Philadelphia 76ers News and Rumors - NBA

Cameron Payne - Starting sans Maxey Payne will start Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact With Tyrese Maxey (finger) joining Joel Embiid (oblique), VJ Edgecombe (back) and Paul George (suspension) on the sidelines, Payne will enter the starting five for the first time this season. The veteran guard has averaged 5.3 points, 3.0 assists, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 17.0 minutes per game over his last three outings, though he should see a sizable bump in minutes Monday.

VJ Edgecombe - Iffy for Monday Edgecombe (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Edgecombe could miss a third straight game due to a back injury. If he is unable to play, Trendon Watford, Quentin Grimes and Jabari Walker could see expanded roles, especially with Tyrese Maxey (finger) already ruled out.

Tyrese Maxey - To miss at least two games Maxey suffered a right finger sprain in Saturday's loss to Atlanta and will miss at least two games, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact The star point guard exited Saturday's contest with just 16 seconds remaining after colliding with Adem Bona, and the former won't play in Philadelphia's upcoming back-to-back set Monday and Tuesday against the Cavaliers and Grizzlies, respectively. With Maxey sidelined, Cameron Payne and Quentin Grimes are candidates for increased playing time, while Kyle Lowry could enter the rotation. Maxey's next opportunity to play will come Thursday in Detroit.

Dominick Barlow - Another quiet effort Barlow racked up four points (2-5 FG), one rebound, two assists and one block over 26 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Barlow is holding down the fort at power forward for the suspended Paul George, but the former continues to see little usage in the starting lineup. Barlow has averaged 5.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 24.8 minutes per game over his last nine contests, so fantasy managers may be able to find more appealing streaming options.

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Strong all-around showing in return Oubre notched 24 points (10-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Following a two-game absence with an illness, Oubre enjoyed his seventh 20-point effort of the season Saturday. The 30-year-old forward remains worth rostering in the majority of fantasy leagues -- Oubre has averaged 17.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 33.3 minutes per contest while shooting 42.9 percent from deep in his last seven games.

Quentin Grimes - Drops 26 points Saturday Grimes ended with 26 points (9-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 loss to Atlanta.

Impact With VJ Edgecombe dealing with a lumbar contusion, Grimes is experiencing a surge in fantasy value. The 26 points were Grimes' most since the Nov. 30 defeat to the Hawks, and he's now put up at least 16 points in consecutive games after being held to single digits in his prior three contests. Through 10 appearances as a starter in 2025-26, the 25-year-old swingman has averaged 12.8 points, 4.6 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 33.9 minutes per game.
