Although the superstar big man's lack of availability has been frustrating in 2025-26, there's no denying his impact on the court when healthy. Embiid has averaged 31.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.0 blocks in 32.9 minutes per tilt in his last 10 appearances, shooting 52.5 percent from the field.

Rotowire
Barlow posted three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds in 15 minutes during Saturday's 118-114 victory over the Hornets.
Barlow hung onto the starting spot at power forward despite the return of Kelly Oubre on Saturday, though that could change once the latter becomes further removed from his elbow injury. Over his last 10 games, Barlow has averaged a modest 7.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.9 blocks in 23.9 minutes per contest.

That's now five straight games in double figures in scoring for Edgecombe. During that span, the rookie first-rounder is averaging 26.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.6 three-pointers in 35.6 minutes per game while shooting a blistering 51.4 percent from beyond the arc.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: No rust in return
Rotowire
Maxey (finger) generated 26 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds, one steal and one block across 43 minutes in Saturday's 118-114 win over the Hornets.
It was Maxey's first game since March 7, as the 25-year-old guard missed 10 straight games with a finger injury. However, he didn't need any time to reacclimate to game action, knocking down over 50 percent of his shot attempts while making significant contributions in the peripheral categories. Going back to early February, Maxey has now scored more than 20 points in 14 consecutive appearances.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Gets green light Saturday
Rotowire
Maxey (finger) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Maxey will shed his questionable tag and return from a 10-game absence due to a tendon injury in his right pinkie finger. The star point guard's return will leave fewer minutes available for guys like Cameron Payne, Justin Edwards and Quentin Grimes. Over nine appearances since the All-Star break, Maxey has averaged 29.3 points, 6.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 3.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 36.2 minutes per game, though it's unclear if he'll see a full workload during his return.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Tracking toward playing
Rotowire
Oubre (elbow) is trending toward being available for Saturday's game against Charlotte, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Oubre was officially listed as questionable for Saturday's contest, but it looks like he'll be back in action for the first time since March 10. Oubre could have his minutes monitored Saturday, but his anticipated return would spell fewer opportunities for Justin Edwards and Quentin Grimes.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Trending toward playing Saturday
Rotowire
Barring any pregame setbacks, Maxey (finger) is trending toward being available for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
It appears as though Maxey has progressed enough in his recovery from a right finger sprain to play Saturday in what would be his first game since March 7, though his official status will be confirmed closer to the 6:00 p.m. ET tipoff. His return would give the Sixers a significant boost -- especially on offense -- and would likely result in Quentin Grimes reverting to a bench role. In his 10 games prior to his injury, Maxey had averaged 29.6 points, 5.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 3.1 threes, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks over 35.8 minutes per game.
Oubre (elbow) is questionable for Saturday's game against Charlotte.
Oubre indicated he will play Saturday, although he's officially listed as questionable on the league's official injury report. If he does suit up, he might see less work than usual, considering he has been sidelined since March 10.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Maxey (finger) is questionable for Saturday's game in Charlotte.
It was reported March 10 that Maxey would be re-evaluated in three weeks, which would have ruled him out for the rest of March, but he appears to be ahead of schedule. If Maxey is cleared to return, Quentin Grimes would likely head back to the second unit and Cameron Payne's minutes could see a sizable dip.
Oubre (elbow) said he will play Saturday against the Hornets, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Oubre was re-evaluated Wednesday and cleared to return to on-court workouts. He's been sidelined since March 10, so the 76ers may ease him back into action with a modest workload.
