Marjanovic amassed 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and a block across 13 minutes during Tuesday's win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Marjanovic returned after a six game absence due to a knee injury, to tope double-digits scoring for the fifth time in his 76ers tenure. The big man remains more of a situational play, considering his massive size limits his mobility in certain matchups. However, when given minutes, Marjanovic is productive and has recorded season averages of 7.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.5 blocks in 11.5 minutes per contest.

Marjanovic (knee) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marjanovic missed the 76ers' last six games and did not have a target return date, but the team apparently decided to keep his progress under wraps, and he is now on the verge of returning to action. Marjanovic put up some big numbers prior to his absence, but with fellow big man Joel Embiid back in action, don't expect him to be as productive this time around.

Marjanovic (knee) did not practice Monday and remains without a firm timetable, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Sixers haven't said much about Marjanovic's knee, but coach Brett Brown commented Monday that the big man won't be back in the near future. "We should all bunker in that it is going to be longer than we wish," Brown told reporters. What that means, exactly, is unclear, but the implication is that Marjanovic's absence will likely be a matter of weeks, rather than days. Luckily, Joel Embiid (knee) returned to practice Monday and is on course to return to game action this week.

Marjanovic underwent an MRI and a CT scan, and it was revealed that the big man has a bone bruise and mild sprain of his right knee. He will be re-evaluated in 5-7 days.
EDGE Analysis
Marjanovic suffered the injury with 1:13 left in the 4th quarter of Monday's contest in New Orleans. With Joel Embiid (knee) dealing with an injury of his own and without a clear timetable for a return, the Sixers are incredibly thin at the center position. As a result, Amir Johnson and Jonah Bolden figure to play the vast majority of the minutes at the five until one of Embiid or Marjanovic return.

Marjanovic (knee) will not play in Thursday's game against the Thunder, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Joel Embiid (knee) also ruled out for Thursday's game, the 76ers will be even lighter on frontcourt depth than usual, and this will likely result in both Jonah Bolden and Amir Johnson seeing extended minutes at center. Fortunately, Marjanovic's injury is not believed to be serious after MRI results came back negative, so the big man's absence should not extend out too much longer.

An MRI on Marjanovic's right knee came back negative, Philly.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Sixers got a scare Monday night when Marjanovic limped off the court against the Pelicans with an apparent right knee injury, but a subsequent MRI revealed no structural damage. The 7-foot-3 Marjanovic, who's filled in in the absence of Joel Embiid, should still be considered very much questionable for Thursday's game against OKC, but he's not expected to miss extended time.

Marjanovic suffered a right knee injury during Monday's game against the Pelicans, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marjanovic came down hard on his right knee and immediately left the game, although the details surrounding the injury remain unknown. He finished the contest with 12 points (6-8 FG), 10 rebounds, an assist, a steal and two blocks in 20 minutes off the bench. More information on the severity of Marjanovic's injury is expected to be revealed sometime Tuesday after further testing.

Marjanovic will come off the bench for Monday's game against New Orleans, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marjanovic was held to just four points and five rebounds in his last start, so Jonah Bolden will get a chance to make a spot start. Joel Embiid (knee) appears to be nearing a return, so both Marjanovic and Bolden should return to bench roles in the near future.

Marjanovic totaled 19 points (6-7 FG, 7-10 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and a block in 27 minutes Thursday against the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Marjanovic drew his first start as a 76er with Joel Embiid (knee) out of the mix, and he impressed in a 106-102 victory. Marjanovic secured his first double-double since Feb. 2 and was efficient with his shot throughout the evening (85.7 percent from the field). Embiid will remain out of the lineup for at least a week, so expect Marjanovic to continue to start for the time being.

Marjanovic will start Thursday's game against the Heat, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Joel Embiid out, Marjanovic will make his first start in a Sixers uniform, and he should be in for at least a slight boost in minutes. The tallest player in the NBA played between 10 and 15 minutes in his first four games with the Sixers.
