76ers' Jared McCain: Limited again Monday
McCain (bruise) was a partial participant at Monday's practice, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
McCain did everything except the final scrimmage, so this is essentially the same update reported after Sunday's practice. It sounds like McCain could be ready for Opening Night on Wednesday against the Bucks, but more clarity won't be known until the 76ers release their injury report Tuesday.

76ers' Paul George: Limited to individual work
George (knee) was able to do some individual work at Monday's practice, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
George did not go through Philadelphia's regular practice and obviously didn't take part in the scrimmage either. He's currently considered day-to-day with a knee bone bruise, and imaging revealed no structural damage. George will be re-evaluated Tuesday, at which point his status for Opening Night against the Bucks on Wednesday will be known.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Limited at practice
Embiid (knee) was a limited participant at Monday's practice, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
Embiid was able to do everything but the final scrimmage, as the 76ers continue to exercise caution. This should be par for the course this season, as the franchise has made it very clear that they want to tread carefully. Embiid's status for Wednesday's game against the Bucks has yet to be determined, though Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer notes that the big man may need to participate in multiple five-on-five scrimmages to improve his conditioning and build chemistry with his teammates before getting the green light to suit up.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Healthy ahead of regular season
Coach Nick Nurse said Sunday that Maxey (thumb) is "okay" and was only pulled from Friday's preseason matchup against the Magic as a precautionary measure, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Maxey logged five minutes before being pulled due to a right thumb contusion Friday. However, the 23-year-old is expected to be fully healthy ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bucks and should not face a minutes restriction to begin the season.

76ers' Jared McCain: Participating in drills Sunday
McCain (bruised lungs) took part in drills during Sunday's practice but will not participate in the club's scrimmage, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Philadelphia has been working back its 2024 first-round pick after a hard fall during Wednesday's preseason game against the Nets. McCain was sent to the hospital due to the fall, but he has showed signs of improvement while participating in on-court activities and drills. While the 20-year-old won't suit up for the team's scrimmage, his participation in drills bodes well for a potential return during the 76ers' regular-season opener against the Bucks on Wednesday.

76ers' Eric Gordon: Has forgetful night Friday
Gordon amassed three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3PT) in 18 minutes during Friday's 114-99 preseason loss to the Magic.
Gordon was given the starting nod Friday but failed to deliver. Now in the twilight of his career, Gordon is merely a depth piece for the 76ers, providing them with a three-point scoring threat off the bench. While he will almost certainly have a handful of vintage performances throughout the season, Gordon is not someone who needs to be drafted, even in deeper formats.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Woeful performance Friday
Lowry recorded two points (0-6 FG, 0-3 3PT, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to Orlando.
Lowry struggled again Friday, continuing his rough preseason. At this point, Lowry could very well be a spent force, making him a non-factor in the majority of fantasy leagues. Barring a turnaround, there is no reason to consider drafting him outside of very deep formats.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Hauls in 20 rebounds Friday
Drummond finished with 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 FT), 20 rebounds, three steals and one assist in 26 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Magic.
Drummond was a beast on the boards, pulling down 20 rebounds despite the loss. With Joel Embiid set to miss at least 15 games this season, if not more, Drummond is firming up as a viable late-round target as a backup center. If you are willing to take a chance on Embiid in the first round, Drummond makes sense as an insurance policy late in drafts.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Struggles from field
Lowry tallied two points (0-6 FG, 0-3 3PT, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in the 76ers' 114-99 loss to the Magic on Friday.
Lowry returned from a one-game absence for rest. The veteran point guard is expected to back up Tyrese Maxey (thumb) at point guard this season.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Won't return Friday
Maxey is dealing with a right thumb contusion and won't return to Friday's preseason game against the Magic, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports. He finishes the game scoreless (0-1 FG) and with one assist in five minutes.
The 76ers are being extremely cautious with their star players and aren't going to risk Maxey in a meaningless preseason game. The star guard will sit out the rest of the contest with the focus of being 100 percent healthy for the regular-season opener against Milwaukee next Wednesday.

