Due to a concussion and a head injury, Walker has missed six of Philadelphia's last seven games. A sprained neck will sideline him for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, leaving the 76ers light on players on the wing. Ricky Council IV and recent signing Marcus Bagley will play increased minutes, with the former in the starting lineup. Council is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues.
Walker missed four games with a concussion before returning last Friday against the Spurs, but he subsequently left that game after playing 11 minutes with a head injury. Walker sat out Sunday's game against the Hawks with a concussion and will do the same Monday. There will be more minutes for Ricky Council IV and Jalen Hood-Schifino in his absence.
Maxey, who has not appeared in a game since March 3, will miss a ninth straight contest on Wednesday. With Walker missing his fourth straight due to the league's concussion protocol, the 76ers will again rely on Quentin Grimes, Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin Jr. on the perimeter. Grimes should be rostered in standard leagues, while Butler and Dowtin are worth a look in deeper formats.
Maxey and Walker will remain out for another game, leaving the 76ers shorthanded on the perimeter. The good news for Philadelphia is that Quentin Grimes is available and will play a prominent role in the offense. Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin will also play extended minutes, with the former remaining in the starting lineup.
Lonnie Walker IV was diagnosed with a concussion on Thursday morning, a Sixers official said.
