Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) won't play on Tuesday night versus OKC. The veteran is averaging 24.4 points and 7.9 rebounds this season, a significant decline from the 2023-24 campaign. Even worse, he's only appeared in 13 games. At this point, fantasy managers are starting to lose hope about his long-term ability to remain healthy. With Andre Drummond (toe) also out versus the Thunder, Guerschon Yabusele, averaging 10.1 points and 6.4 rebounds in 16 starts this season, is worst starting in all fantasy formats.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) will not return to action in Sunday's matchup against Orlando. He will miss a fourth consecutive game after being initially regarded as questionable for the contest. Philadelphia will also be without Andre Drummond (toe), meaning Guerschon Yabusele is set for another busy outing. Adem Bona will serve as the backup center. Yabusele was quiet in the last game against New Orleans, but he has averaged a solid 10.8 points and 6.3 rebounds for the month.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) won't play on Sunday versus Orlando. The toe sprain continues to plague the 31-year-old, who will now miss a fourth consecutive contest. With Joel Embiid (foot, face) questionable, Drummond could have found himself in the starting lineup. However, if Embiid doesn't suit up against the Magic, Guerschon Yabusele will likely handle things in the middle. The 2016 No. 16 overall pick has played well enough in his 15 starts this season, averaging 10.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists, giving him some upside for fantasy managers.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Kyle Lowry (hip) will miss a fourth consecutive contest on Sunday against Orlando. The veteran guard is battling a hip sprain, and it's unclear when Lowry will be able to make a comeback. On Friday, 76ers head coach Nick Nurse said there is no timeline for Lowry's return. There appears to be no beneficiary of his absence either, as Reggie Jackson has continued to see very few minutes, with the team leaning heavily on starting point guard Tyrese Maxey, who has surpassed the 40-minute mark twice in four games.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) is questionable for Sunday's game against Orlando. The former MVP has been out for three games, but 76ers head coach Nick Nurse has labeled him day-to-day, giving hope that Embiid is close to returning. The 76ers could undoubtedly use an extra big body, with Andre Drummond (toe) also out of commission. Guerschon Yabusele and Adem Bona have shared the center minutes in recent games. Yabusele is looking at another start if Embiid doesn't return on Sunday. The Frenchman has been solid in the role, averaging 10.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists.
