Edwards leads Minnesota against Philadelphia after 44-point performance
Minnesota takes on the Philadelphia 76ers after Anthony Edwards scored 44 points in the Minnesota Timberwolves' 116-98 victory over the Phoenix Suns2 HOURS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lonnie Walker IV - Logs season highs in defeat Walker totaled 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 119-102 loss to Portland.
Impact Walker led Philadelphia's second unit in scoring during an efficient outing Monday. The 26-year-old also tied the team-high mark in steals, recording season-high marks in points, steals and playing time through five regular-season appearances. Walker could receive an uptick in minutes during Tuesday's matchup against the Timberwolves as well, with Tyrese Maxey (back), Kelly Oubre (illness), Paul George (groin), Kyle Lowry (hip) and Justin Edwards (ankle) all uncertain to suit up.

Quentin Grimes - Shooting woes from outside in loss Grimes racked up 14 points (6-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists and six rebounds in 38 minutes during Monday's 119-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact The 24-year-old finished as the club's third-leading scorer behind Andre Drummond (25 points) and Justin Edwards (16 points), who left the game in the fourth quarter due to an ankle injury. However, Grimes struggled from three-point range while coming off a career-best performance in Saturday's win over Golden State, during which he posted 44 points and sank six of his nine attempts from beyond the arc. On a more positive note, the fourth-year pro did record a team- and season-high mark in assists Monday, finishing one assist shy of his first double-double through 57 regular-season appearances. Grimes could receive increased ball-handling duties during Tuesday's game against Minnesota if Tyrese Maxey (back) is unable to suit up.

Andre Drummond - Monster double-double in defeat Drummond had 25 points (11-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 18 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 119-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Drummond delivered a dominant performance Monday, leading the Sixers in points and rebounds, albeit in a losing effort. The veteran center recorded a season-high 18 rebounds en route to his second consecutive doubled-double, marking his fifth outing with double-digit points and boards through 36 regular-season appearances. The 31-year-old has started in each of the Sixers' last three outings due to Joel Embiid (knee) being sidelined for the remainder of the season, and Drummond will likely continue to receive increased playing time for Philadelphia moving forward.

He finished the game with 16 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 37 minutes before heading to the locker room. The 21-year-old previously missed three consecutive outings due to the left ankle sprain, though Nurse relayed that he'll travel with the team ahead of Tuesday's game against Minnesota, per Aaronson.

Tyrese Maxey - Seemingly avoids serious injury Maxey (back) is believed to have avoided a significant injury after exiting Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Impact Head coach Nick Nurse stated after the game that Maxey was examined by two doctors and that the point guard appears to have avoided a serious injury. "At this point, nothing too serious," said Nurse. "That could change in the morning." Nurse also mentioned that Maxey would travel with the team to Minnesota, giving him a chance to suit up for the second half of the team's back-to-back.

The 21-year-old out of Kentucky won't return in the final minute of the contest, and his status for Tuesday's game against Minnesota is now up in the air.

Tyrese Maxey - Won't return Monday Maxey has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a back injury, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Maxey injured his back while attempting a layup in the third quarter. He looked to be in considerable pain walking to the locker room, and the injury is severe enough for him to not return to Monday's contest. Maxey will end his night with five points (2-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt), six assists and one steal over 23 minutes. Jeff Dowtin and Lonnie Walker should see an increased workload for the rest of the game due to Maxey's absence.

Tyrese Maxey - Exits to locker room vs. Portland Maxey sustained an apparent back injury in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers and exited to the locker room, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Impact Maxey was seemingly in a considerable amount of pain following the fall, staying on the ground and grabbing at his back before walking to the locker room. If the superstar point guard is unable to return, Jeff Dowtin and Lonnie Walker will likely see an uptick in playing time the rest of the way.

Guerschon Yabusele - Promoted to starting lineup Yabusele is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Portland, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact With both Kelly Oubre (illness) and Paul George (groin) out against the Trail Blazers, the 76ers have moved Yabusele into the starting lineup along with Justin Edwards. Across his last six games as a starter, Yabusele has averaged 13.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 28.5 minutes.

Justin Edwards - Starting Monday vs. Portland Edwards is in the 76ers' starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Monday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Edwards has played in the 76ers' last two games after missing the prior three contests due to a left ankle sprain. He'll make his 10th start of the season Monday due to the absences of Paul George (groin) and Kelly Oubre (illness). Across his nine starts earlier in the season, Edwards averaged 9.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.9 steals over 28.7 minutes per game.

Paul George - Ruled out against Portland George is out for Monday's game against Portland due to left groin soreness.
Impact George will take a seat Monday, clearing up plenty of usage in Philadelphia's lineup. The star forward can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game in Minnesota. The 76ers' offense should run through Tyrese Maxey against the Trail Blazers, and Justin Edwards will join the starting lineup in George's stead, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Won't go Monday Oubre (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.
Impact Oubre will miss his first contest since Jan. 4 due to the illness. The 29-year-old swingman's next chance to suit up will come in the second half of the club's back-to-back set against the Timberwolves on Tuesday. Justin Edwards, Ricky Council and Lonnie Walker are candidates for an uptick in playing time due to Oubre being sidelined

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Iffy for Monday Oubre is questionable for Monday's game against Portland due to an illness.
Impact Oubre was a late addition to the injury report after presumably waking up under the weather. Monday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the 76ers could exercise caution here. If he's unable to play, guys like Justin Edwards, Lonnie Walker and Jared Butler could step into larger roles for the 76ers.
