Returning to bench spot Dowtin will come off the bench Monday against the Pelicans.

Impact Dowtin performed well in Sunday's spot start, finishing with 17 points, four boards, three assists, two blocks and three steals, but it evidently wasn't enough to secure him a second straight start. Jared Butler will get the nod at point guard Monday with Dowtin retreating to a bench role.

Impact Dowtin started following a two-game absence due to a coach decision, and he made his presence felt with a solid outing despite the Sixers suffering yet another double-digit loss. Dowtin has been making the most of time on the court whenever he has the chance and has scored in double digits in his last eight appearances (two starts), averaging 15.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game in that span.

Inactive Friday Dowtin will be inactive for Friday's game against the Spurs, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Dowtin is eligible to play in only five more games while signed to two-way contract, and his next chance to suit up will come Sunday against Atlanta. Jared Butler and Jalen Hood-Schifino could see an uptick in playing time due to Dowtin being sidelined.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Wednesday Dowtin will be inactive for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Dowtin played 16 minutes in Monday's loss to the Rockets but will be inactive for Wednesday's matchup in Oklahoma City. The 27-year-old guard averages 5.9 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, shooting 48.6 percent from the floor and 41.5 percent from deep this season.

Scores 14 points off bench Dowtin amassed 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 130-125 win over Dallas.

Impact With Quentin Grimes (illness) back in action, Dowtin returned to a bench role but stayed productive. Dowtin has scored in double figures in seven of his last eight games, averaging 13.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.9 steals in 21.9 minutes during that stretch. However, Dowtin's role would decrease dramatically if Kyle Lowry (hip), Paul George (groin), Kelly Oubre (knee), Lonnie Walker (concussion) and/or Tyrese Maxey (back) return to action soon.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to bench Sunday Dowtin will come off the bench during Sunday's game against Dallas.

Impact The two-way combo guard will retreat to the second unit due to Quentin Grimes (illness) returning to game action. Dowtin has averaged 16.2 points, 2.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 25.0 minutes per contest over his last five outings (one start).

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Impresses in first career start Dowtin chipped in 24 points (11-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Friday's 112-100 loss to Indiana.

Impact Dowtin made the first start of his NBA career Friday and made the most of the opportunity, leading the Sixers in scoring and also leaving his mark across the board with an excellent all-around showing. Dowtin should have upside as long as the 76ers remain depleted, but it's uncertain if he'll stay in a starting role in the coming games. He's likely to experience a sizable regression in his minutes once Tyrese Maxey (back) is ready to return, which might happen at some point in the coming days.

Siakam scores 27 points and helps Pacers rally with big second half to beat the 76ers 112-100

Pascal Siakam scored 17 of his 27 points in the second half, and the Indiana Pacers beat the Philadelphia 76ers 112-100 on Friday night

MARCH 15 • Associated Press

First start of NBA career Friday Dowtin is in the 76ers' starting lineup against the Pacers.

Impact Dowtin has seen his minutes increase over the last week due to the absences of Paul George (groin) and Tyrese Maxey. With Kelly Oubre (ankle), Justin Edwards (ankle) and Quentin Grimes (illness) also out Friday, Dowtin will make the first start of his NBA career alongside Jared Butler in the front court. Dowtin is coming off a career-best 20-point performance Wednesday against the Raptors.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Career-high 20 points Wednesday Dowtin logged 20 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and two steals over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 118-105 win over the Raptors.

Impact Even with Kelly Oubre (ankle) returning from a one-game absence, Dowtin still saw plenty of minutes off the bench after Lonnie Walker left in the first quarter of Sunday's game due to a head injury. Dowtin took advantage of the opportunity and scored an efficient and career-best 20 points in reserve, which was second most on the 76ers behind Quentin Grimes (29). Dowtin has played at least 27 minutes in each of his last two outings, and the 27-year-old has assumed a bigger role for the Sixers due to the absences of Paul George (groin) and Tyrese Maxey (back). Dowtin will look to keep up his solid play against the Pacers on Friday.
