Drummond (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the 76ers' 119-109 loss to the Heat.

Drummond had appeared in each of the 76ers' last seven games, averaging 5.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 three-pointers in 19.6 minutes during that stretch. However, his role had been trending down in the latter two contests, which coincided with Joel Embiid's return from a long-term absence due to an oblique strain. Drummond played five minutes of garbage time in a 20-point win over Chicago on Wednesday, then played six minutes at the start of the fourth quarter in Saturday's 118-114 win over the Hornets. Head coach Nick Nurse opted to lean exclusively on Adem Bona as Embiid's backup in Monday's contest, resulting in Drummond dropping out of the rotation.

Walker (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the 76ers' 119-109 loss to the Heat.

With all of Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre, Paul George and Joel Embiid returning to action for Philadelphia within the past three games following extended absences, Walker is one of several 76ers supporting players who has fallen out of the rotation. Before failing to receive any minutes in Philadelphia's last two contests, Walker had appeared in each of the previous four games before that and averaged 3.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 10.3 minutes.

Beauchamp (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the 76ers' 119-109 loss to the Heat.

With all of Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, Kelly Oubre and Joel Embiid returning to action for Philadelphia within the past three games following extended absences, Beauchamp is one of several 76ers supporting players who has fallen out of the rotation. Before failing to receive any minutes in Philadelphia's last two contests, Beauchamp had made appearances in eight consecutive games and averaged 7.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers and 1.1 assists in 18.3 minutes.

Williams provided three points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 32 minutes off the bench during Monday's 114-110 overtime victory over Detroit.

All 13 boards came at the defensive end of the court, while the three rejections were his best performance at the rim since Feb. 11. Williams has pulled down double-digit rebounds in five of the last 14 games (two starts), averaging 9.4 points, 7.4 boards, 2.4 threes, 2.2 assists and 1.0 combined steals and blocks in 21.6 minutes over that stretch. He saw a slightly larger role Monday due to Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) and Jalen Williams (hamstring) sitting out the second half of a back-to-back set.

Holmgren registered 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 30 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 114-110 overtime win over the Pistons.

The 23-year-old center fell one board short of his 23rd double-double of the season, which would have tied his career high. Holmgren also delivered multiple blocks and steals in the same game for the first time since March 1, and through 12 games on the month, he averaged 16.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 blocks, 1.2 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 54.5 percent from the floor.

Green finished with 19 points (6-12 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 30 minutes during Monday's 114-110 overtime loss to Oklahoma City.

Making his first start since March 13, Green set a new career high in made three-pointers. The veteran forward has drained multiple treys in three straight games and five of the last 11, averaging 7.9 points, 2.5 boards, 1.7 threes, 1.3 steals and 0.9 assists in 16.3 minutes during that span.

Reed finished with 21 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 114-110 overtime loss to the Thunder.

Making his first start since Feb. 19 with Jalen Duren (knee) and Isaiah Stewart (calf) both unavailable, Reed delivered his third double-double of the season while scoring at least 20 points for the first time since Feb. 11. The 26-year-old center has chipped in double-digit points in five of the last eight games as he handles a bigger role in the frontcourt in Stewart's absence, averaging 12.1 points, 4.8 boards, 1.9 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals in just 18.5 minutes over that stretch while shooting 58.5 percent from the floor.

Vukcevic amassed 14 points (4-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals over 20 minutes during Monday's 120-101 loss to the Lakers.

Alex Sarr has been in and out of Washington's lineup, but Vukcevic has been a serviceable replacement during Sarr's recent injury issues. Vukcevic is expected to remain with the team after signing a new contract last month, but his future role is murky with Sarr and Anthony Davis (toe) in town.

Champagnie notched 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 120-101 loss to the Lakers.

With Bilal Coulibaly (heel) on the sidelines, Champagnie found his way back into the starting lineup. He managed one of his best totals of the season, mimicking many of his results when he's made appearances with the first unit. Champagnie's contract grants the team the option to extend him through next season, so they'll likely give him some opportunities as the season ends to determine whether or not they'll exercise or decline that clause.

Riley chipped in 20 points (8-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 120-101 loss to the Lakers.

Riley was unable to find his shot beyond the arc in the loss, but he was still able to deliver a serviceable line to lead the team. Bilal Coulibaly (heel) was held out of Monday's game, which earned Riley another start. Injuries throughout the roster have given Riley eight opportunities with the first unit over the past 10 games, and he's averaged a solid 15.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists over that span.
