Adem

Bona

Yabusele has missed Philadelphia’s last three games, missing time due to personal reasons and a knee issue. The latter is why he appears on the injury report for Sunday’s finale. Adem Bona will play plenty regardless of Yabusele’s availability, and Alex Reese (Achilles) has been removed from the injury report.

Yabusele will miss a third straight game, and Adem Bona should continue to soak up minutes in his absence. Bona finished with 17 points, nine boards and two blocks in his last game out.

Bona finished Wednesday’s victory one rebound shy of his third straight appearance with at least ten. However, the 17 points are the most he’s tallied in a game since dropping a season-high 28 on the Bucks on April 3. It’s unknown when Guerschon Yabusele (personal) will rejoin the team, but he started alongside Bona before needing to step away. Bona should play plenty during Philadelphia’s final two games.

The 76ers were without Guerschon Yabusele (personal) for Monday’s game, placing even more responsibility on Bona’s shoulders. The rookie responded well, recording his third double-double while blocking three shots. Bona has tallied at least three blocks in six of his last seven outings, providing excellent value in that category. Bona’s fantasy value heading into next season depends primarily on Joel Embiid and how much time he’ll need to recover from his most recent knee surgery.

Yabusele’s name has been added to Philadelphia’s long list of absentees for Monday’s game against the Heat. His absence means more playing time for Marcus Bagley and Colin Castleton, one of whom may be asked to start in Yabusele’s place. His absence also raises Adem Bona’s fantasy ceiling, and he’s the player managers in active leagues should target.

Bona, who was drafted in the second round last summer, has really taken off over the past month. In this game, he shattered his previous career-high of 16 points, which he initially set a few weeks ago. The 22-year-old has thrived in a lost season for Philadelphia, and it has come on both ends of the floor; this was his fifth-straight game with at least three blocks. It’s difficult to imagine Bona playing a significant role next season, though it will depend on Joel Embiid’s availability.

Yabusele will be back after missing the 76ers’ last two games, and he should immediately return to the starting unit. Ricky Council IV has been starting in place of Yabusele but may be pushed back to the bench with Yabusele back in the lineup.

Yabusele is dealing with a sore right knee that kept him out of Tuesday’s game against the Knicks. He has a legitimate chance to be out again given his questionable listing. If that’s the case, Adem Bona and Ricky Council IV will see additional minutes. Both are worth streaming for different reasons with Bona providing rebounds and defensive stats while Council has the higher offensive ceiling.

Guerschon Yabusele’s absence on Tuesday led to Bona moving into the starting lineup, and the rookie center filled the stat sheet in 32 minutes played. The combination of rebounding and defensive stats has made Bona a solid fantasy asset as the season winds down. Over the past two weeks, he’s averaging 7.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 3.0 blocks per game. As a result, Bona has offered third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Rostered in 28 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Bona is worth adding, even though the 76ers only play two more games during Week 22.

The 76ers are without Guerschon Yabusele, who has been ruled out with a sore knee. His absence means Bona moves into the starting lineup, and the rookie should be streamed in deep leagues. The other change is Grimes, who returns to the lineup after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Raptors. The former Knicks first-round pick replaces Jared Butler, who will come off the bench.
