76ers' Adem Bona: Limited practice Monday
Bona (foot) practiced in a limited fashion Monday, per Ky Carlin of USA Today.
Bona is already expected to miss Friday's preseason finale against Boston, but he's still aiming to be ready for the start of the regular season. Once healthy, Bona is in line to serve as the No. 2 center behind Joel Embiid.

76ers' Anfernee Simons: Limited at practice
Simons (hamstring) was limited at Monday's practice, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Simons continues to deal with tightness in his hamstring, though he's trending in the right direction. For now, he's questionable at best for the next preseason game Oct. 16 against the Celtics.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Solid production not enough
Walker totaled 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Saturday's 144-106 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Walker finished behind VJ Edgecombe for the team high in points, doing so while picking up his second double-digit scoring performance of the preseason. The 2022 No. 57 overall pick spent his first three seasons with the Trail Blazers before suiting up for the 76ers during the 2025-26 campaign. Walker appeared in 64 regular-season games for Philadelphia, and while he managed to start six times, he averaged just 2.5 points and 3.3 rebounds over 14.0 minutes per outing in those appearances. His outlook for 2026-27 doesn't appear much different compared to previous seasons, and it may actually be worse, considering Philadelphia added LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, two players who will play north of 30 minutes per game when healthy.

76ers' Justin Edwards: Sinks trio of triples
Edwards totaled 12 points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 144-106 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Edwards was an all-around performer Saturday. He was one of five Sixers players to reach double figures in scoring, doing so while finishing second on the team in steals. The 22-year-old went undrafted in 2024 but managed to spend his first two seasons in Philadelphia. While he wasn't a day-to-day contributor, he stepped up when needed, most recently averaging 12.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 steals over 26.3 minutes per contest in 12 starts during the 2025-26 campaign. Edwards will presumably hold a similar role for the 76ers moving ahead, and though that won't result in consistent production, he could draw streaming interest from fantasy managers at times throughout the year.

76ers' Jameer Nelson: Scores 10 points off bench
Nelson tallied 10 points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's 144-106 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Nelson finally hit the double-digit scoring mark after failing to do so in the 76ers' first two preseason contests of the 2026-27 campaign. However, the 25-year-old hasn't been efficient, shooting a combined 0-for-4 from deep in three preseason appearances. Nelson has been active defensively, though he has more work to do if he hopes to earn a two-way contract heading into the regular season.

76ers' Rayan Rupert: Struggles with shot in blowout loss
Rupert finished with nine points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Saturday's 144-106 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Rupert, who agreed to a two-way deal with the Sixers in July, shot at least 40.0 percent from deep in his first two preseason appearances. However, he struggled with his shot overall in the loss to Boston. He spent the bulk of his career in Portland before ending the 2025-26 campaign with the Grizzlies. In 155 regular-season games with both clubs, the 22-year-old averaged 4.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 14.0 minutes per contest. While Rupert may spend most of his time with the Blue Coats throughout the 2026-27 season, he likely will suit up for the 76ers at some point, though he is expected to serve as a deep bench option.

76ers' Labaron Philon: Team-high seven assists Saturday
Philon logged 14 points (5-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven assists, two rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes during Saturday's 144-106 preseason loss to Boston.
Philon led the 76ers in both assists and three-pointers in Saturday's loss, and he finished tied with Jabari Walker as the team's second-leading scorer behind VJ Edgecombe (19 points). Philon was the 22nd overall pick of the 2026 NBA Draft, but the rookie's role this season is a bit muddied given the strength of Philadelphia's starting lineup and veteran role players like Anfernee Simons (undisclosed) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest).

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Inefficient in Saturday's loss
Maxey logged eight points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block over 18 minutes during Saturday's 144-106 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Maxey and VJ Edgecombe were the lone starters for the 76ers on Saturday while Jaylen Brown (rest), LeBron James (rest) and Joel Embiid (rest) were held out. Maxey didn't have the best game offensively, but he should have an easier time manoeuvring through defenses on a night-to-night basis when his star teammates are on the floor with him.

76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Nets 19 points with four steals
Edgecombe put up 19 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists and four steals over 26 minutes in Saturday's 144-106 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Edgecombe saw a big uptick in usage with Jaylen Brown (rest), LeBron James (rest) and Joel Embiid (rest) all sitting this one out, and he made the most of the increased opportunity. With new additions Brown and James, Edgecombe could at times find it difficult to assert himself in the offense, but he should do enough with the triples, dimes and defensive stats to remain fantasy-relevant.

