Johni Broome News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks

Limited during rookie year Broome racked up seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over three minutes during Sunday's 144-114 loss to New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifina...

Impact Broome's rookie campaign was mostly ruined by midseason knee surgery, limiting him to 11 brief appearances with the 76ers. He could move up the depth chart at center if Andre Drummond leaves during free agency this summer, but Broome's most realistic path to steady playing time is likely to lie with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats in 2026-27.

Makes garbage-time cameo Broome played the final 4:33 of Monday's 137-98 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, recording zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound.

Impact The rookie second-round pick out of Auburn underwent a successful partial meniscectomy on his right knee Feb. 28 and was sidelined for about seven weeks before being cleared to play in advance of the 76ers' first-round playoff matchup with the Celtics. He didn't make any appearances during Philadelphia's seven-game series victory, but after Monday's series opener with the Knicks devolved into a blowout in the second half, Broome was able to make his postseason debut in garbage time. Broome will continue to be held out of Philadelphia's rotation in more competitive contests for the duration of the 76ers' playoff run.

MAY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Off injury report Broome (knee) is not listed on the Sixers' injury report ahead of Game 1 against the Celtics on Sunday.

Impact Broome underwent surgery in February to repair a torn meniscus. He has progressed enough in his recovery to be available for the opening round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, but Broome is unlikely to be a part of the 76ers' rotation, given his lack of playing time when available during the regular season.

APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE

Still recovering from knee surgery Broome is out for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets due to right knee surgery recovery.

Impact The rookie second-rounder underwent surgery in February to repair a torn meniscus, and he remains in recovery mode. Broome has no timetable for a return and can be deemed doubtful for future contests, barring an update from the 76ers to suggest otherwise.

Not available Sunday Broome (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bucks.

Impact Broome remains without a timeline to return while recovering from surgery in February to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. It's unclear whether he'll be available for the start of the 76ers' postseason run, though he would unlikely play even if he was cleared to suit up.

Remaining out Thursday Broome (knee) is listed as out for Thursday's game against Houston.

Impact Broome underwent surgery in February to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee. However, he remains without a return date. The 23-year-old has averaged 0.9 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.2 blocks and 0.3 steals across 5.0 minutes in 11 appearances for Philadelphia this season, so his continued absence won't have much of an impact on the rotation.

Remains without timetable Broome (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Listed out for Wednesday Broome (knee) won't play Wednesday against the Wizards.

Impact Broome went under the knife at the end of February to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, and the Sixers have yet to provide much of an update on a timeline for his return. He was scheduled to be re-evaluated one month from his surgery date, so more information could come to light in the coming days. For now, he can be considered doubtful for Friday's matchup against Minnesota.

Undergoes surgery Broome underwent a successful partial meniscectomy Saturday to address a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, per Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com.

Impact The procedure was performed by Dr. Riley Williams at HSS in New York, and the 76ers announced that Broome will be re-evaluated in four weeks. While the team previously noted that surgery could potentially end the rookie's season, a meniscectomy typically carries a shorter recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks compared to a full repair. Broome sustained the injury on Feb. 21 while playing for the G League's Delaware Blue Coats. The second-round pick out of Auburn has appeared in just 11 games for Philadelphia this season, averaging 0.9 points and 1.5 rebounds in 5.0 minutes per contest.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Surgery scheduled for Saturday Broome is set to undergo meniscus surgery Saturday, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact The 76ers will likely update Broome's timetable post-surgery, but head coach Nick Nurse said there's a chance this will end Broome's season. That said, he's been a negligible part of the rotation for the 76ers this year, so Broome's absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy leagues.

Impact Broome played in the G League for the Delaware Blue Coats on Saturday against the Maine Celtics and finished with 27 points (10-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 24 minutes, though he sat out of the fourth quarter after sustaining the injury in the third frame, per Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com. Medical staff will conduct additional tests to determine the severity of Broome's injury and next steps, though the rookie second-rounder is in jeopardy of missing the rest of the 2025-26 season.

Recalled to NBA Philadelphia recalled Broome from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Monday.

Impact Broome continues to split time between the 76ers and their G League affiliate, but only sees significant playing time with the Blue Coats. Dating all the way back to Nov. 30, Broome has logged just ten cumulative minutes on an NBA court, and it is very likely he will not play much if at all in the forseeable future.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from G League The 76ers recalled Broome from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Tuesday, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Impact After being assigned to the G League on Friday, Broome will rejoin the parent club ahead of Tuesday's game against the Bucks. The rookie second-rounder has logged just nine minutes over two appearances with Philadelphia since the beginning of December, so he isn't guaranteed to see the court.

Impact Broome was assigned to the G League on Wednesday, likely to log a practice, before being returned to the 76ers. He hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Dec. 23 and isn't expected to see any playing time Thursday night against the Rockets.
