Kelly Oubre Jr. - Tepid production in return Oubre (knee) registered two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three assists, two steals and one assist across 20 minutes Wednesday in the 76ers' 131-110 win over the Wizards.

Impact Oubre had started in each of the 76ers' first 12 games on the season, but after missing 22 consecutive contests due to a left knee sprain before gaining clearance to play Wednesday, the veteran wing came off the bench and operated with a heavy minutes restriction. After averaging 16.8 points per game prior to getting hurt, Oubre took on a much more muted role on offense in his return, handling a season-low 8.8 percent usage rate. Oubre could still see his minutes and usage pick up a bit in future contests, but he'll likely struggle to return to his pre-injury level of production now that Paul George has been back to full health for a while now after he had been sidelined for the first 12 games of the season.

Joel Embiid - Added to injury report Embiid is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic due to left knee injury management, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Impact Embiid has looked like his old self over his club's last five games, but he finds himself on the injury report yet again leading up to Friday's clash, likely as a precaution. The team will presumably monitor the big man closely during shootaround and pregame warmups before determining his availability in Orlando.

Trendon Watford - Not part of rotation in return Watford (adductor) played the final 4:45 of Wednesday's 131-110 win over the Wizards, finishing with three assists and no other statistics during his time on the court.

Impact Available to play for the first time since Nov. 25 after a lengthy absence due to a left adductor strain, Watford wasn't included in head coach Nick Nurse's main rotation, as he didn't enter the contest until the 76ers had already built a 17-point lead in the waning minutes of the game. The 25-year-old forward could eventually emerge as a rotation option once he's further removed from the adductor strain, but he may need the 76ers to be without one or more key contributors in order to see meaningful minutes.

Jared McCain - Sees just 11 minutes McCain finished Wednesday's 131-110 victory over Washington with two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 11 minutes.

Impact The 76ers had their entire roster available Wednesday, and the return of Kelly Oubre is likely to spell trouble for McCain. McCain is averaging just 15.1 minutes over his last four contests, and he can be safely monitored from the waiver wire for the time being.

Andre Drummond - Sees 12 minutes in win Drummond finished Wednesday's 131-110 win over the Wizards with 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 12 minutes.

Impact Drummond recently fell out of the rotation for the 76ers, but he saw some action in garbage time Wednesday due to the lopsided score. With the entire Philadelphia frontcourt in good health, Drummond can be monitored from the waiver wire in most formats.

Dominick Barlow - Sees 23 minutes in win Barlow amassed 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 131-110 win over the Wizards.

Impact The 76ers had their full roster available for the first time this season, and Barlow kept his spot with the starters and saw a decent workload. He's made a strong impression on the 76ers, and he currently holds averages of 8.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 24.9 minutes per contest.

VJ Edgecombe - Career-high five steals in win Edgecombe racked up 13 points (4-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and five steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 131-110 victory over Washington.

Impact The five steals were a career high for the third overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and they marked the fifth straight game in which Edgecombe had recorded multiple pilfers. He's also scored in double digits in 14 straight games, averaging 18.4 points, 5.0 boards, 4.1 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.8 steals over that stretch.

Impact The 25-year-old guard scored at least 20 points for a seventh straight game, and the Sixers' offense hums to life now that the roster is fully healthy. Over that stretch, Maxey is averaging 29.9 points, 7.6 assists, 5.0 boards, 4.1 threes, 2.1 steals and 1.3 blocks.

Paul George - Strikes for 23 in Wednesday's win George recorded 23 points (7-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 131-110 victory over the Wizards.

Impact The veteran forward bounced back from a quiet eight-point performance Monday against the Nuggets, scoring 20-plus points for the first time since Dec. 14. George has scored in double digits in 11 of 13 games since beginning to see his usual court time in early December, averaging 16.9 points, 5.5 boards, 3.8 assists, 2.9 threes and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes a contest.

Impact Embiid's 25 minutes played were tied for his fewest since returning from a nine-game absence Nov. 30. Still, he had another highly productive offensive game. He knocked down 71.4 percent of his field goal attempts and scored at least 25 points for the sixth time in seven games. During that seven-game stretch., Embiid is averaging 28.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 blocks across 33.7 minutes.
