MarJon Beauchamp tallied 17 points (7-of-13 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons.

The 76ers’ many absences freed up opportunities for players who normally would not be guaranteed rotation minutes, including Beauchamp. Just over a month removed from scoring a then-season high 10 points, the former first-round pick surpassed that number in Detroit. Beauchamp’s night won’t affect fantasy basketball, but it could be a step toward him earning a standard contract somewhere for next season.
