Wroten (knee) is questionable for the Sixers game against the Nets on Friday, Keith Pompey of the Philly Inquirer reports.
Wroten has been suffering from a right knee sprain, which has forced him to miss the past six games. If he does return tonight, expect Wroten to have his playing time limited, so fantasy owners will likely want to play the replacement that has filled Wroten's spot for one more game.
Wed Dec 10 201418:08Wroten (knee) ruled out for Wednesday's game against Hawks
Wroten (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey reports.

Wroten (knee) has been changed from out to a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Philadelphia Daily News reports.
Wroten was initially targeting Friday for a return date but apparently could now be an option for Wednesday instead. Even when he returns, he should only expect a little over 20 minutes a game with Michael Carter-Williams healthy.
Tue Dec 9 201419:52Tony Wroten: (Knee) Out Wednesday, Targeting Friday Return
Wroten (knee) will not play Wednesday and is targeting a return for Friday's game, Calkins Media reports.
Wroten will likely move back to a bench role when he returns given the progress the Sixers have made since his absence. While he is great for head-to-head leagues when he has the minutes, Wroten wil likely only earn about 22-23 minutes per game off the bench as long as Michael Carter-Williams is healthy. He's not a good enough shooter to play next to MCW, and the Sixers have other options to use in that spot.

Wroten (knee) has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with the Hawks, Tom Moore of Calkins Media reports.

Wroten (knee) is expected to return for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Tom Moore of Calkins Media reports.
Wroten has missed the last five games since spraining his knee against the Nets on Nov. 26. However, he returned to practice Monday and is on track to return Wednesday, barring a setback. Upon his return, Wroten should slot back into the starting backcourt alongside Michael Carter-Williams, where he's averaging 17.9 points and 6.3 assists in nearly 33 minutes per game. However, Wroten is shooting just 41.4 percent from the floor and a paltry 26.6 percent from three.
Sat Dec 6 201419:50Wroten has chance to return Wednesday against Hawks

Wroten (knee) will not be available against the Thunder on Friday, Max Rappaport of Sixers.com reports.

Sun Nov 30 201408:42Tony Wroten: (Knee) Avoids Serious Injury
Wroten (knee) has likely avoided a major injury, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey Reports.
Wroten has been the Sixer's most productive fantasy option this season, averaging 17.9 points with 6.3 assists this season. Hollis Thompson was inserted back into the starting lineup, but K.J. McDaniels made the most of his increased playing time, playing 32 minutes off the bench and scoring 21 points (8-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT) in Saturday's loss to the Mavericks. McDaniels is the best best for short-term fantasy production until Wroten returns.

Wroten scored 18 points (6-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), with 10 assists, two rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Nets.
Wroten continues his impressive start to the 2014 season, and fantasy owners who gave him a shot early are getting rewarded in a big way.

Wroten scored 20 points (7-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT) to go along with two rebounds, nine assists, three steals and one block in 38 minutes Monday against Portland.
Wroten had 18 total points in his last two games, so he got back to his scoring ways Monday. He carried the load offensively with Michael Carter-Williams out, so it might take some time for the two to get comfortable playing together again. Wroten is one of Philadelphia's best offensive players, so expect him to provide solid fantasy value.
Fri Nov 21 201417:44Wroten will reportedly take over as starting shooting guard for ...
Wroten will reportedly take over as the starting shooting guard for Friday's game against the Suns, the Philly Inquirer reports.
Wroten will take over for Hollis Thompson, who will move to a bench role. Wroten has started 10 out of the 11 games he's played in this season, but the previous starts were at point guard for Michael Carter-Williams as he sat out with a shoulder injury. Wroten played surprisingly well filling in for Carter-Williams, averaging 19.3 points and 6.1 assists. Thompson will take a seat for the first time this year as he's struggled and has averaged only 7.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists on the year.
Wed Nov 19 201422:18Wroten came off bench for first time this season on Wednesday, b...
Wroten came off the bench for the first time this season on Wednesday, but scored 21 points (7-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-9 FT) and dealt seven assists. He played 28 minutes in the loss to the Celtics.
Wroten was replaced in the starting lineup by Michael Carter-Williams, but he still played approximately the same number of minutes. He has only hit 37.5 percent of his field goals in his last five games, but he should continue to get points and assists off the Philly bench.
Sat Nov 15 201410:22Wroten managed to score 19 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-6 FT) to ...
Wroten managed to score 19 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-6 FT) to go along with four rebounds, eight assists, and one steal during 35 minutes Friday.
Wroten had a solid performance Friday despite the second installation of Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) into the lineup. Keeping in mind that Carter-Williams came off the bench for just 27 minutes, Wroten seems like he can in fact coexist with another viable guard beside him on the court. The duo will be worth monitoring as the season continues, but as for now, Wroten should still be on rosters until further notice.
Fri Nov 7 201421:52Wroten scored career-high 31 points (11-27 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-8 FT)...
Wroten scored a career-high 31 points (11-27 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-8 FT) Friday against the Bulls.
As long as Michael Carter-Williams is out, Wroten is a must-start in all formats now. He's the main scorer for the 76ers, and has scored at least 20 points in all but one of his games this season. In addition to his 31 points Friday, Wroten had five rebounds, seven assists and a steal. Even when Carter-Williams returns, Wroten could still see significant time at shooting guard.
Wed Nov 5 201421:55Wroten scored 27 points (9-16 FG, 4-6 3P, 5-7 FT) with eight ass...
Wroten scored 27 points (9-16 FG, 4-6 3P, 5-7 FT) with eight assists, five steals, three rebounds and two blocks in 35 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Magic.
Owners in nine-category leagues weren't thrilled with his nine turnovers, but otherwise it was another excellent line for Wroten. Given his hot start to the season, the Sixers are now thinking of using him at shooting guard when Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) rejoins the lineup, so Wroten's value may not take the expected hit when MCW hits the court.
Sat Nov 1 201423:23Wroten had team-high 21 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-11 FT) with ...
Wroten had a team-high 21 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-11 FT) with 10 assists in 33 minutes in the loss to Miami on Saturday.
Wroten has been the main cog of the 76er offense while Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) is out. Through three games, he is averaging 19.0 points and 7.7 assists to give good, early fantasy value.
Fri Oct 31 201423:53Wroten provided 14 points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-11 FT), three reb...
Wroten provided 14 points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-11 FT), three rebounds, six assists, and three steals in 35 minutes in the loss to Milwaukee on Friday. He negated some of his fantasy goodness with eight turnovers.
Wroten is going to put up pleasant counting numbers while Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) is out. He is going to turn the ball over and miss a lot of free throws (9-of-19 in two games), so his overall value must be weighed.
