Paul George - Limited in practice George (knee) was a partial participant in Thursday's practice but did not scrimmage, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact George missed Philadelphia's regular-season opener Wednesday while dealing with a left bone bruise and is scheduled to be re-evaluated later this week. The star forward's limitations in practice are a bad sign of his availability for Friday's matchup with Toronto.

NBA is investigating Joel Embiid's playing status after he misses season opener

The NBA is now investigating why Joel Embiid didn't play in the 76ers' nationally televised season-opener against the Bucks.

NBA is investigating Joel Embiid's playing status after he misses season opener
Andre Drummond - Productive despite defeat Drummond closed Wednesday's 124-109 loss to the Bucks with 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and 13 rebounds in 25 minutes.
Impact Drummond got the start at center with Joel Embiid (knee) out, and with the latter being unavailable for the rest of the week, Drummond should make the most of that to paddle stats on both ends of the court as the 76ers' starting center. Drummond might not get a lot of touches on offense on a regular basis, but that won't matter much as long as he can rebound like he has done off the bench in previous seasons. An average scoring tally and his elite rebounding numbers would be enough to keep him relevant in most fantasy formats going forward.
OCTOBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Kelly Oubre Jr. - Goes for 21 points in loss Oubre ended with 21 points (8-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 loss to Milwaukee.
Impact Oubre moved to small forward with Paul George (knee) out and made the most of the opportunity, reaching the 20-point plateau despite struggling a bit with his shot and overall efficiency. Oubre figures to be a regular for the 76ers all season long, even when the Sixers will be at full strength, but he should see more touches -- and thus, have considerably more upside in fantasy -- as long as George and Joel Embiid (knee) remain sidelined.
OCTOBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Tyrese Maxey - Scores 25 in loss Wednesday Maxey had 25 points (10-31 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 loss to the Bucks.
Impact The 76ers were without Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) for this season opener, so it wasn't surprising to see Maxey operating as the team's go-to threat on offense, but he lacked support from his teammates to avoid the defeat. Maxey has proven he can lead an offense in the past, and even though the absences of George and Embiid conspire against the 76ers' contender status, they should boost Maxey's fantasy upside, at least on a short-term scenario.

Impact With Paul George (knee) and Joel Embiid (knee) out, Philadelphia will start Tyrese Maxey, Eric Gordon, Kelly Oubre, KJ Martin and Andre Drummond. Caleb operated off the bench for most of his career in Miami, so it's a role he's comfortable with, though it likely limits his fantasy upside a bit.
