Plays well off bench
Lowry moved to a reserve role Monday with Paul George (knee) making his 2024-25 regular-season debut. However, he was still able to make a solid impact, and that may continue to be the case while Joel Embiid (knee) and his massive usage rate are on the shelf.

Big numbers off bench
The 28-year-old big posted his best performance of the season, taking advantage of the continued absence of Joel Embiid (knee) and an ineffective night from Andre Drummond. Yabusele will likely be only the fourth or fifth man in the Sixers' frontcourt rotation once the roster is at full strength, but if he keeps delivering from beyond the arc -- he's 10-for-20 on three-point attempts over the last three games -- he could push his way into a bigger role.

Pops for team-high 32 on Monday
The fifth-year guard topped 30 points for the third time in the last four games, but even with Paul George making his 76ers debut, Maxey didn't get quite enough help to steal a win on the road. Maxey's usage should decline once George is up to speed and Joel Embiid (knee) is back in action as well, but he's taken full advantage of his spot as Philadelphia's lead dog so far, averaging what would be a career-high 30.2 points per game to begin the 2024-25 campaign.

Modest numbers in Sixers debut
Seeing his first action of the season after recovering from a bone bruise in his left knee, George's minutes were only a little lower than his usual workload, but he struggled to find his shot. The 76ers are inching closer to being at full strength, as Joel Embiid (knee) remained out Monday, and George should begin to develop some chemistry with his new frontcourt partner in the near future.

Reverts to bench Monday
Lowry has been in the starting lineup in each of the last four games, but he will revert to a reserve role Monday as Paul George (knee) makes his 2024-25 regular-season debut. Through the first five games of the campaign, Lowry is averaging 9.2 points, 2.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals over 22.2 minutes per game.
