Dominick Barlow News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Expected to miss at least 10 more days Head coach Nick Nurse said Wednesday that Barlow (back) likely needs another 10-12 days before he's cleared to return to the court, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact Nurse added that the team is "pretty positive" that Barlow's back is getting better, though he's still going to have to wait some more time before being cleared. The big man has yet to make his season debut due to a lumbar spine bone stress response, and he isn't expected to return until mid-November at the earliest.

Out at least two weeks Barlow will miss at least the next two weeks of action due to a lumbar spine bone stress response, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact The back issue cost Barlow the entire preseason, and now he'll begin the regular season on the sidelines. The earliest we could see Barlow back on the court would be Nov. 2, but it wouldn't be shocking to see his absence extend beyond this loose, two-week window.

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.
