Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's meeting with New Orleans. He has been downgraded from a questionable status. Batum comes out of the lineup right after getting a new look in the starting unit against Memphis on Wednesday. His absence could give a starter's role back to Kelly Oubre Jr., while Kenyon Martin Jr. might also have a larger role. Oubre Jr. is enjoying a good season in Philadelphia and could be ready for a massive night offensively on ...

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (foot) is uncertain to suit up for Friday's game against the visiting Pelicans. The 35-year-old has been heavily involved of late, logging 30 minutes in four games in March. But he's dealing with foot soreness, and considering his history, fantasy managers should begin planning accordingly. If Batum is ruled out, Kenyon Martin Jr. might see more action. However, he'd be a risky option in any fantasy format.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers. The 35-year-old played 18 minutes and didn't attempt a shot in the team's 110-96 loss to the Knicks on Thursday. If Batum is sidelined, KJ Martin could see increased playing time. The Sixers may choose to exercise caution on the second night of a back-to-back and rest the veteran. Batum is averaging 5.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 25.3 minutes per game ...

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks at home.

Head coach Nick Nurse suggested the veteran is probable to make his return, barring any setbacks during pregame warmups. Batum holds averages of 5.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 25.5 minutes ...

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) won't feature against Miami on Wednesday, missing a ninth consecutive game. The French veteran is trying to recover from a hamstring strain but still needs more time to heal. However, the good news for the Sixers and him is the fact that the team will be off until Feb. 22 following Wednesday's action, which will give Batum a lot of time to get ready for the next game. With Tobias Harris (hip) also out of the lineup, Kenyon Martin Jr. moved to ...

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) will not play in Monday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. A strained left hamstring will cause an eighth straight absence for Batum, but head coach Nick Nurse said before Friday's defeat to the Atlanta Hawks that the veteran forward has a "decent chance" to return prior to the All-Star break. The Sixers host the Miami Heat on Wednesday, which is their final outing before the break. Philly's rotation remains incredibly thin, so Buddy...

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is set to miss his sixth consecutive game after the team already ruled him out for Friday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran forward has gone through multiple stints on the sidelines so far this season, and his absence is felt more than ever with four players already out and the two newcomers not ready to make their debut. After trading away five players for two in return, the 76ers are going to be very thin in this game. Kenyon...

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) continues to deal with a left hamstring strain that will keep him out of at least one more game. The team has already ruled him out on Monday for their game against the Dallas Mavericks. The 35-year-old's absence has been felt as the team's defense and ability to spread the ball around on offense have both suffered in the past few games. Batum, along with Joel Embiid (knee) and De'Anthony Melton (back), will be three of the five starters to...

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) sits on the injury report as questionable for Saturday's clash with the Nets. The veteran is bothered by hamstring tightness and could be out for a third consecutive game. From a statistical point of view, the absence of Batum isn't big news, but he's been a regular starter ever since arriving in Philadelphia and does well all the little things that don't show on the box score. Danuel House Jr. has stepped into the starting five during ...

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. The veteran forward was held out of Tuesday's contest due to a left hamstring tightness. The absence of Batum resulted in Danuel House Jr. moving into the starting five. He played nearly 30 minutes, but only scored seven points on 1-of-4 shooting on Tuesday. Fantasy managers shouldn't take the gamble with House, assuming he gets another start if Batum sits out.
