MONTREZL HARRELL NEWS

Rare appearance Thursday Harrell chipped in zero points (0-1 FG) and two rebounds across three minutes during Thursday's 133-126 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Harrell returned to the rotation Thursday (barely), logging just three minutes in the loss. After suiting up for the majority of the season, Harrell had missed seven of the previous eight games. Doc Rivers appears to have figured out that Harrell simply doesn't contribute to winning basketball, opting to go with the likes of Paul Reed instead. Apparently, Harrell's days of being fantasy-relevant are well behind him.

Heads to bench Wednesday Harrell is not starting against the Nets on Wednesday, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Harrell posted 17 points and seven boards against the Kings on Saturday in a spot start, but he heads back to his regular bench role with Joel Embiid returning to his regular starting role. Harrell averages 4.5 points and 2.1 rebounds per game across 35 outings off the bench.

Posts 17 points in relief Harrell supplied 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes during Saturday's 129-127 win over the Kings.

Impact Harrell had an efficient night in the spot start, and while he'll rarely approach Joel Embiid's (foot) production, he served as an apt replacement during a great all-around effort. Embiid's absence was primarily for injury management, and Harrell will revert to a reserve role when the MVP candidate returns to the starting lineup.

Starting against Kings Harrell is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Kings.

Impact Harrell will partner with P.J. Tucker in the frontcourt while Joel Embiid (foot) gets some rest. Harrell is averaging 13.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game across six starts this season.

Continues to see limited minutes Harrell ended Thursday's 105-95 win over the Trail Blazers with five points (2-3 FG, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal across 15 minutes.

Impact Harrell's 15 minutes of court time Thursday were the second-lowest among 76ers who played in the contest, yet it was the most time he has logged since he made a spot start and played 24 minutes against Detroit on Jan. 8. The veteran played well against Portland with six boards and a pair of defensive stats, but he failed to reach double-digit scoring for the sixth straight game. Of course, it's hard to post big scoring numbers while spending most of the contest on the bench, which seems to be Harrell's outlook moving forward while Joel Embiid remains healthy.

Shifts back to bench Harrell will appear off the bench Tuesday versus the Pistons.

Impact Harrell's return to the bench seemed like an obvious change when it was announced that Joel Embiid (foot) would be back in action Tuesday. Harrell should also see downsizing in his workload to 10-15 per game moving forward.

Posts 20-point outing in start Harrell produced 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 24 minutes during Sunday's 123-111 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Harrell got the start in place of Joel Embiid (foot), finishing as one of three 76ers to score 20 or more points. Harrell has scored at least 15 points in his last three outings, surpassing the five rebound mark in two of those contests.

Gets start Sunday Harrell will start at center in Sunday's game in Detroit, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.

Impact Though Joel Embiid (foot) will miss his third consecutive game Sunday, Harrell is moving into the starting five for the first time during that stretch. While Embiid had been out the past two games, P.J. Tucker served as a small-ball center for the top unit, but Tucker will miss Sunday's game due to an illness. Harrell still cleared the 20-minute mark in both of the past two games and should be in store for a healthy allotment of playing time once again Sunday, while Paul Reed likely serves as Harrell's top backup.

Has efficient shooting night Harrell totaled 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Friday's 126-112 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Harrell made his mark in the post, and he also tallied a steal for his third straight game. He's scored in double figures in back-to-back contests after failing to do so in his previous six appearances. The Louisville product is averaging 5.6 points and 2.8 rebounds across 12.3 minutes over 34 games so far this season.

Torn apart in 12 minutes Harrell finished Friday's 127-116 loss to the Pelicans with four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 12 minutes.

Impact Harrell logged just 12 minutes in the loss, during which time he was basically a turnstile for Zion Williamson, who took over inside the paint. While Harrell can provide the 76ers with nice energy on the offensive end at times, his defensive ability, or lack thereof, is a real issue. He is currently struggling to play more than 10 minutes on any given night, meaning his days of being fantasy-relevant are well behind him.
