Grimes produced 46 points (15-27 FG, 8-14 3Pt, 8-13 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 43 minutes during Monday's 144-137 overtime loss to the Rockets.
Grimes led all scorers in Monday's high-scoring affair en route to establishing a new career high with his 46 points. The 24-year-old swingman is handling extreme usage for the depleted 76ers at the moment, and he should continue to do so until Tyrese Maxey (back) re-enters the mix. Over his last five outings, Grimes has averaged 32.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.4 steals, 1.0 blocks and 4.2 three-pointers in 34.6 minutes while shooting 42.9 percent from deep.

Rotowire
Grimes posted 28 points (10-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-9 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 130-125 win over the Mavericks.
Grimes returned Sunday after missing the previous game due to an illness and put on a show to help Philadelphia to a high-scoring victory. Grimes led all 76ers in scoring while recording a team-high-tying pair of steals and concluding second on the team in assists in a balanced outing. Grimes posted his ninth game of the year with 25 or more points, and he's now reached that mark in five of his last six contests, including four straight.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Ruled out Friday
Rotowire
Grimes (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Indiana, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Grimes will miss his first outing with the 76ers due to an injury or illness since being traded to Philadelphia on Feb. 4. With the 24-year-old combo guard joining a litany of Sixers on the sideline, Jeff Dowtin, Ricky Council and Jalen Hood-Schifino are candidates for a bump in minutes. Grimes' next opportunity to feature will come Sunday against Dallas.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Grimes (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Indiana, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
The 76ers, who are already extremely shorthanded, can't seem to catch a break -- Kelly Oubre (knee) is also questionable. Grimes was terrific during Wednesday's 118-105 loss to Toronto, recording 29 points (11-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks over 31 minutes.
Grimes registered 29 points (11-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 118-105 loss to Toronto.
Grimes led both teams in scoring Wednesday despite his inefficiency from three-point range. The 2021 first-round pick showed off his defensive chops with three steals, which is the third time he's reached that mark in his last five outings. Grimes has started since Feb. 12 due to the multitude of injuries on the 76ers, and over that span he has averaged 21.1 points on 51.4 percent shooting (including 39.8 percent from three on 6.9 3PA/G), 5.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks over 32.9 minutes per game.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Pours in 35 points
Rotowire
Grimes finished with 35 points (14-25 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 132-123 loss to the Hawks.
Grimes sparked an otherwise lifeless Philly squad Monday night by catching fire from deep, where he added 15 of his 35 points. He's been on an impressive run of late, totaling 25 or more points in four of his last six appearances. Grimes has also been an asset on defense, tallying nine steals in his last four games.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Leads charge in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Grimes racked up 25 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 9-9 FT), one rebound, six assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 victory over the Jazz.
The fourth-year guard tied Lonnie Walker for the team lead in scoring. With Kyle Lowry (hip) and Eric Gordon (wrist) both sidelined, Grimes has started 10 straight games, and his usage has only increased in March with Tyrese Maxey (back) and Paul George (groin) also banged up. Despite a few inconsistent performances, Grimes has averaged 18.9 points, 5.1 boards, 3.6 assists, 2.6 threes and 1.4 steals during his starting stint while shooting 51.1 percent from the floor and 40.6 percent from beyond the arc.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Poor shooting display
Rotowire
Grimes supplied six points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 123-105 loss to the Celtics.
Grimes opened the month of March with a 44-point performance against the Warriors on March 1 and also posted a 30-point effort versus the Timberwolves on Tuesday, but he couldn't come near those numbers in this one. Grimes had an awful shooting performance, but at least he salvaged some value due to his contributions in other categories, such as rebounds and assists. Grimes will aim to bounce back when the 76ers take on the Jazz on Sunday.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Strikes for game-high 30 on Tuesday
Rotowire
Grimes posted a game-high 30 points (12-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 126-112 loss to Minnesota.
With Tyrese Maxey (back) out and Paul George (groin) forced from Tuesday's game after three quarters, Grimes once again had to shoulder the scoring load for the Sixers. The fourth-year guard has produced at least 30 points in three of eight contests since moving into the starting lineup, averaging 19.8 points, 5.3 boards, 3.1 assists, 2.6 threes and 1.4 steals over that stretch while shooting 55.0 percent from the floor and 42.0 percent from long distance. Neither Maxey nor George may be out for long, but Grimes could remain a big part of the Philly offense even after they are back on the court.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Starting against Minnesota
Rotowire
Grimes (bicep) is available and in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Grimes has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with left bicep soreness. Grimes has averaged 18.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.3 minutes across his previous seven starting appearances.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Tending to sore bicep
Rotowire
Grimes is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to left bicep soreness.
After erupting for a career-high 44 points in Saturday's win over the Warriors, Grimes once again saw big minutes (38) in Monday's 119-102 loss to the Trail Blazers, but his production took a step back. He finished Monday's game with 14 points (6-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists and six rebounds, and he apparently also hurt his arm at some point along the way. If Grimes is able to shake off the injury and play Tuesday, he could be in line for plenty of usage with six other players already ruled out and two other 76ers [Paul George (groin) and Justin Edwards (ankle)] joining him as questionable.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Shooting woes from outside in loss
Rotowire
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.
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 responsibilities on the offensive end during Tuesday's game against Minnesota if Tyrese Maxey (back) is unable to suit up, especially with Kyle Lowry's (hip) status also up in the air.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Leads charge with career-high 44
Rotowire
Grimes finished with a career-high 44 points (18-24 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-8 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 victory over the Warriors.
The Sixers ended a nine-game losing streak thanks mainly to Grimes, who blew past his previous personal best of 36 points, set in April 2023 while he was still a Knick. The fourth-year guard could see his usage increase with Joel Embiid (knee) ruled out for the rest of the season -- Grimes has started six straight games and reached 30 points twice in that span, although he scored a total of only 40 points in the other four contests combined.
Grimes (knee) is active and starting Wednesday against New York.
Grimes left in the third quarter of Monday's 32-point loss to the Bulls due to right knee soreness and did not return. However, he's been given the green light to suit up and make his fifth straight appearance in the starting lineup. During that stretch, he's averaged 16.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steals across 32.6 minutes.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Likely to suit up Wednesday
Rotowire
Grimes (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Grimes exited Monday's loss to the Bulls in the third quarter due to right knee soreness and did not return. However, he is likely to return to game action during Wednesday's matchup. Over seven outings (four starts) with the Sixers, the 24-year-old swingman has averaged 14.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals in 32.1 minutes per contest.

76ers' Quentin Grimes: Won't come back Monday
Rotowire
Grimes will not return to Monday's game against the Bulls due to right knee soreness, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.
Grimes posted nine points (3-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 24 minutes before exiting with 7:16 remaining in the third quarter. Lonnie Walker and Jared Butler are candidates for a bump in minutes the rest of the way.
76ers' Quentin Grimes: Substantial playing time continues
Rotowire
Grimes ended Thursday's 124-104 loss to the Celtics with 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes.
Grimes continues to play significant minutes for a 76ers team that's struggled to stay healthy in 2024-25, and his seven rebounds paced the starting lineup Thursday. Over five games since heading to Philadelphia, Grimes has averaged 15.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 32.8 minutes. The 24-year-old sharpshooter should be able to maintain a steady role in the first unit as long as both Justin Edwards (ankle) and Eric Gordon (wrist) stay on the shelf.
