Joel Embiid - Shooting woes in Game 1 defeat Embiid finished Monday's 137-98 loss to New York in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 14 points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 25 mi...

Impact Embiid had a productive night at the charity stripe but struggled mightily from the field. After posting back-to-back double-doubles to close out the first round against Boston, the star big man couldn't carry that momentum into this one. While he still finished as Philadelphia's second-leading scorer, his struggles from beyond the arc continued -- he is shooting just 13.6 percent from deep in five postseason games. Embiid and the Sixers will look to steal a game at Madison Square Garden in Game 2 on Wednesday.

Tyrese Maxey - Struggles in Game 1 loss Maxey registered 13 points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 137-98 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference...

Impact After posting a 30-point, 11-rebound double-double in Saturday's Game 7 win over Boston in the first round, Maxey cooled off Monday. The star point guard struggled to find a rhythm on the offensive end, failing to reach the 20-point threshold for the first time this postseason. He was one of five Philadelphia players to score in double figures, though none had more than 17. Maxey will look to bounce back in Game 2 on Wednesday.

Paul George - Paces Philadelphia in blowout loss George supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes in Monday's 137-98 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference S...

Impact George turned in an efficient performance Monday, knocking down a game-high four triples while leading Philadelphia in scoring despite a blowout loss that kept him off the floor in the fourth quarter. The veteran forward also paced the first unit in assists. He has now hit at least three three-pointers in six straight games, scoring 16-plus points in five of them. George will look to remain productive in Game 2 on Wednesday as the Sixers try to steal a game at Madison Square Garden.

Lucy Olsen - Efficient off bench Olsen posted nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's 83-72 preseason win over Atlanta.

Impact Olsen was efficient off the bench during Sunday's matchup, leading the Mystics' reserves in scoring while also contributing in several other categories. The 22-year-old was selected by Washington in the second round of last year's draft and averaged 4.0 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 12.4 minutes per game across 41 appearances during her rookie season. Georgia Amoore will be back in action this year after missing all of last season due to a knee injury, while the Mystics also have several other young contributors, so Olsen may not have enough opportunities to carve out consistent fantasy production in 2026.

Rori Harmon - Fares well off bench Harmon logged six points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four assists and two steals in 18 minutes of Sunday's 83-72 preseason win over the Dream.

Impact Harmon had a tough preseason opener with one point against the Lynx on April 25, but she bounced back nicely Sunday. Harmon, who was the No. 34 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, is hoping to carve out a rotation role ahead of Opening Night.

Kiki Iriafen - Scores in double figures Iriafen logged 11 points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and an assist in 16 minutes during Sunday's 83-72 preseason win over the Dream.

Impact Iriafen missed Washington's preseason opener against the Lynx on April 25 due to a leg injury, but she was productive in her return to action Sunday, as she was one of two players to post double-digit points for the Mystics while also leading the team in blocks. The Mystics drafted Lauren Betts, Angela Dugalic and Cotie McMahon in the first round of this year's draft while also signing Michaela Onyenwere (leg), but Iriafen should have plenty of opportunities to maintain a prominent role during her second professional season.

Angela Dugalic - Scores seven points in win Dugalic produced seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block in 20 minutes of Sunday's 83-72 preseason win over the Dream.

Impact Dugalic made a strong impression off the bench after a dud in the preseason opener -- she went 0-of-7 from the field against the Lynx on April 25. The No. 9 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, Dugalic is likely going to be a key part of the second unit for Opening Night.

Georgia Amoore - Notches eight points in win Amoore finished with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and three steals in 17 minutes of Sunday's 83-72 preseason win over the Dream.

Impact Amoore, who underwent surgery to repair her right ACL injury back in May of 2025, appeared in both preseason games for the Mystics. She's had no limitations in training camp, and she's expected to be a full go ahead of Opening Night.
