Barlow finished with seven points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 26 minutes during Friday's 115-103 victory over the Timberwolves.
Barlow grabbed double-digit rebounds for just the fourth time this season and also matched his season high in blocks. Although these numbers almost certainly helped fantasy managers, the excitement levels should remain tempered. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 4.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 18.8 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Barlow posted three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds in 15 minutes during Saturday's 118-114 victory over the Hornets.
Barlow hung onto the starting spot at power forward despite the return of Kelly Oubre on Saturday, though that could change once the latter becomes further removed from his elbow injury. Over his last 10 games, Barlow has averaged a modest 7.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.9 blocks in 23.9 minutes per contest.

76ers' Dominick Barlow: Cleared to play Monday
Rotowire
Barlow (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Barlow exited Saturday's contest early due to a left ankle sprain, and it initially looked unlikely he'd suit up Monday, though the forward has progressed well and has now been cleared to play. The 22-year-old was averaging 10.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.2 minutes over his previous five contests prior to Saturday's brief appearance. Barlow has started 53 of the 60 games he's played and hasn't come off the bench when healthy since January, so he figures to slot into the starting five as usual against the Thunder.

76ers' Dominick Barlow: Done for night with ankle sprain
Rotowire
Barlow was diagnosed with a left ankle sprain and has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Jazz, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports. He finished with one point (1-2 FT) and two rebounds in four minutes.
Barlow checked out of the game with 8:19 remaining in the first quarter to get his ankle evaluated and was quickly shut down for the rest of the night. The severity of the ankle sprain won't be known until he undergoes further testing, but Barlow would appear to be at risk of missing the 76ers' next game Monday versus the Thunder.

Rotowire
Barlow finished with 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 109-103 victory over the Trail Blazers.
With Paul George still suspended until the March 25 matchup versus the Bulls, it looks like Barlow has a clear runway to a starting role for at least Philadelphia's next four games. Barlow has averaged 8.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 26.5 minutes per tilt in his last seven games, shooting 52.1 percent from the field.

Barlow chipped in nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 win over the Heat.

76ers' Dominick Barlow: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Barlow (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Barlow was a late addition to the injury report prior to Monday night's game against Portland, and he was ultimately downgraded to out. He's in jeopardy of missing a second straight game due to illness after being added to the injury report as questionable for Wednesday's clash.

Barlow (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Portland, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Barlow was a late addition to the injury report and will ultimately sit out Monday due to an undisclosed illness.

Barlow's next chance to play will come Wednesday against New York.

76ers' Dominick Barlow: Inks standard deal with Sixers
Rotowire
Barlow agreed to a standard contract with Philadelphia prior to Thursday's game against the Lakers, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Barlow's availability for Thursday was previously in question as the team scrambled to fill out a 15-man roster, which would have allowed him to play while remaining on a two-way contract. However, the big man will be eligible to suit up against LA after putting pen to paper on a standard deal. Barlow has made three straight starts for Philly, averaging 14.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.7 steals during that brief stretch.

76ers' Dominick Barlow: Availability in flux for Thursday
Rotowire
Barlow's availability for Thursday's game against the Lakers is in question while the 76ers work to piece together a 15-man roster prior to the 10 p.m. ET tipoff, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Barlow has spent all season as one of the 76ers' three two-way players, even though he's been a staple in the Philadelphia rotation when healthy and has started in 33 of his 40 appearances. While two-way players are eligible to be active for 50 games at the NBA level, teams aren't able to keep their two-way players active for more than 90 combined games when they have fewer than 15 players signed to standard contracts. The 76ers have already exhausted their 90-game, under-15 limit, so neither Barlow nor their other two-way players (Jabari Walker and MarJon Beauchamp) will be eligible to play until the team has 15 players signed to standard deals. In the aftermath of Thursday's trade deadline and after inking Charles Bassey and Patrick Baldwin to 10-day deals, the 76ers currently have 14 players signed to standard contracts. The 76ers could still convert Barlow or one of the other two-way players to standard contracts or sign another player outside of the organization to ensure that he can suit up against the Lakers.

76ers' Dominick Barlow: Game-time call for Friday
Rotowire
Barlow is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Barlow picked up a back injury during Wednesday's game, but his X-rays returned negative. It's promising news that he's been deemed questionable for Friday, though his availability will likely depend on how he fares during shootaround and warmups.

76ers' Dominick Barlow: Won't require MRI
Rotowire
Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse said Thursday that Barlow (back) is feeling better following his early exit in Wednesday's 133-107 loss to the Cavaliers and won't require further imaging, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Barlow played just eight minutes Wednesday before leaving the game when he fell hard to the court on a drive to the basket. He was diagnosed with a back contusion, and the fact that Barlow won't be sent in for an MRI suggests that he'll have a chance at being available for Friday's rematch with the Cavaliers. If Barlow ends up that contest, however, the 76ers could have some extra playing time available for the likes of Kelly Oubre, Jabari Walker and Trendon Watford.

76ers' Dominick Barlow: X-rays negative; headed for MRI
Rotowire
Head coach Nick Nurse said Wednesday night that Barlow's (back) X-rays came back negative, but he'll get an MRI on Thursday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Barlow went down hard on a drive to the hoop during Wednesday's loss to the Cavs and did not return, and while X-rays came back negative, he's not out of the woods just yet. We'll have a better idea on the extent of Barlow's back injury after his MRI results are released, but for now, he should be considered doubtful for Friday's rematch with Cleveland. If Barlow needs to miss time, Andre Drummond, Kelly Oubre and Trendon Watford will help pick up the slack.

Rotowire
Barlow has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to a back contusion, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Barlow took a hard fall earlier in the game and required assistance to make it back to the locker room. He's been deemed unable to return with what the 76ers are calling a back contusion. Barlow's next chance to play will come Friday in a rematch with the Cavaliers. In the meantime, look for Trendon Watford and Jabari Walker to pick up the slack.

76ers' Dominick Barlow: Green light to play Friday
Rotowire
Barlow (illness) is available for Friday's game against Chicago.
Barlow has been under the weather and didn't play against the Nets on Tuesday, but he has recovered enough from his illness to be available for Friday's contest. Barlow started each of the 76ers' 11 games prior to his one-game absence Tuesday, and over that span he averaged 10.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks across 28.2 minutes per game.

76ers' Dominick Barlow: Stuffs stat sheet Sunday
Rotowire
Barlow contributed 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 45 minutes during Sunday's 142-134 double-overtime loss to the Hawks.
Barlow couldn't repeat the double-double he logged in the win over the Nets on Friday, but he did an excellent job filling out the stat sheet and recorded at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. Barlow should remain a decent fantasy alternative until further notice due to the recent injury woes affecting the 76ers' frontcourt, but if Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond (knee) are available, Barlow won't have much upside even in deeper leagues.

76ers' Dominick Barlow: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Barlow racked up 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 115-103 win over Brooklyn.
This was Barlow's first double-double of the season and the fourth of his career. He's capable of racking up the stats when given the minutes, so with Andre Drummond exiting Friday's game with a knee injury, Barlow is on the radar in deep leagues.
