Jared McCain - Cleared from injury report McCain (knee) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Toronto, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Impact Saturday is set to be the second appearance of the season for McCain, who sat out the second leg of a back-to-back Wednesday against the Cavaliers. The 76ers have another short turnaround Sunday against the Pistons, so fantasy managers should expect the sharpshooter to sit out the second half of this back-to-back.

Joel Embiid - Available to play Saturday Embiid (rest) will be available to play Saturday against the Raptors, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com

Impact Embiid missed the second leg of a back-to-back set Wednesday for load management, but he'll be back in action Saturday night, which should shift Adem Bona back to the second unit. After Saturday's game, the 76ers play again Sunday, so Embiid will likely be missing that one.

Dominick Barlow - Ruled out through weekend Barlow (elbow) won't be available for Saturday's game against the Raptors and Sunday's contest against the Pistons, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Barlow has a follow-up meeting with a surgeon slated for early next week, so his absence could extend into Tuesday's matchup against the Celtics. Until Barlow is back in action, Adem Bona should be tasked with more playing time.

Paul George - To miss at least two more games George (knee) won't be available for Saturday's game against the Raptors and Sunday's contest against the Pistons, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact George is scheduled to meet with doctors over the weekend to determine the next steps in his recovery from left knee surgery. It appeared that the star forward was inching closer to his season debut, given that he's been practicing since the end of training camp, but his absence will extend until at least early next week. In the interim, Kelly Oubre should remain a high-end streaming option in fantasy.

Justin Edwards - Scores eight in loss Edwards ended Wednesday's 132-121 loss to the Cavaliers with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes.

Impact Edwards hasn't been much of a factor in Philadelphia's rotation despite receiving a spot start Oct. 28 against the Wizards, but will continue to back up Kelly Oubre and likely see the court in the 12-17 minutes range. He is averaging 4.8 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.2 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1.2 threes made.

VJ Edgecombe - Underwhelms in loss Edgecombe racked up seven points (3-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 132-121 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Edgecombe posted season-lows in points and field goals made Wednesday, and was unable to make a three-pointer. Despite the lackluster performance, Edgecombe is still having a phenomenal rookie season, averaging 17.6 points, 5.6 rebonds, 4.8 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.3 threes made, so look for him to bounce back Saturday against the Raptors.

Andre Drummond - Double-double off bench Drummond finished Wednesday's 132-121 loss to the Cavaliers with 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes.

Impact It was Adem Bona who drew the start at center due to Joel Embiid (rest) sitting out of Wednesday's game. However, Bona played just 18 minutes to Drummond's 28, a season-high for the the latter as he led both teams in rebounding en route to his first double-double of the season. Drummond is averaging 5.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals over 16.7 minutes per game this season.

Quentin Grimes - Season-high 27 points off bench Grimes logged 27 points (9-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 32 minutes during the 76ers' 132-121 loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

Impact Grimes scored 14 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter and finished tied on the 76ers in the points column with Tyrese Maxey. Grimes has scored 20-plus points in four of eight regular-season games and has opened the 2025-26 campaign averaging 18.3 points, 4.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 31.6 minutes per game while connecting on 38.5 percent of his three-point attempts on 6.5 3PA/G.

Tyrese Maxey - Near double-double vs. Cleveland Maxey registered 27 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), nine assists, seven rebounds and one steal over 36 minutes during the 76ers' 132-121 loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

Impact One night after scoring 39 points in a loss to the Bulls, Maxey once again led the 76ers in the point column while finishing one assist shy of his third double-double of the season. The All-Star guard has connected on at least 50.0 percent of his field-goal attempts in three of his last four games and is averaging 33.5 points, 8.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks per game this season. However, his playing time over the course of the season will be worth monitoring, as he's opened the 2025-26 campaign averaging 41.3 minutes per game.
