Walker IV

The 76ers are without Quentin Grimes and Guerschon Yabusele, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Walker and Council will fill the resulting voids, and both players are worth streaming in deep leagues. Also, Butler should play plenty since Jeff Dowtin Jr. is inactive.

Walker has been out with concussion issues, missing seven of the last eight games. The 26-year-old shooting guard practiced in full on Friday and is ready to return against the Heat Saturday. His return could cut into the playing time for Ricky Council IV.

Walker missed four games with a concussion, then he exited early after playing 11 minutes in his return and has missed Philadelphia’s last three games. It appears that he is on track to play against Miami on Saturday, which would likely take away minutes from Ricky Council IV. It is also worth noting that Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andre Drummond were all partial participants in practice, but there still isn’t a timeline for their return. At this point, is anyone expecting them to play again this season? Philly is in a tight race at the top of the lottery, and they’re trying to stay in the top six to avoid their pick going to the Thunder. Playing anyone that is going to help them win games would be counterproductive.

Due to a concussion and a head injury, Walker has missed six of Philadelphia’s last seven games. A sprained neck will sideline him for Wednesday’s game against the Wizards, leaving the 76ers light on players on the wing. Ricky Council IV and recent signing Marcus Bagley will play increased minutes, with the former in the starting lineup. Council is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues.

Walker missed four games with a concussion before returning last Friday against the Spurs, but he subsequently left that game after playing 11 minutes with a head injury. Walker sat out Sunday’s game against the Hawks with a concussion and will do the same Monday. There will be more minutes for Ricky Council IV and Jalen Hood-Schifino in his absence.

Bona will miss a fifth straight game with a sprained left ankle. With Andre Drummond and Joel Embiid also out, the 76ers will lean on Guerschon Yabusele in the middle. As for Walker, he played 11 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Spurs after missing four games in the league’s concussion protocol. His absence means more playing time for Ricky Council IV and Jalen Hood-Schifino, with the former offering a higher streaming ceiling.

Walker returned from a four-game absence due to a concussion only to leave Friday’s game as a precaution with a mild headache. Ricky Council IV and Jalen Hood-Schifino can fill in the vacated minutes for the 76ers.

Following a four-game absence, Walker will be back in the lineup. He should immediately play plenty of minutes for the shorthanded 76ers, and that should take away time from Ricky Council IV and Jalen Hood-Schifino.

Walker is expected to be back after missing Philadelphia’s last four games. Ricky Council IV and Jalen Hood-Schifino should both lose out on some minutes to make room for Walker in the rotation.

Maxey, who has not appeared in a game since March 3, will miss a ninth-straight contest on Wednesday. With Walker missing his fourth-straight due to the league’s concussion protocol, the 76ers will again rely on Quentin Grimes, Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin Jr. on the perimeter. Grimes should be rostered in standard leagues, while Butler and Dowtin are worth a look in deeper formats.
