Philadelphia 76ers News and Rumors - NBA

Andre Drummond - Iffy against Orlando Drummond (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Drummond is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday due to an illness. With Embiid back in the lineup, Guerschon Yabusele and Adem Bona could receive backup center minutes if Drummond is ruled out yet again.

Joel Embiid - Good to go against Orlando Embiid (knee) is available for Friday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Embiid will return to action Friday after sitting Philadelphia's previous contest due to left knee injury management. Embiid will likely operate on a minutes restriction, as he tallied 13 points, five assists, three rebounds and one block in 26 minutes during his only other appearance this season.

Caleb Martin - Scores season-high 18 points Martin finished Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Cavaliers with 18 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 34 minutes.

Impact Martin has now scored double-digit points in four of his last five appearances. The 29-year-old forward is also shooting 56.8 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from three while averaging 2.2 steals per contest over that span.

Reggie Jackson - Provides spark off bench Jackson contributed 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Jackson has been an inconsistent part of Philadelphia's bench this year, only appearing in five of the team's 11 contests. However, the veteran guard tallied a season-high 27 minutes with Tyrese Maxey (hamstring), Paul George (knee) and Joel Embiid (knee) all out. With Maxey (hamstring) potentially sidelined for a significant period, Jackson could continue to receive increased playing time as a point guard option off the bench.

Jeff Dowtin Jr. - Used sparingly in loss Dowtin posted zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in four minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Dowtin suited up for the fourth straight game, albeit for just four minutes. Having played at least 20 minutes in each of the two previous games, Dowtin had been serving as a consistent piece in the rotation. However, given he has played fewer than five minutes in each of the other four games in which he has suited up, it would seem as though the coaching staff are only going to call on him as a last resort.

Guerschon Yabusele - Flirts with double-double in start Yabusele supplied 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Yabusele moved into the starting lineup, filling for Joel Embiid who was given the night off as part of his injury management plan. With Andre Drummond also sidelined due to illness, it was Yabusele who served as the primary center option, playing at least 30 minutes for just the third time this season. Embiid will likely return for the next game but given the struggles of Drummond, there is a chance Yabusele moves ahead of him in the rotation at some point in the near future.

Jared McCain - Explodes for career-high 38 points McCain produced 34 points (12-26 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland.

Impact McCain continues to dominate on the offensive end, casually landing a career-high 38 points, while chipping in double-digit assists for the first time. The 76ers were without their three key pieces, affording McCain a ton of playing time. He has scored at least 23 points in three straight games and although this run will likely come to an abrupt end at some point, he is someone to monitor moving forward.

Guerschon Yabusele - Starting vs. Cleveland Yabusele is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact The 76ers will be without Joel Embiid (knee) and Andre Drummond (illness), so Yabusele will get the nod at center, making his first start of the season. The big man has been playing well of late and has scored in double digits in three of his last five outings.

Jared McCain - Earns first career start McCain is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact McCain has received at least 30 minutes in three straight games and averaged 22.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists on 45.1 percent shooting from the field. With Paul George (knee) sidelined Wednesday, the 76ers will reward McCain's recent success and give him a spot in the first unit. He'll slot in alongside Kyle Lowry in the backcourt.

Paul George - To be unrestricted Friday George (knee) is out Wednesday versus Cleveland, but coach Nick Nurse says that George will play Friday while operating without a minutes restriction, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com r...

Impact George averaged 32.5 minutes and 18.5 shots across his last two contests, so his ramp-up has clearly gone smoothly. The 34-year-old averaged 33.8 minutes per game last season, so his recent usage should be an realistic expectation moving forward.

Andre Drummond - Officially ruled out Drummond (illness) will not play Wednesday versus Cleveland, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact Drummond was trending in the wrong direction when he was added to Wednesday afternoon's injury report, and the big man will now join Joel Embiid (knee/injury management) on the sideline. Guerschon Yabusele will continue anchoring an undersized Philadelphia frontcourt.

Andre Drummond - Battling illness Drummond is questionable for Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to an illness.

Impact Drummond entered Wednesday with a clean bill of health, however his status to face one of his former teams is now in jeopardy. Drummond has had inconsistent usage en route to averaging 9.8 points and 8.2 rebounds in 22.5 minutes across his last five contests, but his presence would likely be missed against Cleveland's frontcourt.

Paul George - Won't play Wednesday George has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to left knee injury management, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact George and Joel Embiid (rest) will sit the second half of Philadelphia's back-to-back, opening up plenty of minutes for several reserves. George had his best game of the season against the Knicks on Tuesday, posting 29 points (10-19 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block in 32 minutes. George should return to action Friday in Orlando.

Joel Embiid - Won't play Wednesday Embiid (knee) won't play Wednesday against the Cavaliers, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Impact As expected, Embiid will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set. Based on previous reporting, it's likely that Embiid plays only one game of back-to-back sets for the foreseeable future. Paul George (knee) is also being held out for rest, so players such as Kelly Oubre, Andre Drummond, Jared McCain, Guerschon Yabusele and Caleb Martin will offer considerably more upside than they normally do.
