Reed will not start Wednesday's Game 2 versus the Celtics, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Reed double-doubled in both of his starts filling in for Joel Embiid, who was dealing with a sprained right knee. However, with Embiid cleared for Game 2 action, Reed will return to the second unit. Reed averaged 6.3 points and 4.3 rebounds across 11.3 minutes in his three playoff appearances with the reserves and should handle a similar workload Wednesday.

76ers' Paul Reed: Double-double in Game 4 win
Rotowire
Reed notched 10 points (5-10 FG), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 96-88 victory over the Nets in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, Reed stepped into the starting lineup, helping the Nets secure a 4-0 series win. Head coach Doc Rivers started Reed over Montrezl Harrell and Dewayne Dedmon. It sounds as though Embiid could also miss at least the first game of Philadelphia's second-round series, meaning Reed's time as the starting center could extend a little longer.
Reed is starting at center in Saturday's Game 4 against the Nets.
With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, Reed was the expected replacement at center, so there is no surprise here. As a result, the big man figures to see a heavier workload than the previous games in this series. He averaged 15.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 30.7 minutes in two starts during the regular season.

76ers' Paul Reed: Retakes spot on bench for Game 1
Rotowire
Reed won't start Saturday's Eastern Conference First Round versus the Nets.
Reed grabbed a pair of starts with Joel Embiid resting late in the regular season, but he'll resume his usual bench role behind Embiid in postseason play. Reed can compile some decent stat lines even in limited minutes, so he should remain an option in some daily formats despite the move back to the bench.

76ers' Paul Reed: Dominates in spot start
Rotowire
Reed posted 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five blocks, two steals and one assist across 28 minutes during Sunday's 134-105 win over the Nets.
Starting in place of a resting Joel Embiid in the regular-season finale, Reed delivered an outstanding line for anyone who streamed him for rebounds and/or production in the defensive categories. After being on the periphery of head coach Doc Rivers' rotation for the early part of the season, Reed seemingly established himself as the clear top backup to Embiid over Montrezl Harrell and Dewayne Dedmon by the end of the campaign. He appeared in 69 of the 76ers' 82 games, averaging 4.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.7 blocks, 0.7 steals and 0.4 assists in 10.9 minutes per contest while shooting 59.3 percent from the field. So long as Embiid is available, Reed doesn't have much upside to see his role expand much in 2023-24, but as he showed Sunday, the third-year big man boasts a fantasy-friendly skill set that could make him an appealing pickup if Embiid misses time at any point.

76ers' Paul Reed: Starting Friday
Rotowire
Reed is starting at center for Friday's game in Atlanta, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.
The 76ers are resting all their usual starters, so Reed figures to see a healthy role throughout the game. The start is his first of the season.

76ers' Paul Reed: Turns in another solid showing
Rotowire
Reed ended with 11 points (3-5 FG, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 14 minutes during Friday's 117-110 win over Toronto.
Reed has looked strong off the bench in the last week of March, as he's scored in double digits in two of his last three contests and has tallied three blocks and three steals over this brief stretch. As long as he continues to log around 15 minutes per contest, Reed could be a streaming option for fantasy managers in search of rebounds and blocks down the stretch.

76ers' Paul Reed: Near double-double off bench
Rotowire
Reed registered 16 points (7-7 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 17 minutes during Monday's 116-111 loss to the Nuggets.
With Joel Embiid (calf) sitting out, Dewayne Dedmon drew the start at center, but Reed saw more playing time and outproduced the veteran backup. Embiid is questionable Wednesday against Dallas, so Reed could see elevated usage again if the MVP candidate is absent.

76ers' Paul Reed: Dynamic in limited minutes
Rotowire
Reed amassed eight points (4-8 FG), 10 rebounds and three blocks in 12 minutes during Friday's 121-82 victory over the Hornets.
Reed grabbed a few extra minutes Friday, cashing in as the game fell into garbage time. Known as a per-minute beast, Reed lived up to expectations, falling two rebounds short of a double-double and adding three blocked shots. While there is no move to currently make from a fantasy perspective, managers can hope that Reed lands in a more favorable situation at some point.

76ers' Paul Reed: Posts quality line in limited run
Rotowire
Reed finished Monday's 147-143 win over the Pacers with eight points (4-4 FG), four rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal in 11 minutes off the bench.
Reed has now played in each of Philadelphia's last 11 games and clearly seems to have surpassed Montrezl Harrell and Dewayne Dedmon as the team's preferred backup center. As was evident in his stat line Monday, Reed possesses the ability to post interesting fantasy numbers on a per-minute basis, but he won't get enough playing time to emerge as anything more than a deep-league option unless superstar Joel Embiid misses time. Reed has eclipsed 20 minutes just once in the aforementioned 11 games, and it came in the lone contest Embiid sat out during that stretch (March 1 in Miami).

76ers' Paul Reed: Double-doubles off bench
Rotowire
Reed finished with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds and two blocks across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-96 victory over the Heat.
Reed has shown he can produce when given enough minutes, and Wednesday's game was no different, as he enjoyed an uptick in playing time due to the absence of Joel Embiid (foot) and responded with a double-double, his fourth of the season. Reed has double-doubled in every game that he's logged at least 24 minutes, but his playing time moving forward will be directly related to Embiid's availability.

76ers' Paul Reed: Scores five as reserve
Rotowire
Reed provided five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two blocks across nine minutes during Wednesday's 118-112 victory over the Cavaliers.
Reed saw a slight decrease in playing time Wednesday after logging double-digit minutes in his previous three appearances, but he made the most of his opportunities on both ends of the floor. He was perfect on his two field-goal attempts and led the team with two blocks, marking the third time in the last four games that he's had at least two blocks or steals.
Reed logged 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and three steals in 24 minutes during Sunday's 123-111 win over Detroit.
Reed paced the 76ers' bench in scoring while leading the team in rebounds during Sunday's victory. Reed notched his second-highest point and rebound totals of the year en route to his third double-double of the season.

76ers' Paul Reed: Minimal role again Saturday
Rotowire
Reed had two points (1-5 FG), three rebounds and one block in four minutes during Saturday's 115-96 win over the Thunder.
Reed logged fewer than six minutes for the 11th straight game, continuing a disappointing season. On the surface, it appears he should be getting playing time over the likes of Montrezl Harrell. Unfortunately, that has been the case despite Harrell being nothing short of disastrous. Reed has no place in most fantasy leagues, but he is a player to watch should he supplant Harrell at some point down the track.
