Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against Denver. He may be out for a third consecutive game due to a knee issue. Joel Embiid (knee) will not be on the court, and Andre Drummond (toe) is also questionable, meaning Philadelphia might be forced to roll with an extremely shorthanded frontcourt against Nikola Jokic. Adem Bona and Pete Nance shared the minutes at center against Milwaukee on Sunday. They will play significant roles again versus the Nuggets if Yabusele and Drummond can't make it.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (foot) remains out for Tuesday's tilt against Denver. The 24-year-old is working his way back from a left foot stress reaction. It was reported last week that Martin Jr. has been cleared for on-court activities but remains without a clear timeline for his return to action. Martin Jr. averaged 6.4 points and 3.0 rebounds across 20.0 minutes before landing on the shelf. With Philadelphia also battling other injuries, Jeff Dowtin Jr., Justin Edwards, and Ricky Council IV have stepped into the rotation, while veteran Eric Gordon has seen an uptick in playing time.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Caleb Martin (hip) will be out for a sixth consecutive game on Tuesday versus Denver. Martin is struggling to shake off a right hip sprain. The former Heat man has seen regular action as a starter this season in Philadelphia, averaging 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists. Martin's absence allows Justin Edwards and Ricky Council IV to feature more in the rotation. The former has logged at least 22 minutes in five consecutive games, although Edwards' performances have been inconsistent, making him a tough sell for fantasy managers.
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Kyle Lowry (hip) will not be available for Tuesday's matchup against Denver. His absence will stretch to a ninth consecutive game as Lowry continues to deal with a hip sprain. Starting point guard Tyrese Maxey has logged 40-plus minutes regularly with Lowry out, while Jeff Dowtin Jr.'s role has grown in the rotation. He has logged 21.3 minutes per game across the past four games, averaging 9.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. Lowry's next opportunity to return will come on Friday against Cleveland.
Philadelphia 76ers guard Paul George (groin) is questionable heading into Tuesday's game in Denver. The multi-time All-Star hasn't been the healthiest throughout the 2024-25 campaign, missing time for various reasons. However, his latest ailment, a groin strain, has recently kept him off the floor for Philadelphia's previous two contests. With Joel Embiid (knee) still on the shelf, Tyrese Maxey, who scored 37 points and shot 14-for-28 from the field on Sunday versus the Bucks, could continue to see an increase in fantasy production if George is also out of the equation. That would also apply to Ricky Council IV, who has averaged 14.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.7 steals in three starts this season.
