PAUL REED NEWS

Plays 15 minutes in blowout loss Reed closed with four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three assists, two steals and one block in 15 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 loss to the Celtics.

Impact With Jalen Duren (wrist) sidelined, Isaiah Stewart picked up the start while Reed slid into the rotation. The 25-year-old tied his season-high mark in minutes Thursday, though he shouldn't see much playing time when Duren returns. Reed has averaged 4.8 points and 1.9 rebounds across 10.3 minutes per game in 12 regular-season appearances.

Increased role Wednesday Reed amassed 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and two steals in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Reed logged a season-high 12 minutes, sliding up in the rotation after Jalen Duren was forced from the game due to an ankle injury. While Duren attempted to play through the issue, he was eventually removed and could certainly be at risk of missing time. Should we get word that Duren will be sidelined for any length of time, Reed could be someone to consider for streaming purposes. Isaiah Stewart would likely move into the starting lineup but as we know, he is somewhat undersized, meaning Reed could log meaningful minutes.

Sees playing time in blowout loss Reed logged five points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over seven minutes during Friday's 128-98 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Reed has only played in two of Detroit's six outings so far in 2024-25. However, with Friday's game being a blowout, the 25-year-old big man was able to log seven minutes of action. Still, unless there are significant injuries ahead of him in the depth chart, Reed is unlikely to garner significant fantasy interest.

Grabs nine boards vs. Cleveland Reed supplied six points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals over 18 minutes in Wednesday's 108-92 preseason win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Reed managed to lead both teams in rebounding Wednesday as the Pistons' reserves saw extended playing time in the preseason finale. After being let go by the 76ers in early July, Reed was claimed off waivers by the Pistons to add some depth to the front court. However, he will likely begin the 2024-25 regular season as the third-string center behind starter Jalen Duren and backup Isaiah Stewart.

Heading to Motor City The Pistons claimed Reed off waivers Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reed is on the second year of a three-year, $24 million deal, and he will now join former 76ers teammate, Tobias Harris, in Detroit's frontcourt. The 25-year-old will likely compete for minutes with Isaiah Stewart off the bench behind Jalen Duren. Reed was waived by the 76ers on July 6, and he averaged 7.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks across 19.4 minutes in 82 regular-season games with the club last year.

Released by Philly The 76ers plan to waive Reed on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Reed is currently on a non-guaranteed contract, and Philadelphia plans to waive the big man to open up more cap space. The 25-year-old had a career-best year with Joel Embiid missing significant time, during which Reed averaged 7.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks across 19.4 minutes in 82 regular-season games.

Returns to bench Tuesday Reed is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Impact No real surprises here, as Reed will move back to the bench with the return of Joel Embiid (knee) to the starting unit. Reed has averaged 7.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game over his last 10 appearances off the bench.

Double-double against Spurs Reed ended with 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 133-126 double-overtime victory ov...

Impact It's the seventh double-double of the season for Reed but his first since March 8, while the five assists tied his season high -- a mark he also reached Saturday. The fourth-year center is seeing his usage rise again with Tobias Harris (knee) now missing from the frontcourt along with Joel Embiid (knee), and in the three games Harris has sat out, Reed has averaged 7.3 points, 6.3 boards, 3.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 23.0 minutes a contest.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Reed will start at center in Sunday's matchup with the Spurs.

Impact Reed will replace Joel Embiid (knee) with the starting five. He has averaged 10.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 25.8 minutes in 23 starts this season.

Strong defensive effort in win Reed contributed six points (3-4 FG), five rebounds, five assists and four steals over 23 minutes during Saturday's 116-96 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Reed compiled four steals in the win, continuing to provide viable streaming value despite the return of Joel Embiid. While Reed's upside is limited now that their star center is back in the lineup, he should still be on the radar if you need defensive stats and rebounds.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Impresses off bench Reed registered 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 24 minutes during Sunday's 121-107 win over the Clippers.

Impact This was quite the showing from Reed as he showcased his ability to stuff the stat sheet across the board. His defense and rebounding are definitely his calling cards, as he's averaging 1.6 blocks, 1.2 steals and 7.3 rebounds in March.

Remains productive in reserve role Reed finished with 17 points (7-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 103-95 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact After starting Philadelphia's previous game Wednesday versus Memphis, Reed returned to the bench Friday while Mo Bamba logged a start. The change in roles didn't impact Reed's productivity -- in fact, he played three more minutes, and his totals of 17 points, 11 boards, three blocks and a steal were identical to his previous outing. Reed has been up-and-down as the primary replacement to Joel Embiid (knee), but he has done enough as a rebounder and shot-blocker to justify rostering in most fantasy leagues with Embiid still without a return timetable.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Reed won't start Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Reed returned to the starting lineup Wednesday and posted 17 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks in 24 minutes before fouling out. He'll be replaced by Mo Bamba at center, but Reed should still play plenty of minutes off the bench.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double against Grizzlies Reed notched 17 points (8-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 24 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 115-109 loss to Memphis.

Impact Shifting back into the starting five after coming off the bench for three games, Reed responded with his fifth double-double of the season. Joel Embiid (knee) doesn't appear to be close to returning from knee surgery, so Reed will continue filling a large role in the Sixers' frontcourt, but his production has been erratic. Over 16 games since Embiid went down, Reed is averaging 8.8 points, 7.8 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.3 blocks over 25.4 minutes a contest.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Back with first unit Reed will start Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact After starting in each of the 76ers' 12 games in February, Reed was replaced by Mo Bamba at center to start March. However, Reed will return to the starting lineup Wednesday. In February, Reed averaged 8.0 points and 7.9 rebounds per game.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Friday Reed won't start Friday's game against the Hornets, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Impact With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, Reed has started 14 of Phildelphia's last 15 contests. However, the 76ers are switching things up Friday, replacing Reed with Mo Bamba. Given how depleted the 76ers' frontcourt depth is, Reed figures to see plenty of playing time off the bench, but his fantasy value still takes a hit.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Makes impact on glass Reed amassed eight points (4-6 FG), 12 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 31 minutes during Friday's 104-97 victory over the Cavaliers.

Impact Making his 10th straight start in the absence of Joel Embiid (knee), Reed ripped down double-digit boards for the fourth time, although only two of those turned into double-doubles. During his stint in the Sixers' starting five, the fourth-year center is averaging 8.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.3 blocks in 27.0 minutes a game, as his increased role hasn't resulted in solid fantasy utility in shallower fantasy formats.