76ers' Justin Edwards: Getting spot start Saturday
Edwards is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
Edwards is getting a spot start Saturday since the 76ers are resting projected starters Jaylen Brown and LeBron James. He had a down year in 2025-26, averaging 6.0 points per game in 64 regular-season outings (12 starts), and he's expected to be limited to a bench role in 2026-27 when all the rotation members are healthy.

76ers' Dean Wade: Promoted to starting role
Wade is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
Wade will get the start Saturday since the 76ers are resting players such as Jaylen Brown and LeBron James. Wade started in 38 of his 59 regular-season appearances with the Cavaliers in 2025-26, but he'll likely be a bench player when Philadelphia is healthy in 2026-27.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Starting vs. Boston
Walker is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
Walker is one of the players who will benefit from the Sixers resting several projected starters in this contest. The former second-round pick is expected to be a frontcourt backup in the regular season but will have the chance to show what he can do with an expanded role.

76ers' LeBron James: Won't play Saturday
James (rest) won't be available for Saturday's preseason contest against the Celtics, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
The Sixers will be resting several players for this contest, and James is one of the many projected starters who will be taking a seat alongside Joel Embiid and Jaylen Brown. The 76ers will manage James' workload carefully with an eye toward having him ready for the regular-season opener against the Knicks on Tuesday, Oct. 20.

76ers' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Out for Saturday
Caldwell-Pope (rest) won't play in Saturday's exhibition against the Celtics, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
LeBron James (rest), Joel Embiid (rest) and Jaylen Brown (rest) will join Caldwell-Pope on the inactive list for Saturday's exhibition, which may result in major minutes for Rayan Rupert and Caleb Love. Caldwell-Pope's next chance to play will come Friday in a rematch with the Celtics.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Ruled out for Saturday
Brown (rest) won't suit up for Saturday's preseason game in Boston, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Brown will skip his first meeting against his former team in Boston, but he should be able to get back out there for Friday's rematch with the Celtics. Justin Edwards and Dean Wade will help pick up the slack Saturday with Brown unavailable.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Won't play Saturday
Embiid (rest) is out for Saturday's exhibition against the Celtics, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Nick Nurse is resting most of the vets for Saturday's exhibition, so Jabari Walker could get all the run he can handle. Embiid should return for Friday's preseason rematch with Boston.

76ers' LeBron James: Solid in preseason debut
James recorded 10 points (1-1 FG, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 preseason loss to Brooklyn.
James made his first appearance in a Philadelphia uniform after joining the franchise during the offseason, taking just one field-goal attempt while focusing primarily on facilitating the offense. The 41-year-old forward played exclusively in the first half and converted all eight of his free-throw attempts. James figures to remain a significant fantasy contributor in his 24th NBA season, though his scoring opportunities could decrease alongside Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and Jaylen Brown.

76ers' Justin Edwards: Grabs five boards
Edwards finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one block in 17 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 preseason loss to Brooklyn.
Edwards struggled from beyond the arc but contributed on the glass while seeing 17 minutes off the bench. The 22-year-old forward faces increased competition for playing time following Philadelphia's offseason additions of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown. Edwards will need to make the most of his remaining preseason opportunities as he competes for a consistent reserve role.

76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Drops 11 points in loss
Edgecombe totaled 11 points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 23 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 preseason loss to the Nets.
Edgecombe expectedly took somewhat of a backseat, with Philadelphia rolling out its expected starting five. After tallying seven assists in the preseason opener, Edgecombe was limited to just one assist Thursday. As long as the team is relatively healthy, the impressive sophomore figures to be the fourth or fifth option on offense. While this doesn't bode well for his upside, he is still worth a look in the later middle rounds of drafts, given the fact that he should step into a larger role any time another member of the starting five misses time.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Another encouraging performance
Walker finished with eight points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and seven rebounds in 15 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 preseason loss to the Nets.
Walker cobbled together another serviceable performance, flirting with what would have been his second straight double-double. With the center depth in Philadelphia now paper-thin, Walker has a chance to carve out a meaningful role for himself. While he doesn't have a particularly fantasy-friendly game, he is certainly a name to monitor, just in case he earns minutes as the backup behind Joel Embiid.
