PAUL REED NEWS

Balanced outing off bench in loss Reed produced seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and three steals over 17 minutes during Thursday's 134-122 loss to Indiana.

Impact Reed led all bench players in rebounds while leading the 76ers with a trio of threes in a well-rounded performance. Reed has posted at least five points and five rebounds in 11 games this season, including in two straight contests. He has now recorded three or more steals in three games.

Back to bench Reed isn't starting Monday's game against the Rockets.

Impact With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, Reed has started seven of Philadelphia's past nine games. However, Embiid will return to action without restrictions Monday, so Reed should revert to a modest bench role. As a reserve this season, Reed has averaged 4.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks in 13.4 minutes per game.

Nick Nurse's Advice To Paul Reed For Filling In For Joel Embiid What advice has Nick Nurse given to Paul Reed to help him settle into his recent starter’s role?

JANUARY 14, 2024 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Posts season-high 16 points Reed closed Saturday's 120-109 loss to the Jazz with 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes.

Impact Reed got the start Saturday with Joel Embiid (knee) ruled out ahead of the game, and scored a season-high 16 points on 58.3 percent shooting. If Embiid sits out of Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Reed would likely fill in as the starter again and carry some fantasy value.

Starting against Utah Reed is in the starting lineup to face the Jazz on Saturday, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Reed will step into the starting lineup with Joel Embiid (knee) out, and while this will represent an uptick to his fantasy upside, he's not going to have the same workload Embiid currently has. Kelly Oubre and Tyrese Maxey are expected to benefit from Embiid's absence.

Returns to bench Reed isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Bulls, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Joel Embiid will replace Reed in the starting lineup Tuesday after missing the last four games with an ankle injury. Reed is averaging 4.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 13.2 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

Scores 11 poinst Saturday Reed racked up 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 105-92 loss to Chicago.

Impact Reed started for the fourth consecutive game with Joel Embiid (ankle) sidelined, and while he delivered a decent stat line, it's clear he's not going to have the same impact as Embiid on the offensive end of the court. Reed is averaging 9.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in that four-game span, and while his fantasy upside has received a bump with Embiid sidelined, his long-term role belongs on the bench.

Season-best effort in spot start Reed chipped in 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 112-92 win over Orlando.

Impact The fourth-year big got the start with Joel Embiid (ankle) sidelined and produced his first double-double of the season, and the seventh of his career, while also making an impact on the defensive end. The 15 points and 10 boards were both season highs for Reed, and he hadn't even scored in double digits since Dec. 1, the last time he got a spot start and played over 20 minutes. Embiid has missed two games so far with his ankle sprain, and should he be out again Friday against the Rockets, Reed figures to be a very popular DFS option.

Draws Christmas day start Reed will start Monday against Miami, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Reed will make his second start of the season and his fourth start of the past two years with Joel Embiid shelved Monday due to an ankle sprain. Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is also out, so Reed profiles as a critical component of Philadelphia's frontcourt against Bam Adebayo. Reed is averaging 11.0 points and 5.7 rebounds across three contests when he's logged 20-plus minutes this season.

Moves back to bench Reed isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Washington.

Impact Joel Embiid's return from a two-game absence will send Reed back to the bench. Reed is averaging 5.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 15.4 minutes across his previous 10 bench appearances.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high scoring in spot start Reed accumulated 14 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 21 minutes during Friday's 125-119 loss to Boston.

Impact The fourth-year forward got the start at center with Joel Embiid (illness) unavailable and responded with a season high in points. Reed has only scored in double digits three times all year, but those performances have all come within the last nine games -- a stretch in which he's averaging 7.0 points, 4.2 boards, 0.9 blocks and 0.7 steals in just 16.7 minutes a night while shooting 60.0 percent from the floor.

Enters starting lineup Reed will start Friday's game against Boston, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact Joel Embiid (illness) is sitting out Friday's game, so Reed will start at center with Marcus Morris replacing Nicolas Batum (finger, out) at power forward. Reed offers plenty of fantasy upside, particularly in category leagues. In his last outing against the Pelicans on Wednesday, Reed had nine points, five assists, four rebounds and one steal.

Strong defense in Embiid's absence Reed logged 10 points (5-9 FG), nine rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 112-99 loss to Minnesota.

Impact With Joel Embiid (hip) sidelined, Reed was given extra run, though he surprisingly came off the bench while Marcus Morris got the start. Reed continues to prove that, when given the minutes, he can produce excellent fantasy numbers. However, head coach Nick Nurse has shown hesitancy to play Reed and Embiid together, capping the 24-year-old's upside.

Efficient against Boston Reed contributed 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 117-107 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Although Reed came off the bench once again Wednesday, he was efficient from the floor to score in double figures for the first time this year, and he also matched his season-high mark of six rebounds. Joel Embiid has played through a hip injury recently, and Reed would likely carry some streaming value if the 2022-23 NBA MVP is forced to miss any time. Reed has been relatively consistent on the boards early in the season but hasn't generated much production in other areas.
