76ers' Quentin Grimes: Logs 32 minutes in season opener
Rotowire
Grimes ended Wednesday's 117-116 win over Boston with 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 32 minutes.
Grimes was somewhat passive Wednesday, although the fact he played 32 minutes is encouraging. Coming off what was a dynamic finish to the 2024-25 season, Grimes will be looking to continue that momentum. If and when the 76ers have a healthy roster, Grimes could find himself playing fewer minutes. Until then, he is worth rostering in most formats.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Grimes (personal) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Magic, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
After a lengthy negotiation, Grimes settled for a one-year, $8.7 million qualifying offer at the beginning of October. The team had already left for Abu Dhabi before he agreed to the deal, so he missed the team's first two preseason contests and will miss a third Friday. Grimes has only one more chance to suit up -- Friday, Oct. 17, against the Timberwolves -- before the regular season begins.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Signs qualifying offer
Rotowire
The 76ers signed Grimes (personal) to a one-year, $8.7 million qualifying offer Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Grimes and the 76ers brass have been going back and forth during contract negotiations, which didn't appear to be heading in the right direction. However, now he's back in the fold and has a no-trade clause. He'll become an unrestricted free agent next summer. His participation in the preseason remains uncertain, as it was reported that he wouldn't travel with the team overseas to Dubai before this deal was finalized. After being traded to Philadelphia by the Mavericks, Grimes played in 28 regular-season games, averaging 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 46.9 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from beyond the arc.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Both sides far apart on deal
Rotowire
The 76ers and Grimes remain "very far apart' on a new deal, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Wednesday.
For the first time this offseason, Grimes received a formal offer from the 76ers on Wednesday, but it sounds like he wasn't impressed. In fact, Grimes will not be attending Media Day on Friday and will not travel with the team for their overseas preseason trip this weekend. Charania added that this situation may ultimately come down to Grimes taking the qualifying offer and betting on himself next offseason.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Qualifying offer extended
Rotowire
The 76ers extended an $8.74 million qualifying offer to Grimes on Saturday, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
As expected, Philadelphia has extended a qualifying offer to Grimes, who is now set to become a restricted free agent. The 25-year-old is likely to draw interest from multiple teams after a career-best 2024-25 campaign, during which he averaged 14.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 26.8 minutes per game in 75 regular-season appearances (37 starts) between Dallas and Philadelphia. He also recorded shooting splits of 46.7/38.5/75.7.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Strong finish to season overall
Rotowire
Grimes recorded eight points (3-14 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 122-102 loss to the Bulls.
With the injury-plagued 76ers missing their top three scoring options in the final weeks of the regular season, Grimes stepped up in a big way to wrap up the year. Over his closing 12 contests, Grimes averaged 24.5 points, 5.5 assists, 5.4 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 3.5 three-pointers in 35.1 minutes. The 24-year-old swingman should garner plenty of interest from other teams this offseason, but Grimes is a restricted free agent, so the 76ers have the ability to match any offer he receives.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Questionable for season finale
Rotowire
Grimes (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Grimes missed Friday's game against the Hawks due to a right shoulder sprain, and that same injury has him as a potential game-time call for the regular-season finale. The 76ers don't have anything to play for Sunday, but Grimes will aim to end the season on a high note, as he's been Philadelphia's best player since the All-Star break. He enters the final day of the regular season with averages of 23.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game across 23 appearances since the break.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Grimes is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks with a right shoulder sprain.
This appears to be a new issue for Grimes, but the questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day. However, the 76ers have been super cautious with their key players. If Grimes is unable to play, Lonnie Walker and Jared Butler could soak up a lot of usage for the 76ers.

Grimes posted a double-double Wednesday, leading the 76ers in both dimes and boards to help offset a poor shooting night. The 2021 first-rounder has blossomed into a high-end fantasy asset across all formats while dominating usage for the injury-plagued 76ers, averaging 26.9 points, 5.4 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 3.7 three-pointers 34.4 minutes over his last 15 games.

Rotowire
Grimes posted 28 points (10-18 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 loss to Minnesota.
Grimes endured a rough start to this contest but got hot in the second half, although his final stat line wasn't enough to help Philadelphia pull the upset against the Timberwolves. Grimes has been on a tear in recent weeks and has surpassed the 20-point mark in all but one of his last 13 appearances dating back to March 9.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Hands out 10 assists
Rotowire
Grimes recorded 24 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's 126-113 loss to the Bucks.
Grimes was expected to see more time as a playmaker in the final stages of the season, and while this is just one game, it certainly bodes well for him. The 10 assists tied a season-high mark in that category, and he also continues to thrive as the Sixers' primary scoring weapon. He's reached the 20-point mark in all but one of his last 12 appearances, averaging 27.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.0 steals per game over that stretch.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Scores 15 points in loss
Rotowire
Grimes chipped in 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Saturday's 118-95 loss to the Heat.
There's a strong argument to say Grimes has been Philadelphia's best player since the All-Star break, and the numbers back that up. This 15-point output was a relatively low-scoring figure based on what Grimes has done in recent weeks, as he had recorded at least 20 points in his previous nine contests before this loss Saturday. He's also achieved that mark in 11 of 14 appearances since the beginning of March.
