Batum (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Batum was unavailable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota due to a right hamstring injury. Coach Nick Nurse said he expects Batum to miss a couple of days, so it isn't very surprising to see him sitting out Thursday's practice session. While Batum's injury is considered relatively minor, his status for Friday's game against Toronto certainly seems to be in jeopardy.

Batum will not play in Wednesday's game against Minnesota due to a right hamstring issue, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Nick Nurse said he expects Batum to miss a couple days, but he added that it's a minor setback. Batum should be considered questionable to return for Friday's game against the Raptors. Robert Covington and Marcus Morris are candidates to see increased run Wednesday, but they are both questionable due to illness.

Batum (finger) will start Wednesday against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Batum missed Friday's loss to Boston due to a finger injury but was a full participant during Monday's practice and will return to the starting lineup Wednesday. Across his last six starts, Batum has averaged 7.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.9 blocks in 26.1 minutes per game.

Batum (finger) practiced in full Monday, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Batum sat out Friday's game against the Celtics, but he'll be good to go for Wednesday's outing against the Wizards. The 76ers will be at full strength Wednesday, so Batum's usage rate may drop.

Batum (finger) will not play in Friday's game against the Celtics, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a surprise, as Batum was previously listed as probable. Marcus Morris will replace Batum in the lineup, and he could see plenty of shots Friday due to both Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid being sidelined due to illness.

Batum (finger) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Celtics, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite exiting early in Wednesday's 124-114 loss to the Pelicans with a hyperextended right index finger injury, Batum was able to put in a full practice Thursday and doesn't look like he'll miss any additional time. The veteran forward has started in his last seven appearances for Philadelphia, though he could be a candidate to shift back to the bench as soon as next week, when Kelly Oubre (rib) may be ready to return to action.

Batum (finger) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Batum left Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans early due to an injury to his right index finger. However, his full participation in practice is a good sign toward his availability for Friday's matchup with Boston.

Batum has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans due to an injury to his right index finger, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Batum recorded three points and one rebound in 14 minutes before exiting Wednesday's contest. Robert Covington and Kenyon Martin are candidates to receive extended minutes in his absence. Batum's status for Friday's matchup with Boston is uncertain.

Batum finished Saturday's 127-123 victory over the Thunder with 14 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 32 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Batum holds a secondary role on offense for the 76ers, but he's making the most of his opportunities since being moved to a starting role. The veteran sharpshooter can help fantasy teams as a waiver pickup who could be particularly useful in category-based leagues. Batum has started in each of his last five appearances, and even though he's averaging just 7.4 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in that span, he's shooting 50 percent from deep.

Batum (personal) will start Sunday's contest against the Nets, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Batum will return to the starting lineup after missing three straight games due to personal reasons, which will send Robert Covington to a bench role. In his lone start for Philadelphia, Batum posted nine points (3-5 FG), seven rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 33 minutes.
