Joel Embiid’s health looms over the Philadelphia 76ers’ 2025-26 NBA season. With Paul George and Tyrese Maxey continuing his rise, how should we view the Sixers as contenders — and what does it mean for fantasy basketball?

Josh Lloyd, host of Locked On Fantasy Basketball, is joined by Marc Farzetta from Locked On 76ers to break down the team’s outlook. They cover Embiid’s durability, George’s role and injury history, and how the guard rotation shakes out with Quentin Grimes, Jared McCain, and Tyrese Maxey. They also examine Adem Bona and Trendon Watford as depth pieces and Kenny Atkinson’s approach to balancing stars and young talent.

Get expert insights into the 76ers’ roster, rotation battles, and fantasy basketball implications ahead of the new NBA season.
