Team option picked up The 76ers picked up Barlow's team option Monday, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact This was a no-brainer for the 76ers for $3.42 million. Barlow is coming off a career-best season, posting averages of 7.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals in 23.8 minutes per game over 71 regular-season games (59 starts).

JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE

Puts forth career year in 2025-26 Barlow produced five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist in 15 minutes during Sunday's 144-114 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Impact Barlow put forth a quality campaign for the 76ers in 2025-26, averaging a career-high 7.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals in 23.8 minutes per tilt over 71 regular-season games (59 starts). His contract includes a $3.42 million team option for 2026-27, and it would make sense if Philadelphia brought Barlow back as a key reserve piece in the frontcourt for 2026-27.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Solid defensively in Game 2 Barlow finished with six points (3-3 FG), two rebounds, one steal and two blocks across 16 minutes in Wednesday's 108-102 loss to New York in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semif...

Impact Joel Embiid (hip, ankle) didn't suit up Wednesday night, although Barlow logged only three more minutes than he did in Game 1. While the 22-year-old didn't do much on the offensive end, he still got involved defensively, amassing two blocks and one steal. With Embiid uncertain for Game 3 on Friday night, Barlow will have an opportunity to see more action. However, even if Embiid misses another game, Barlow will still be tough to trust for fantasy purposes.

MAY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Moves out of rotation Barlow (coach's decision) didn't receive any playing time Thursday in the 76ers' 106-93 win over the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series.

Impact A starter for Philadelphia for most of the campaign, Barlow shifted to the bench late in the regular season but didn't notice a dramatic drop in minutes. His playing time has fallen by the wayside in the playoffs, however, with Barlow being a casualty of head coach Nick Nurse trimming down his rotation. Barlow has now gone unused in two of the first six games of the series and has played single-digit minutes in two of his four appearances.

Jayson Tatum has strong return to playoffs for Celtics, who rout 76ers 123-91 in Game 1

The Boston Celtics have rolled past the Philadelphia 76ers 123-91 in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round matchup

APRIL 19 • Associated Press

Heading to bench Saturday Barlow is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact Barlow will play off the bench for the first time since Jan. 29, as the Sixers have elected to go with Kelly Oubre and Paul George at the forward spots. Barlow is averaging 5.9 points and 4.1 rebounds per game when deployed off the bench this season, but he's been a regular starter throughout the campaign -- he's been part of the second unit in just seven of his 66 regular-season appearances in 2025-26.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs 10 boards Friday Barlow finished with seven points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 26 minutes during Friday's 115-103 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact Barlow grabbed double-digit rebounds for just the fourth time this season, while also matching his season-high with three blocks. Although these numbers almost certainly helped fantasy managers, the excitement levels should remain tempered. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 4.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 18.8 minutes per game.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Bottoms out Saturday Barlow posted three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds in 15 minutes during Saturday's 118-114 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Barlow hung onto the starting spot at power forward despite the return of Kelly Oubre on Saturday, though that could change once the latter becomes further removed from his elbow injury. Over his last 10 games, Barlow has averaged a modest 7.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.9 blocks in 23.9 minutes per contest.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Monday Barlow (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Barlow exited Saturday's contest early due to a left ankle sprain, and it initially looked unlikely he'd suit up Monday, though the forward has progressed well and has now been cleared to play. The 22-year-old was averaging 10.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.2 minutes over his previous five contests prior to Saturday's brief appearance. Barlow has started 53 of the 60 games he's played and hasn't come off the bench when healthy since January, so he figures to slot into the starting five as usual against the Thunder.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to questionable Barlow (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Barlow was previously listed as doubtful, but he's trending in the right direction. With so many injuries in Philadelphia, Barlow could see a sizable workload if he's given the green light to play.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Monday Barlow (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against Oklahoma City.

Impact Barlow exited Saturday's 126-116 win over Utah after only four minutes of work because of a sprained left ankle. If he can't suit up, Trendon Watford would be considered the favorite to start at the power forward position against one of the top defensive clubs in the National Basketball Association.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Out with ankle sprain Barlow suffered an ankle sprain and was unable to return to Saturday's game against the Jazz, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact This is a tough blow for the 76ers as they continue to battle numerous injuries. His night will finish after just one point and four minutes of action.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Continues filling in serviceably Barlow finished with 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 109-103 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact With Paul George still suspended until the March 25 matchup versus the Bulls, it looks like Barlow has a clear runway to a starting role for at least Philadelphia's next four games. Barlow has averaged 8.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 26.5 minutes per tilt in his last seven games, shooting 52.1 percent from the field.

MARCH 11 • Associated Press

Another quiet effort Barlow racked up four points (2-5 FG), one rebound, two assists and one block over 26 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Barlow is holding down the fort at power forward for the suspended Paul George, but the former continues to see little usage in the starting lineup. Barlow has averaged 5.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 24.8 minutes per game over his last nine contests, so fantasy managers may be able to find more appealing streaming options.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to return Barlow (undisclosed) has checked back in to Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Barlow went to the locker room during the first quarter after picking up an undisclosed injury, but he's since been cleared by the medical staff to return. He shouldn't face any limitations the rest of the way.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Goes to locker room Barlow went to the locker room during the first quarter of Tuesday's game against the Spurs with an undisclosed injury, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Barlow was spotted walking down the tunnel to the locker room after picking up his second foul. The nature of his injury is unclear at this time. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Holding down starting spot Barlow finished with 14 points (4-7 FG, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three steals over 28 minutes during Sunday's 114-98 loss to the Celtics.

Impact As long as Paul George remains suspended, Barlow appears to locked into the starting position at power forward. However, the fourth-year forward is averaging just 7.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks in 27.0 minutes per game over his last seven outings, so he's not seeing a lot of usage in the first unit.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Muted effort in win Barlow chipped in nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 win over the Heat.

Impact This was another quiet showing for Barlow, but the minutes were at least encouraging -- he's been playing more while Paul George is serving his suspension. Over his last five games, he's averaging 5.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 26.1 minutes per contest.
