Rotoworld Player News

Kelly Oubre

PHI Forward-Guard #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) amassed 24 points (10-of-15 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Hawks.

Back in the 76ers’ lineup after a two-game absence, Oubre looked spry in his 36 minutes on the court. The lone negatives for him were the free-throw percentage and turnovers, with Oubre going 1-of-3 from the charity stripe and committing five turnovers. Depending on what happens with Tyrese Maxey, who injured his right hand during the fourth quarter, Oubre could move up in the offensive pecking order for Philadelphia’s five-game Week 20.
Quentin Grimes

PHI Guard #5

Quentin Grimes accounted for 26 points (9-of-15 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Hawks.

With VJ Edgecome (back) once again sidelined, Grimes remained in the starting lineup despite Kelly Oubre Jr.'s return to action. And he produced a solid stat line, shooting 66.7 percent from the field. The 26 points were two points shy of a season-high for Grimes, who entered Saturday having totaled 32 points in his prior four appearances. Depending on the severity of Tyrese Maxey’s hand injury, Grimes could be a player of even greater importance during Philadelphia’s five-game Week 20.
Tyrese Maxey

PHI Guard #0

Tyrese Maxey (hand) finished Saturday’s loss to the Hawks with 31 points (12-of-22 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, five assists, three steals and three three-pointers.

While Maxey finished Saturday’s defeat with an excellent stat line, that was the furthest thing from anyone’s mind when he left with 16.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. The All-Star guard injured his right hand when he collided with teammate Adem Bona. Maxey was scheduled to undergo X-rays on the hand, but no announcement has been made regarding the injury’s severity. If he has to miss time, Cam Payne and even Kyle Lowry could figure more prominently within the 76ers’ rotation.
Kelly Oubre

PHI Forward-Guard #9

Tyrese Maxey, Quentin Grimes, Kelly Oubre Jr., Dominick Barlow and Adem Bona will start Saturday’s game against the Hawks.

Oubre is back after missing the last two gams with an illness. With VJ Edgecombe (back) out, Grimes will remain in the starting five, with Oubre pushing Trendon Watford to the bench.
VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

VJ Edgecombe (back) is out for Saturday’s game against the Hawks.

Edgecombe hasn’t played since leaving Tuesday’s game against the Spurs with a lumbar contusion. The 20-year-old shooting guard was initially listed as doubtful, so his continued absence isn’t a surprise. Quentin Grimes had 18 points in 31 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz and could start with Edgecombe out again.
VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

VJ Edgecombe (back) is doubtful for Saturday’s game against the Hawks.

Edgecombe is unlikely to play against the Hawks on Saturday as he’s listed as doubtful with a lumbar contusion. The 20-year-old guard missed Wednesday’s win over the Jazz with the same injury. Quentin Grimes, who had 18 points on Wednesday, could start again if Edgecombe remains sidelined.
Kelly Oubre

PHI Forward-Guard #9

Sixers beat writer Adam Aaronson reports that Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) will play in Saturday’s matchup with the Hawks.

Oubre Jr. will be back in action following two games on the sideline, which should send Quentin Grimes back to the bench. Grimes’ production in his pair of spot starts was a bit underwhelming, so fantasy managers who streamed him won’t be heartbroken by this development.
Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

NBC’s Noah Levick reports that Joel Embiid (oblique) will be re-evaluated in one week.

Embiid has missed three straight games and eight of the 76ers’ last 10. Philly is just 2-6 across Embiid’s last eight absences, and the team will hope to get him back sooner rather than later. Until Embiid is back in action, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona should continue to soak up minutes in the frontcourt.
Quentin Grimes

PHI Guard #5

Quentin Grimes accounted for 18 points (7-of-12 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz.

After shooting 1-of-5 from the field and scoring two points in Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs, Grimes received another opportunity to impress on Wednesday. He took advantage of the opportunity, shooting 7-of-8 from two in his 31 minutes. Grimes missed all four of his three-point attempts, but the overall output was solid. Whether he gets another start when the 76ers face the Hawks on Saturday depends on the availability of VJ Edgecombe (back) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness), who did not play against Utah.
Jabari Walker

PHI Forward #33

Jabari Walker amassed 22 points (7-of-12 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz.

There’s no such thing as “garbage time” when you’re looking to earn more opportunities. Walker made the most of his minutes in Tuesday’s blowout loss to the Spurs, scoring 20 points and earning rotation minutes on Wednesday. The 76ers forward put up an efficient 22 points and recorded a double-double against the Jazz, making some personal history. This is the first time in Walker’s NBA career that he’s scored at least 20 points in consecutive games. The 76ers don’t play again until Saturday in Atlanta, so some of the absent players could be available. If not, don’t be surprised if head coach Nick Nurse gives Walker another opportunity. He’s earned it.
