Johni Broome - Undergoes surgery Broome underwent a successful partial meniscectomy Saturday to address a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, per Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com.

Impact The procedure was performed by Dr. Riley Williams at HSS in New York, and the 76ers announced that Broome will be re-evaluated in four weeks. While the team previously noted that surgery could potentially end the rookie's season, a meniscectomy typically carries a shorter recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks compared to a full repair. Broome sustained the injury on Feb. 21 while playing for the G League's Delaware Blue Coats. The second-round pick out of Auburn has appeared in just 11 games for Philadelphia this season, averaging 0.9 points and 1.5 rebounds in 5.0 minutes per contest.

Right oblique strain rules out Sixers' Joel Embiid for at least three games Big games coming up, too: Boston and San Antonio

Joel Embiid - Has oblique strain, out three games Embiid will be sidelined for the 76ers' next three games due to a right oblique strain, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact Embiid reported soreness on his right side following the 76ers' win over the Heat on Thursday, and further tests have revealed that the former MVP is dealing with an oblique strain. The injury is severe enough to sideline Embiid for at least the next three games, which makes March 7 against the Hawks his next first opportunity to return. In Embiid's absence, Andre Drummond should serve as the Sixers' starting center while Adem Bona elevates to backup duties.

Joel Embiid - Dealing with side soreness Embiid did not participate in Saturday morning's practice due to right side soreness, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Impact Embiid felt the issue crop up after Thursday's 124-117 win over the Heat, when he logged 26 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes. Per Kyle, Embiid will consult with team doctors Saturday, and the injury report should provide more clarity on the 2023-24 MVP's status ahead of Sunday's Atlantic division road tilt against the Celtics. Andre Drummond and Adem Bona would take on larger roles if Embiid is not cleared to play Sunday.

Celtics vs. 76ers Prediction, Odds, Picks - March 1

Andre Drummond - Drops out of rotation Drummond (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Thursday in the 76ers' 124-117 win over the Heat.

Impact Drummond saw action each of the 76ers' previous six games and started on four occasions, but he never appeared to be in line for a long-term stay in the rotation. Top center Joel Embiid was out of the lineup for five of those contests due to shin and knee injuries, and Drummond's minutes were limited to garbage time during the lone game in which Embiid was active during that stretch. With Thursday's game proving to be more competitive while Embiid made his second start in a row, head coach Nick Nurse kept Drummond on the bench and leaned exclusively on Adem Bona as the team's backup center.

Justin Edwards - Assigned to G League The 76ers assigned Edwards to the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Friday, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact Edwards has totaled just 16 minutes over his last three games with Philadelphia, and it looks the recent signing of Cameron Payne has left him as the odd man out in the rotation. Edwards is likely to occupy a featured role with the Blue Coats for the time being, though.

Dominick Barlow - Muted effort in win Barlow chipped in nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 win over the Heat.

Impact This was another quiet showing for Barlow, but the minutes were at least encouraging -- he's been playing more while Paul George is serving his suspension. Over his last five games, he's averaging 5.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 26.1 minutes per contest.

Impact Oubre was limited to just 12 points during Tuesday's win over the Pacers, but he was more aggressive with his shot selection Thursday evening and hit some key buckets down the stretch to help deliver the win for Philly. Oubre finished with a team-best plus-12 differential and played a pivotal role in the 76ers' first win over the Heat since 2024.
