team for the 76ers. The 25-year-old point guard has provided 13th-overall per game value over the past two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. The 76ers’ road trip continues against the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Joel Embiid had 33 points (9-of-19 FGs, 11-of-13 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and four three-pointers in the 76ers’ 109-103 victory over the Suns on Saturday.

Embiid followed up his 35-point game against the Lakers on Thursday by dropping 33 points in the win over the Suns on Saturday. The 31-year-old center is looking like his old self these days. He’s returned first-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. The 76ers have two games upcoming in Week 17, starting with a matchup against the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Joel Embiid (knee) is available for Saturday’s game against the Suns.

Embiid was initially listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against the Suns, but the big man hasn’t missed a game that wasn’t on a back-to-back since late December, so his availability isn’t a total surprise. The 31-year-old center is looking like his former MVP self, coming off posting a 35/7/7 line in Thursday’s loss to the Lakers.

Josh Hart (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Hart returned from a one-game absence Friday against the Pistons only to suffer a sprained ankle in the 38-point drubbing at the hands of Detroit. The 30-year-old shooting guard is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Celtics and the Knicks could be severely short-handed with Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) and OG Anunoby (toe) also on the injury report.

OG Anunoby (toe) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Anunoby had a 20/8/4 line in Wednesday’s win over the Nuggets, but somewhere along the way he injured his toe. The 28-year-old small forward was initially probable for Friday’s game in Detroit, but was downgraded to questionable before being ruled out. The Knicks promptly lost by 38 points without him. Mohamed Diawara would likely start if Anunoby is ruled out again, but the game against the Celtics could also get out of hand if the Knicks are missing multiple starters again.

Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Josh Hart (leg) recorded five points (2-of-7 FGs), six rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in Friday’s loss to the Pistons.

Hart was back in the Knicks’ lineup after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Nuggets, and he may have aggravated the ankle injury that was the reason for his absence. The Knicks’ wing pulled up while dribbling down the court during the third quarter and would exit shortly thereafter. There was no announcement regarding his status for the rest of the night, but Hart never returned to the bench after going back to the locker room. New York ends its Week 16 in Boston on Sunday.

Jalen Brunson tallied 12 points (4-of-20 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in Friday’s loss to the Pistons.

Brunson had a brutal night in Detroit. Finding room to get his shots proved extremely difficult with OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns unavailable, as the Pistons devoted even more of their defensive attention to the point guard. Brunson missed all eight of his three-point attempts and did not play at all during the fourth quarter. Fantasy managers will hope to get a better effort from Brunson on Sunday against the Celtics.

Mikal Bridges finished Friday’s loss to the Pistons with 19 points (7-of-16 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), one rebound, two assists and three three-pointers.

With OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns out, Bridges was essentially the only Knicks player who could string together good stretches of offensive basketball on Friday. The overall stat line was line, but the Knicks’ wing scored a game-high 19 points. Bridges and the Knicks, who saw their eight-game win streak come to a screeching halt, will look to bounce back on Sunday in Boston.

Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Suns.

Embiid has remained relatively healthy for most of this season. While he has been listed on recent injury reports, the only games he has missed since late December have been part of back-to-backs. Look for Embiid to be in the 76ers’ starting lineup on Saturday night, with Adem Bona serving as his primary backup.

OG Anunoby (toe) will not play on Friday against the Pistons.

Anunoby will miss his 13th game of the season on Friday, as he battles a toe injury. The veteran wing has been a staple in the Knicks’ starting unit since being traded to New York during the 2023-24 season. Without him, the Knicks’ path to a ninth straight win becomes more difficult. Mohamed Diawara will start and could see his opportunities increase.

Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, Mohamed Diawara and Mitchell Robinson will start Friday’s game against the Pistons.

Hart is back for the Knicks after sitting out Wednesday’s double-overtime win over the Nuggets, but they won’t have OG Anunoby (toe) or Karl-Anthony Towns (eye). As a result, Diawara and Robinson move into the starting lineup, and Jordan Clarkson has been bumped back to the bench.