76ers' Jared McCain: Trending in right direction
McCain (bruised lungs) was able to run on the treadmill without any issues Friday and is expected back for on-court activity by Saturday, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
McCain sustained the injury after a hard fall during Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Nets. While he is considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener versus the Bucks, it bodes well for the rookie that he will get back to practice before the regular season.

76ers' Jared McCain: Won't play in preseason finale
The 76ers announced Thursday that McCain has been diagnosed with a pulmonary contusion and has not displayed symptoms consistent with a concussion. The rookie guard will be out for Friday's preseason game against the Magic and will be evaluated daily, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
While McCain will be sidelined for Philadelphia's preseason finale, it appears he has avoided a concussion. The rookie guard's next chance to suit up is the team's regular-season opener against Milwaukee on Oct. 23. McCain is expected to compete for bench minutes in the 76er's backcourt this season.

76ers' Jared McCain: Released from hospital
The 76ers announced Thursday that McCain (bruised lungs) was discharged from the hospital earlier this morning and is at home resting. He will be further evaluated later Thursday and an update will be provided as appropriate, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.
McCain was sent to the hospital after bruising his lungs during Wednesday's preseason game against the Nets. While it is good news to hear that the rookie guard has been released, the severity of his injury is unclear. McCain's next chance to suit up is Friday's preseason matchup with Orlando.

76ers' KJ Martin: Scores 12 points Wednesday
Martin posted 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and a steal across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 117-95 preseason win over the Nets.
Martin got the start in this preseason contest with Paul George (knee) sidelined, and it wouldn't be surprising if he gets the start in the regular-season opener against the Bucks on Oct. 23 if George isn't 100 percent ready to return. Martin played a career-low 12.4 minutes per game in 2023-24 while seeing time with the Clippers and 76ers across 60 regular-season appearances, and if he starts in the regular-season opener, he'd likely play a minimal role in the offensive scheme.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Leads Phiiladelphia in scoring
Oubre posted 18 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds and an assist across 21 minutes in Wednesday's 117-95 preseason win over the Nets.
Oubre led the way offensively for a 76ers team missing Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee). Even though he figures to see a minor role on offense when the team is at full strength, he can step up and embrace a more significant role whenever one of the stars is missing, which might be often considering Embiid's potential resting schedule and injury history, as well as George's own injury concerns. Oubre featured in 68 regular-season games (52 starts) for the 76ers last year and averaged 15.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals over 30.2 minutes per game.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Strong two-way play
Drummond finished with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, a steal and a block across 13 minutes in Wednesday's 117-95 preseason win over the Nets.
Drummond continues to start in place of Joel Embiid (knee), who won't see action until the start of the regular season against the Bucks on Oct. 23. Drummond is a solid option in most fantasy formats even if he plays off the bench, as Embiid is likely to be rested on a regular basis, and Drummond can also deliver strong stat lines in limited minutes.

76ers' Jared McCain: Checking into hospital
McCain (undisclosed) will be checked out at a hospital after Wednesday's preseason game against the Nets, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
McCain took a hard fall late in the fourth quarter and appeared to have the wind knocked out of him before heading to the locker room. The 76ers medical staff's evaluation of McCain included concussion testing, but specifics regarding the injury aren't fully available. McCain will undergo further evaluation at a hospital following the contest. The 76ers have one more preseason game -- Friday at Orlando -- before starting the regular season Oct. 23.

76ers' Jared McCain: Headed to locker room
McCain went back to the locker room after taking a hard fall during Wednesday's preseason game against the Nets, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.
The specifics of McCain's injury are unknown, but part of the medical staff's evaluation is for a concussion, per Austin Krell of USA Today. It wouldn't be surprising to see the rookie held out as a precaution. After spending some time on the floor, McCain was able to walk off the hardwood and into the locker room with minimal help, which is encouraging. While he's out, Jeff Dowtin and Ricky Council could see more minutes.
