Philadelphia 76ers News and Rumors - NBA

Dominick Barlow - Opts out of MRI Head coach Nick Nurse said Thursday that the 76ers opted out of imaging for Barlow (back), who is feeling better, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Barlow played just eight minutes Wednesday against Cleveland before leaving the game for good. Not requiring an MRI is encouraging news for Barlow's return, but he should still be deemed questionable in Friday's rematch with the Cavaliers. If Barlow ends up missing time, expect Jabari Walker and Trendon Watford to see additional playing time for the forseeable future.

76ers vs. Cavaliers Prediction, Odds, Picks - Jan. 16

Tyrese Maxey - Struggles in loss Wednesday Maxey ended with 14 points (5-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 133-107 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Maxey couldn't get anything going on the offensive end, turning in one of his poorer performances thus far this season. While it was a rough night, Maxey can certainly be forgiven, based on the body of work he has produced through the first 37 games. In that time, he has averaged 30.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 3.7 three-pointers and 2.7 combined steals and blocks, establishing himself as an elite fantasy asset across all formats.

Andre Drummond - Grabs nine boards Drummond ended Wednesday's 133-107 loss to Cleveland with seven points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and nine rebounds across 12 minutes.

Impact Drummond pulled down a team-high nine rebounds, although he was limited to just 12 minutes off the bench. With Joel Embiid relatively healthy at the moment, Drummond's role has reduced significantly. He has played in just 10 games over the past month, averaging 6.5 points and 7.4 rebounds. At best, he should be viewed as a streaming option, if and when Embiid misses time.

Quentin Grimes - Modest production continues Grimes provided eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 133-107 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Grimes continues to struggle, having scored single digits in three of the past four games. Inconsistent minutes have subsequently impacted his ability to build any momentum on the offensive end, limiting his overall fantasy appeal. Over his past four games, Grimes has averaged just 8.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers, leaving him outside the top 200 in standard leagues.

Dominick Barlow - X-Rays negative; headed for MRI Head coach Nick Nurse said that Barlow's (back) X-Rays came back negative, but he'll get an MRI on Thursday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact Barlow went down hard on a drive to the hoop during Wednesday's loss to the Cavs and did not return, and while X-Rays came back negative, he's not out of the woods just yet. We'll have a better idea on the extent of Barlow's back injury after his MRI results are released, but for now, he should be considered doubtful for Friday's rematch with Cleveland. If Barlow needs to miss time, Andre Drummond, Kelly Oubre and Trendon Watford will help pick up the slack.

Dominick Barlow - Won't return Wednesday Barlow has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to a back contusion, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Barlow took a hard fall earlier in the game and required assistance to make it back to the locker room. He's been deemed unable to return with what the 76ers are calling a back contusion. Barlow's next chance to play will come Friday in a rematch with the Cavaliers. In the meantime, look for Trendon Watford and Jabari Walker to pick up the slack.

Paul George - Available to play George (knee) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Cavs, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact George was initially being listed as probable and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. George has been providing mid-round value on the season with averages of 15.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.4 triples and 1.3 steals per game.

Joel Embiid - Cleared to face Cavs Embiid (knee/adductor) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Embiid has been tending to a knee and adductor issue, which resulted in a probable tag for Wednesday's game. However, he'll shed the designation and suit up against Cleveland. In his last seven games, Embiid is averaging 27.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 blocks across 34 minutes.

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Good to go Wednesday Oubre (illness/injury management) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact Oubre was a late addition to the injury report but will be available Wednesday. Since returning Jan. 7 from a 22-game absence due to a left knee sprain, the forward is averaging 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 24.8 minutes per game over the past four contests (one start).

VJ Edgecombe - Officially available Edgecombe (adductor) is available for Wednesday's game against Cleveland, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact Edgecombe carried a probable tag into Wednesday's contest, so it's no surprise to see him available. The rookie guard had been dealing with a bruised left adductor. He's been in a bit of a scoring rut recently, averaging 13.6 points while shooting 37.5 percent from the field over his last five games, but he's made up for it elsewhere, averaging 7.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 steals during that stretch.

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Now probable Wednesday Oubre is probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to an illness.

Impact Considering the 76ers didn't include Oubre on their initial injury report, the forward presumably woke up Wednesday a bit under the weather. Oubre remains likely to play, having averaged 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 24.6 minutes per contest in his last four games.
