Dedmon (undisclosed) isn't listed on the 76ers' injury report for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against Brooklyn on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Dedmon missed Tuesday's practice due to an undisclosed reason, but it appears he's put the issue behind him and will be available for postseason play. However, with Philadelphia at full strength, the backup big man isn't guaranteed any playing time, especially if Joel Embiid can stay out of foul trouble.

Head coach Doc Rivers said Dedmon (undisclosed) didn't practice Tuesday, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the 76ers resting their starters, Dedmon posted 14 points and seven rebounds in 19 minutes during Sunday's regular-season finale, but it appears he suffered an injury during that contest and could be in danger of missing Game 1 of the opening-round playoff matchup against Brooklyn. However, his official injury designation for Saturday's game likely won't be known until Friday, and his availability shouldn't have a major impact on Philadelphia's rotation if everyone else is available.

Dedmon supplied 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Sunday's 134-105 victory over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Dedmon stepped into a larger role Sunday, turning back the clock with a vintage performance. Of course, this is nothing more than an outlier, given he was basically out of the rotation prior to this game. The 76ers will head into the playoffs full of confidence for their first-round matchup against the Nets.

Dedmon registered zero points (0-2 FG), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 10 minutes during Monday's 116-111 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Dedmon moved into the starting lineup Monday, replacing Joel Embiid who was ruled out due to a calf injury. Despite having played in only five total games since arriving in Philadelphia, Doc Rivers, in all his wisdom, opted to go with the veteran over Paul Reed. For anyone keeping score, Reed was far more productive in his 17 minutes, ending with 17 points on 7-of-7 shooting, adding nine rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block. If Embiid does happen to miss more time, do yourself a favor and don't add Dedmon.

Dedmon is starting Monday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Dedmon enters the starting five in place of Joel Embiid, who was ruled out earlier today with a calf injury. This marks Dedmon's first start of the 2022-23 campaign after averaging only 6.6 minutes over his last five appearances.

Dedmon played the final 4:48 of Sunday's 112-93 win over the Wizards and finished with four points (2-2 FG), one rebound and one assist.
EDGE Analysis
Dedmon had been available to make his Philadelphia debut for just over a week, but it took until garbage time of a blowout before head coach Doc Rivers was ready to get a look at the veteran center. With third-year player Paul Reed having seemingly entrenched himself as Joel Embiid's top backup, opportunities for Dedmon and Montrezl Harrell are likely to be few and far between unless Embiid misses time.

Dedmon (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dedmon has yet to appear in a game for the 76ers, but that could change Saturday. He'll be competing against Paul Reed and Montrezl Harrell for the backup center role.

Dedmon (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Dedmon has missed four consecutive contests due to left hip soreness and may be sidelined for a fifth straight. When he's cleared, he'll have a chance to compete for a backup spot behind Joel Embiid, but Dedmon has yet to appear for the 76ers, leaving his potential fit in the rotation unclear until he get's back to full strength.

Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers said Saturday that Dedmon (hip) is expected to be out for "a few more games," Austin Krell of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dedmon's hip soreness isn't believed to be severe, but the veteran needs some time off. In the meantime, Paul Reed and Montrezl Harrell will remain backup center options for the 76ers.
