Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is day-to-day after leaving Sunday's game against the Pistons with an apparent right wrist injury. The 76ers have not announced whether he will play their next game.
What happened
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is listed as day-to-day with a right wrist injury on the injury report posted Sunday, Oct. 25, at 10 p.m. ET. Chris Hine of The Philly Inquirer reports that Caldwell-Pope left Sunday's game against the Pistons due to an apparent right wrist injury. The report lists the problem as wrist, arm, right. No previous status was listed for this injury. He was last cleared from day-to-day on Oct. 16, after a rest designation on Oct. 10. No diagnosis has been announced.
What it means for the 76ers
Philadelphia is 3-0 with Caldwell-Pope in the lineup and has not played without him. In three games he is averaging 26.4 minutes, 8.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists. His status for the next game has not been announced. If he sits, the minutes have to come from a thin group. Joel Embiid and VJ Edgecombe are both listed as out. Dean Wade (28.1 minutes, 7.0 points), Anfernee Simons (20.8 minutes, 6.3 points) and Adem Bona (11.0 minutes, 0.7 points) are the rotation players who could see more time behind Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown and LeBron James.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Caldwell-Pope is upgraded, downgraded or held at day-to-day. No return date has been announced. Because the wrist injury is new and the team has given no timeline, treat each game as a game-time decision until the report says otherwise. Watch the Embiid and Edgecombe listings too, since their absences affect how much the 76ers can absorb if Caldwell-Pope misses time.
