Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) will rejoin the lineup on Friday against the Detroit Pistons. The big man has missed eight games because of a left toe injury. Drummond's return is timely, as the 76ers will be without Guerschon Yabusele (knee) on Friday. He will share backup center duties with Adem Bona, which limits Drummond's fantasy value. The former Piston has averaged 7.1 points and 7.6 rebounds in 19.2 minutes with Philadelphia this season.

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) will not play on Friday against the Detroit Pistons. He is unavailable for the third time this season after the team initially listed him as questionable on the injury report. Yabusele's absence allows Justin Edwards to keep ahold of a starting spot, even with Paul George back in action. Andre Drummond (toe) has been cleared to return to the lineup and will work as Joel Embiid's backup at center.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (finger) remains on the injury report for his finger injury that requires a splint, but he'll be available for the team's Friday night game against the Detroit Pistons. In his first game back while wearing the splint, George had a bit of a rough night going for nine points, two assists, one rebound, three steals, and one block on 3-for-11 shooting. His touch will likely take some time, but he's not a benchable fantasy player at this time.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is off the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Pistons. The 2023 NBA MVP missed a month before returning for Tuesday's win over the Mavericks. Despite the layoff, he had an impressive showing, amassing 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. As expected, Embiid wasn't available on Wednesday versus Miami to rest. With that in mind, the 30-year-old should be featured in all fantasy lineups, and he may see heavy minutes if Andre Drummond (toe) and Guerschon Yabusele (knee) are ruled out.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (finger) will suit up versus the Heat on Wednesday night. The veteran has been banged up all season. However, a finger injury has kept him off the floor for Philadelphia's last five contests. With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, George could be more productive than usual, although his presence could mean less scoring opportunities for Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr.
