Alex

Reese

After sitting out Friday’s loss to the Hawks, Reese is not on the injury report. If available, he should play rotation minutes in Sunday’s season finale. However, fantasy managers should not expect too much from the two-way contract forward.

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.

Reese’s Achilles tendon injury, which he suffered during Wednesday’s win over the Wizards, will keep him out of Friday’s game. His absence does not significantly impact active fantasy leagues, but it should mean more playing time for Marcus Bagley and Colin Castleton.

Reese was forced to exit Wednesday’s win over the Wizards with what was announced as a strained right Achilles tendon. However, the 76ers have listed him as questionable for Friday due to right Achilles tendonitis. Reese is unlikely to impact active fantasy leagues if available, but playing would give him another opportunity to impress 76ers decision-makers ahead of the offseason.

Reese was unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact active fantasy leagues. Then, he suffered a strained right Achilles tendon, with the 76ers announcing he would not return during the fourth quarter. With only two games remaining in the 76ers’ season, the 11 minutes he played in D.C. may be the last Reese gets until Summer Leagues.

Reese was initially listed as questionable with a shoulder injury, but will ultimately be available Friday. With Paul George and Justin Edwards already ruled out, the 25-year-old forward could pick up extra minutes as well as possibly move into the starting lineup.

After cracking the rotation and playing at least 15 minutes in three consecutive games, Reese has caught the injury bug that seems to be going around Philadelphia’s locker room. Ricky Council IV would likely take on extra minuets if Reese is sidelined despite the return of Guerschon Yabusele.

Walker fell and hit the back of his head on the court during the first half of Wednesday’s game. While he could walk back to the locker room under his own power, the 76ers wing did so slowly. Unsurprisingly, Walker’s night is over after less than a minute on the court. Ricky Council IV and Alex Reese will play more with Walker sidelined.

Reese is the second player the 76ers have signed to a two-way deal this week, with David Roddy being the first. Undrafted out of Alabama, the 6-foot-9 forward averaged 19.3 points per game for the Rip City Remix this season. And Reese is a capable shooter, making 42.1 percent from beyond the arc. His fantasy value for the rest of the season will depend on Philadelphia’s approach; younger players will have more opportunities to contribute if the front office decides to pull the plug and focus on 2025-26.

Reese was signed to a non-guaranteed deal a few days before the start of the regular season, and he played a total of two minutes in a blowout win. Leons will likely play a similar role, which means this won’t have any fantasy impact.
