76ers' Joel Embiid: Expected to miss Play-In Tournament
Shams Charania reported Monday on ESPN's NBA Today that Embiid (abdomen) isn't expected to be available for the Play-In Tournament.
This isn't an unexpected update from the Sixers after Embiid underwent a successful appendectomy on Thursday. Charania notes that Embiid is in the early stages of his recovery from surgery, which will need to be followed up with a separate physical rehab before he's cleared for game action. Philly is scheduled to face Orlando on Wednesday and would play again Friday only it fails to defeat the Magic. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will be asked to hold down the fort at center until Embiid returns.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Double-double in season finale
Drummond registered 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 victory over Milwaukee.
Drummond finished the regular season with a double-double, logging 22 minutes of court time after the team sent Adem Bona to the bench. Bona's benching seems to indicate that the youngster will be expected to lead the way under the basket against the Magic on Tuesday, as there is no timetable for Embiid's (abdomen) return from appendicitis. Even if Bona starts, Drummond's extensive postseason experience will come in handy against stalwart big men like Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter. Drummond averaged 6.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 blocked shots during his 14th pro season.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Hits for 20 points from bench
Grimes ended with 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 win over Milwaukee.
With most of the first unit taking a seat in the second half, Grimes was able to take over the backcourt and show his stuff. Grimes would likely be a starter for most teams in the league, and he displayed his playmaking in 19 starting appearances this season. We may not see much from Grimes in Tuesday's Play-In Game against Orlando, but he'll provide solid second-unit support when needed. Grimes finishes the regular season with averages of 13.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 0.9 steals over 75 games played.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Pulled early in easy win
Maxey produced 21 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 win over Milwaukee.
Maxey put together a team-leading 21 points with only 27 minutes of court time. The 76ers wisely let Maxey sit after a productive first half, as the team needs the elite point guard at his best in Tuesday's Play-In Game against Orlando. Maxey enjoyed a spectacular sixth season, averaging 28.3 points, 6.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 steals over 70 games.

76ers' Johni Broome: Not available Sunday
Broome (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bucks.
Broome remains without a timeline to return while recovering from February surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. It's unclear whether he'll be available for the start of the 76ers' postseason run, though he would unlikely play even if he was cleared to suit up.

76ers' Kelly Oubre: Productive at both ends Friday
Oubre ended Friday's 105-94 win over the Pacers with 15 points (7-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals across 32 minutes.
Oubre has started in each of the 76ers' last four games, and he's hit the 15-point threshold in the last two. The veteran has moved between the starting lineup and the bench all season long, and there's no doubt that his fantasy upside takes a bump if he's part of the first unit. He has scored at least 15 points in 26 different games this season, and all but one of those instances came in starts. Look for Oubre to have a sizable role in the rotation for the 76ers in the upcoming playoffs, possibly taking over the starting small forward role at the expense of Dominick Barlow.

76ers' Paul George: Scores 21 points vs. former team
George logged 21 points (9-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 105-94 victory over the Pacers.
George posted a decent stat line against one of his former teams, as he played the first seven seasons of his career in Indiana. The veteran forward should be the Sixers' No. 2 option on offense behind Tyrese Maxey as long as Joel Embiid remains out while recovering from appendicitis. George is ending the season on a strong note, as he's scored at least 20 points in four of his last six outings. If he suits up for Sunday's regular-season finale, he should handle a steady workload on offense once again.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Records double-double
Drummond produced 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 105-94 win over the Pacers.
Drummond didn't get the start Friday over Adem Bona with Joel Embiid (appendicitis) sidelined. However, the veteran big man found a way to leave his mark while outpacing Bona -- Drummond logged 29 minutes compared to Bona's 19. Drummond has proven he can be a productive player regardless of his role, and he should see steady minutes in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bucks since Embiid won't be available for that game, either.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Logs 32 points in Friday's win
Maxey posted 32 points (11-28 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals over 39 minutes during the 76ers' 105-94 win over the Pacers on Friday.
Maxey struggled mightily from deep, but he still paced the Sixers with a game-high 32 points, with 12 of those points coming in the third quarter. It was his 28th 30-plus-point game of the season but the first since March 7 against the Hawks. Since returning March 28 from a 10-game absence due to a finger injury, Maxey has averaged 24.0 points, 6.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 2.0 threes over 37.5 minutes per contest. Maxey briefly left Friday's game after appearing to injure his right hand, which will be worth monitoring ahead of the Sixers' regular-season finale against the Bucks on Sunday.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Returns to Friday's contest
Maxey (hand) returned to Friday's game against Indiana, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Maxey appeared to suffer a right hand injury after going for a loose ball. He briefly exited to the locker room, although it appears he avoided a serious injury. Still, with only one more game left in the regular season after Friday's contest, Maxey might find himself on the injury report heading into Sunday's meeting with Milwaukee, at least for precautionary reasons.

76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Goes to locker room
Maxey went to the locker room due to an apparent injury to his right hand during the third quarter of Friday's game against the Pacers, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.
Maxey appeared to injure his right hand following a collision while going for a loose ball, and he'll get evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Friday's game. Quentin Grimes should see more minutes off the bench for as long as Maxey is out of the game.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Undergoes successful appendectomy
Embiid underwent a successful appendectomy Thursday, and his timeline for a return to basketball activities is uncertain, per Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com.
While the door may be open for Embiid to return at some point during the playoffs if the 76ers go on a deep run, his regular season is over. The star big man had his workload managed all year long, finishing with averages of 26.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.2 blocks in 31.6 minutes per tilt in 38 games this season. Philadelphia is set to proceed with Adem Bona and Andre Drummond as its top center choices going forward.

76ers' Johni Broome: Out again Friday
Broome (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Broome underwent surgery in February to repair a meniscus tear and remains without a timetable to return. Even when healthy, he likely won't have a regular spot in the rotation.

76ers' Dalen Terry: Converted to standard deal
The 76ers are converting Terry's two-way deal to a standard contract Friday, per Tony Jones of The Athletic.
In a corresponding transaction, Philadelphia waived Cameron Payne (hamstring). Terry has averaged 4.3 points, 1.8 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 13.0 minutes per tilt over 13 games for the 76ers this season.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Cleans up glass in Thursday's loss
Drummond finished Thursday's 113-102 loss to the Rockets with five points (2-2 FG, 1-4 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes off the bench.
Adem Bona got the start with Joel Embiid (appendix) unavailable but played only 15 minutes, while Drummond handled the bigger workload from the second unit and produced his best rebounding effort since he pulled down 17 boards against the Trail Blazers on March 15. The veteran center doesn't offer much offense, but over his last 10 games, Drummond is averaging 4.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.7 threes in just 16.4 minutes.
