76ers' Quentin Grimes: Scores 24, hits clutch triple in W
RotowireGrimes finished with 24 points (7-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 30 minutes during Saturday's 125-121 victory over the Hornets.
Grimes nailed a clutch three-pointer with less than a minute remaining to help the Sixers earn their second win in as many games to open the season. He finished second on the team in scoring despite coming off the bench, and the 25-year-old reached the 30-minute mark for the second straight contest. Grimes will look to stay hot when Philadelphia hosts Orlando on Monday night.

RotowireEmbiid finished Saturday's 125-121 victory over the Hornets with 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 20 minutes.
Following a four-point outing (1-9 FG, 0-4 3PM, 2-2 FT) in the season opener, Embiid bounced back with 20 points on an efficient 7-for-11 from the field. The 31-year-old has played 20 minutes in each of the Sixers' first two contests to start the year, and it's no surprise the team is taking a cautious approach with the star center. He's expected to suit up for Monday's home tilt against Orlando.
... See More... See Less76ers' Dominick Barlow: Exits 76ers' win with elbow injury
RotowireBarlow (elbow) finished Saturday's 125-121 win over Charlotte with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and four rebounds across 16 minutes.
Barlow started but did not play during the second half of Philadelphia's win on Saturday due to a laceration to his right elbow. This is unfortunate news for the 22-year-old after he impressed with 13 points, eight rebounds, five assists and a block across 34 minutes in the season-opener Wednesday. Barlow's status is uncertain versus Orlando on Monday.
... See More... See Less76ers' Kelly Oubre: Scores 19 points in 125-121 victory
RotowireOubre ended Saturday's 125-121 win over the Hornets with 19 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 37 minutes.
Oubre was one of five Sixers to score at least 15 points in their win against Charlotte on Saturday, and he led all players with a plus-18 plus-minus rating. The 29-year-old should continue earning increased playing time in the absence of Paul George (knee), as he finished third on the team behind Tyrese Maxey (42) and VJ Edgecombe (40) in minutes. Philadelphia hosts the Orlando Magic on Monday night.
... See More... See Less76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Posts 15/6/8/1/3 in win
RotowireEdgecombe supplied 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals across 40 minutes during Saturday's 125-121 victory over the Hornets.
Edgecombe continued his impressive start to the season by contributing across the board in Saturday's win. He finished second behind Tyrese Maxey (nine) with eight assists while leading the Sixers with three steals. Edgecombe looks locked in as Philadelphia's starting shooting guard, and he'll get another opportunity to dazzle against the Magic on Monday night.
... See More... See Less76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Sets 76ers record in win
RotowireMaxey had 28 points (7-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 10-12 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one block over 42 minutes during Saturday's 125-121 victory over the Hornets.
With his 28 points tonight, Maxey set a new76ers record for most points scored in the first two games of a season (68), topping Philadelphia legend Allen Iverson's 67. Maxey has been stellar thus far, posting averages of 34.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 41.6 minutes. He's helped the Sixers get off to a 2-0 start, and they'll aim to improve to 3-0 on the year when they host Orlando on Monday.
... See More... See Less76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Nears double-double in win
RotowireMaxey amassed 28 points (7-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 10-12 FT), nine assists, six rebounds and one block across 42 minutes in Saturday's 125-121 win over the Hornets.
After scoring 40 points in Wednesday's season-opening win over Boston, Maxey recorded a game-high 28 points against Charlotte. The star point guard also led all players in assists and has dished out 15 through two games. The Sixers have plenty of mouths to feed, but Maxey should continue to serve as the team's top option on the offensive end while Joel Embiid -- who posted 20 points in 20 minutes -- remains on a minutes restriction.
... See More... See Less76ers' Dominick Barlow: Won't return Saturday
RotowireBarlow won't return to Saturday's game against the Hornets due to a right elbow laceration, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Barlow was able to finish the first half but won't return for the second. He'll end the game with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and four rebounds in 16 minutes. Jabari Walker and Justin Edwards are candidates to see increased minutes the rest of the way. Barlow's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Monday's game against the Magic.
