• 76ers' Dewayne Dedmon: Left off injury report

  04/14/2023 • By RotoWire

  Dedmon (undisclosed) isn't listed on the 76ers' injury report for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against Brooklyn on Saturday. Dedmon missed Tuesday's practice due to an undisclosed reason, but it appears he's put the issue behind him and will be available for postseason play. However, with Philadelphia at full strength, the backup big man isn't guaranteed any playing time, especially if Joel Embiid can stay out of foul trouble.

• 76ers' Dewayne Dedmon: Doesn't practice Tuesday

  04/11/2023 • By RotoWire

  Head coach Doc Rivers said Dedmon (undisclosed) didn't practice Tuesday, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports. With the 76ers resting their starters, Dedmon posted 14 points and seven rebounds in 19 minutes during Sunday's regular-season finale, but it appears he suffered an injury during that contest and could be in danger of missing Game 1 of the opening-round playoff matchup against Brooklyn. However, his official injury designation for Saturday's game likely won't be known until Friday, and his availability shouldn't have a major impact on Philadelphia's rotation if everyone else is available.

• 76ers' Dewayne Dedmon: Productive in season finale

  04/09/2023 • By RotoWire

  Dedmon supplied 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Sunday's 134-105 victory over the Nets. Dedmon stepped into a larger role Sunday, turning back the clock with a vintage performance. Of course, this is nothing more than an outlier, given he was basically out of the rotation prior to this game. The 76ers will head into the playoffs full of confidence for their first-round matchup against the Nets.

• 76ers' Dewayne Dedmon: Starts Monday, for some reason

  03/28/2023 • By RotoWire

  Dedmon registered zero points (0-2 FG), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 10 minutes during Monday's 116-111 loss to the Nuggets. Dedmon moved into the starting lineup Monday, replacing Joel Embiid who was ruled out due to a calf injury. Despite having played in only five total games since arriving in Philadelphia, head coach Doc Rivers opted to go with the veteran over Paul Reed. For anyone keeping score, Reed was far more productive in his 17 minutes, ending with 17 points on 7-of-7 shooting, adding nine rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block. If Embiid does happen to miss more time, do yourself a favor and don't add Dedmon.
