Philadelphia 76ers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Eric Gordon (wrist) is not expected to return to action any time soon. He will miss a fourth consecutive game on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets, and 76ers head coach Nick Nurse told reporters on Thursday that it could be a lengthy absence for Gordon. The veteran sniper has consulted with two specialists regarding his right wrist sprain, and the 76ers are reportedly seeking additional opinions on the injury. Quentin Grimes and Ricky Council IV have received more work with Gordon out, while newly signed Lonnie Walker IV will be an additional option on the bench.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Kyle Lowry (hip) will not be available for Saturday's clash against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran playmaker has been ruled out for a fourth consecutive game. A couple of weeks ago, Lowry landed on the shelf due to an issue with his right hip. Tyrese Maxey should again eat up all the minutes he can handle at the point guard position, with Jared Butler providing cover off the bench. Since arriving from the Washington Wizards, Butler has averaged 7.5 points and 3.5 assists in 13.8 minutes. However, he logged only four minutes in Thursday's loss to the Boston Celtics.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Kyle Lowry (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Lowry is managing a right hip injury and will miss his third straight game. Lowry has played in 33 games this season and has missed 19 games due to various injuries. This season, Lowry is averaging only 4.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game. Jared Butler should see some minutes off the bench behind starting playmaker Tyrese Maxey, who is returning after suffering a knee injury.

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Eric Gordon (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against Boston Celtics. Gordon has missed two straight games against the Toronto Raptors and the Brooklyn Nets due to a right wrist sprain. The 2024-2025 season has been a rollercoaster for Gordon who's averaging 6.8 points in 19.7 minutes. Quentin Grimes and Ricky Council IV will likely receive additional work in Gordon's absence.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Boston Celtics. Maxey was out on Feb. 12 against the Brooklyn Nets due to a knee contusion, but luckily for the 76ers, he is ready to jump back into action on Thursday night. Joel Embiid (knee) is also expected to play against the Celtics, marking just the 14th time that Maxey, Embiid, and Paul George are all available to suit up for the 76ers. Due to Maxey's return, Jared Butler will have to settle for a bench role.