... See More... See Less76ers' Justin Edwards: Available vs. Charlotte
RotowireEdwards (ribs) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Hornets, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Edwards will make his season debut after dealing with a rib issue. It remains to be seen how big his role will be on this team with Quentin Grimes potentially seeing more time off the bench.
... See More... See Less76ers' Justin Edwards: Likely to play Saturday
RotowireEdwards (ribs) is probable to play in Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Edwards is dealing with a rib issue. However, he is trending toward being able to make his season debut. If he's unable to play, his next chance to get back on the floor will be Monday against the Magic.
... See More... See Less76ers' Trendon Watford: Ruled out for Saturday
RotowireWatford (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
The 24-year-old will miss his second consecutive contest due to left hamstring tightness, and his next opportunity to make his season debut will come Monday against the Magic. With both Watford and Paul George (knee) sidelined, Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker are candidates for an uptick in playing time.
... See More... See Less76ers' Paul George: Won't suit up Saturday
RotowireGeorge (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
George will miss his second consecutive contest as he recovers from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, which he underwent in July. The veteran forward has returned to practice, and his next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Magic. With George sidelined, Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker are candidates for an uptick in playing time.
... See More... See Less76ers' Kyle Lowry: Sits out season opener
RotowireLowry didn't play in Wednesday's 117-116 win over Boston.
The absence of Jared McCain (thumb) wasn't enough to get Lowry in the Opening Night rotation. The bulk of Philadelphia's backcourt reps should go to Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe and Quentin Grimes moving forward.
... See More... See Less76ers' Eric Gordon: Out of action in win
RotowireGordon didn't play in Wednesday's 117-116 win over Boston.
Despite the absence of Jared McCain (thumb), Gordon remained a spectator in the season opener. VJ Edgecombe's immediate emergence also doesn't bode well for Gordon's chances at playing time, so the latter will likely be more of a veteran presence than on-court contributor going forward.
... See More... See Less76ers' Kelly Oubre: Scores double digits in win
RotowireOubre put up 10 points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a block across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 117-116 win over Boston.
Oubre was one of five76ers to score double digits. While the spotlight will shine on Tyrese Maxey and rookie VJ Edgecombe, it is worth noting that Oubre was third in minutes only behind these two, so expect him to continue taking advantage of this expanded role while Paul George (knee) remains out for the forseeable future.
... See More... See Less76ers' Quentin Grimes: Logs 32 minutes in season opener
RotowireGrimes ended Wednesday's 117-116 win over Boston with 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 32 minutes.
Grimes was somewhat passive Wednesday, although the fact he played 32 minutes is encouraging. Coming off what was a dynamic finish to the 2024-25 season, Grimes will be looking to continue that momentum. If and when the76ers have a healthy roster, Grimes could find himself playing fewer minutes. Until then, he is worth rostering in most formats.
... See More... See Less76ers' Andre Drummond: Barely touches floor in win
RotowireDrummond racked up one rebound across three minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 win over the Celtics.
Drummond managed just three minutes in the win, despite the fact that Joel Embiid was on a strict minutes restriction. Adem Bona logged 15 minutes as the primary backup, and although his production left a lot to be desired, it would appear as though Drummond is third in the current pecking order, making him a non-factor in just about all fantasy formats.
... See More... See Less76ers' Dominick Barlow: Impresses in start
RotowireBarlow closed Wednesday's 117-116 victory over the Celtics with 13 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one block over 34 minutes.
Barlow was named as a surprise starter for the season opener, finishing with an impressive stat line in 34 minutes. While VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey will likely receive all the accolades, Barlow's contributions shouldn't be overlooked. Until the76ers have a healthy roster, Barlow could be worth a look, even in standard fantasy leagues.
