Scott was forced to exit Monday's game against the Magic with lower back tightness and will not return.
EDGE Analysis
Scott played 23 minutes before suffering the injury. It's unclear how severe the injury is, with more information likely to come out following the game. He should be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets.

Scott had four points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 118-115 win over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Scott continues to lead the reserve unit in terms of minutes, and he contributed in every statistical category in this one. Still, he's only a useful option in deeper leagues given that coach Brett Brown typically keeps at least a couple of his starters on the court at all times and runs the offense almost exclusively through them.

EDGE Analysis
As expected, despite Scott dealing with an upper respiratory issue, he'll take the floor Friday. Over the past four games, he's averaging 6.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 26.3 minutes.

Scott (illness) is probable for Friday's game against Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
Scott, along with Ben Simmons (illness), skipped Thursday's practice session. While it's good news that the Sixers have listed him as probable for Friday night's clash, that could change Friday morning depending on how he's feeling.

Scott did not participate in Thursday's practice due to an illness, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scott has become a key member of the 76ers rotation this month, but an upper respiratory infection has his status for Friday's game in doubt. The 76ers are waiting until Friday to provide any updates on Scott, so expect the forward to be evaluated again in the morning.

Scott totaled a season-high 22 points (7-15 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and a steal over 32 minutes in the 76er's loss to the Warriors on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Although Jonah Bolden got the start at center, Scott was the first man off the bench in Saturday's loss, playing 10 more minutes than Bolden and handily outproducing him. He achieved his lofty point total with the help of six threes, shooting 67.0 percent from beyond the arc. Scott's recent increase in production has come at the expense of Joel Embiid who has been out with a knee injury, and Scott makes a quality daily option any time Embiid misses time.

Scott supplied 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes during Saturday's loss to Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Scott tied his second-best scoring output of the season, while seeing a season-high 29 minutes Saturday. While Scott received a bit more run that usual due to Joel Embiid (knee) not playing, he showcased his floor-spacing skill and could be in-line for more run moving forward, especially if he continues to shoot the ball well.

Scott will be available to make his 76ers debut Friday against the Nuggets, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scott was merely a throw-in piece in Wednesday's trade that sent him, Tobias Harris and Boban Marjanovic from the Clippers to Philadelphia. The 30-year-old was averaging 4.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointer in 14.4 minutes per game over 52 appearances with Los Angeles. He would do well to see a similar level of playing time in Philadelphia, if he's even included in coach Brett Brown's rotation at all.

Scott was traded to the 76ers on Wednesday along with Tobias Harris and Boban Marjanovic in exchange for Landry Shamet, Wilson Chandler (quadriceps), Mike Muscala, two future first-round picks and two future second-round picks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Philadelphia was desperate to find an upgrade over Chandler at power forward as Thursday's deadline approached and found their man in Harris, who had been the Clippers' top player this season and a legitimate All-Star candidate. Scott and Marjanovic are merely secondary pieces in the deal, with neither a lock to be included in coach Brett Brown's rotation on a regular basis. After shooting a blistering 52.7 percent from the field with Washington in 2017-18, Scott has dropped all the way to 40 percent across 52 appearances this season. He's at least remained effective from distance, averaging 1.0 triple per game while converting at a 39.1 percent clip.