Josh Hart (ankle) is available for Friday’s game against the Pistons.

Hart is good to go after a one-game absence, likely pushing Jordan Clarkson to the bench. However, there’s a chance that Clarkson remains with the starters, as OG Anunoby (toe) is a game-time decision. While Hart needs to be rostered in most fantasy leagues, Clarkson isn’t a must-stream player, regardless of league format.

Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) will miss Friday’s game against the Pistons.

If the Knicks want to extend their win streak to nine games, it’ll have to be done without Towns. The All-Star center will be sidelined on Friday, leaving Mitchell Robinson as the likely candidate to fill in for Towns in the starting lineup. Robinson doesn’t offer the same upside but could be on double-double watch.

SNY’s Ian Begley reports that Miles McBride (core) is expected to miss six to eight weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a sports hernia.

McBride underwent the procedure on Friday, one day after the Knicks acquired Jose Alvarado from the Pelicans. With the reported timeline, there’s a chance the guard is available to play before the start of the postseason. While they await McBride’s return, the Knicks will rely on the combination of Alvarado (once he joins the team), Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson to fill the void.

OG Anunoby (toe) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday’s matchup with the Pistons.

Anunoby’s status doesn’t bode well for his availability, and if he’s sidelined, Mohamed Diawara could join the starting five. More minutes should be available for Landry Shamet, and Josh Hart should handle an increased workload.

VJ Edgecombe produced 19 points (7-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, four steals and three three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Lakers.

Edgecombe finished Thursday’s defeat with his third double-double of the season and first since November 20. While the recent Rookie of the Year conversations have focused on Dallas’ Cooper Flagg and Charlotte’s Kon Knueppel, Edgecombe has been excellent as well. Fantasy-wise, he’s providing top-75 value, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (97). Edgecombe and the 76ers finish their Week 16 slate on Saturday in Phoenix.

Tyrese Maxey finished Thursday’s loss to the Lakers with 26 points (11-of-22 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 13 assists, four steals and one three-pointer.

Maxey struggled with his outside shot on Thursday, shooting 1-of-9 from beyond the arc. Over his last two games, the 76ers’ guard has shot 2-of-14, a far cry from his 39.0 percent mark for the season. However, Maxey shot 10-of-13 from inside the arc on Thursday, and he recorded 13 assists. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-20 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster.

Joel Embiid amassed 35 points (13-of-19 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer in Thursday’s loss to the Lakers.

Embiid continues to look more like his vintage self, with Thursday’s game being his 11th this season with at least 30 points. The former league MVP was efficient as a scorer and playmaker while also recording a complete stat line. Embiid will look to finish Week 16 on a high note when the visit the Suns on Saturday.

Joel Embiid (knee) is available for Thursday’s game against the Lakers.

Embiid is available after the 76ers listed him as questionable on the initial injury report. He’ll take on his usual starting center duties, with Adem Bona slotting in as the backup. As has been the case on most nights when all three are available, Andre Drummond may be the odd man out.

The 76ers have signed Dominick Barlow to a standard contract.

Barlow has been a revelation for the 76ers this season, playing well enough to earn a place in the starting lineup at the beginning of the season. With Paul George suspended for 25 games, Barlow has returned to the starting lineup. Converting him to a standard deal, which includes a team option for the 2026-27 season, ensures that Barlow is eligible to play in Thursday’s game against the Lakers.

76ers signed Patrick Baldwin Jr. to a 10-day contract.

The 28th overall pick of the 2022 draft, Baldwin has failed to establish himself in the NBA. He was most recently on a 10-day deal with the Clippers in mid-January. His signing is more about the 76ers being able to use the remaining days of Dominick Barlow’s two-way contract. There’s no need to consider adding Baldwin in fantasy leagues.
