Philadelphia 76ers News and Rumors - NBA

Joel Embiid - Tabbed probable Embiid is listed as probable for Thursday's game against Houston due to right ankle injury management, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Embiid sat out the second end of a back-to-back set Tuesday, but it looks like he'll be back in action for Thursday's contest. The big man is coming off back-to-back 30-point performances, and he's averaging 24.2 points per game this season.

Paul George - Questionable for Thursday George is questionable for Thursday's game against Houston due to left knee injury management, per Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com.

Impact George is trying to put a two-game absence behind him Thursday. Over his last 11 contests, the star forward has averaged 15.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.6 minutes per game. If George is able to play, Kelly Oubre would likely head to bench against the Rockets.

Adem Bona - Double-doubles off bench Bona ended Tuesday's 116-110 loss to the Suns with 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks over 26 minutes.

Impact Joel Embiid was given the night off for rest on the second leg of this back-to-back set. Andre Drummond drew the start and pulled down 15 rebounds in 22 minutes, but Bona also put together a solid display for the 76ers. Looking ahead, the next back-to-back set for Philadelphia begins on Jan. 26.

Quentin Grimes - Notches 12 points Grimes had 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, five assists and three steals in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 116-110 loss to the Suns.

Impact This was a strong showing for Grimes, though he's been pretty quiet in recent weeks. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 25.7 minutes per contest with 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 three-pointers on 42.4 percent shooting from the field.

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Connects on five triples in loss Oubre logged 21 points (6-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 34 minutes during the 76ers' 116-110 loss to the Suns on Tuesday.

Impact Oubre started in a second consecutive game due to the absence of Paul George (knee), and the former capitalized by connecting on a season-high five three-pointers to finish as the 76ers' second-leading scorer behind VJ Edgecombe (25 points). The 76ers' next game takes place Thursday against the Rockets, and Oubre would likely remain in the starting lineup if George is not cleared to return.

Tyrese Maxey - Struggles vs. Phoenix Maxey logged 20 points (7-25 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven assists, two rebounds, three steals and one block over 43 minutes during the 76ers' 116-110 loss to the Suns on Tuesday.

Impact Maxey played a game-high 43 minutes despite playing the second leg of the 76ers' back-to-back set. That potential fatigue may have influenced his shot-making ability Tuesday, though he was still active on offense with a game-high seven assists. Maxey also showed off his defensive chops again with three steals, one day after recording a career-high eight swipes in Monday's win against the Pacers. Since Jan. 1, he has averaged 27.7 points, 5.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 threes, 2.8 steals and 1.4 blocks over 38.5 minutes per game.

VJ Edgecombe - Tallies 25 points in loss Edgecombe recorded 25 points (10-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 37 minutes during the 76ers' 116-110 loss to the Suns on Tuesday...

Impact Edgecombe stepped into a larger role offensively due to the absences of Joel Embiid (ankle/injury management) and Paul George (knee). Tyrese Maxey struggled from the field (7-25 FG), but Edgecombe's efforts helped the Sixers keep pace on the second night of a back-to-back. It was Edgecombe's 11th 20-plus-point performance of the season and his most points in a game since Jan. 3 against the Knicks (26 points). The rookie first-rounder has earned a prominent role for himself for the 76ers, and he'll have opportunities for big nights in games where one or both of Embiid and George do not play.

Andre Drummond - Starting sans Embiid Drummond is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Suns, per Ky Carlin of USA Today.

Impact Joel Embiid (ankle) is receiving a maintenance day Tuesday, allowing Drummond to enter the first unit. Drummond makes sense as a plug-and-play fantasy option, averaging 9.0 points, 10.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.8 blocks in 26.6 minutes per tilt across 15 games as a starter this season.

Paul George - Won't play Tuesday George (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Impact George will miss both halves of this back-to-back set due to left knee injury management, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Thursday against the Rockets. With the veteran forward sidelined, Kelly Oubre will remain in the starting five, while Jabari Walker and Quentin Grimes are candidates to see an uptick in playing time.

Impact It wasn't Edgecombe's finest performance, but he's still building up quite the impressive resume in his rookie season as a whole. The No. 3 overall pick has averaged 14.7 points, 5.1 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 37.2 minutes per contest in 10 games this month.
