Tue Mar 17 201514:37Wroten (knee) recovering as expected
Wroten (knee) is recovering as expected, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Wroten, who underwent surgery in early-February, was leading the Sixers in scoring at the time of his injury. Coach Brett Brown did not have much to say about the guard's progress, but he noted that everything is going well up to this point. "No great news," Brown said. "No new news, just on track, doing well, goes back and forth from [his hometown of] Seattle to Philadelphia. We are getting more organized with him. But he's in great spirits and we look forward to welcoming him back. That will be not for a long time."

Wroten had successful surgery to repair the partially torn ACL in his right knee Tuesday.
Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery in Florida, and Wroten will now begin the extensive recovery process. He will likely miss the the rest of the season, and it is not clear when he will return to full strength.
Fri Jan 23 201517:28Tony Wroten: Diagnosed With Torn ACL
Wroten has been diagnosed with a torn ACL that will require surgery. The 76ers have yet to release a specific timetable for his return.
It's still unofficial, although Wroten is likely out for the rest season with the partial tear of his anterior cruciate ligament. The 21-year-old's right knee will likely take a substantial time to recover, and the beginning of his 2015-16 may even be in jeopardy. He played in 30 games for Philadelphia this season while averaging 16.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.6 steals, and 0.3 blocks.
Tue Jan 20 201513:27Wroten (knee) will visit specialist in California on Wednesday
Wroten (knee) will visit a specialist in California on Wednesday, Tom Moore of Calkins Media reports.
Wroten left Tuesday's game with a knee sprain, but the team is concerned it could be a more serious issue. He'll fly to California on Wednesday, which means he's almost guaranteed to miss Wednesday night's game against the Knicks. A further update should be available following the visit, but for now consider Wroten day-to-day and extremely unlikely to play Wednesday.
Mon Jan 19 201513:48Tony Wroten: (Knee) Out Monday, Maybe Longer
Wroten (knee) won't play in Monday's game against the Wizards, Comcast Sports Philadelphia reports. He also could be dealing with more than a sprained right knee according to coach Brett Brown.
Wroten left last Tuesday's contest with what was believed to be a knee sprain, but it could be worse than initially thought. He will miss Monday's game at a minimum, and is undergoing more tests on his knee. The Sixers' guard should receive an updated status at some point prior to Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Sat Jan 17 201522:38Wroten (knee) didn't play during Saturday's loss at Detroit
Wroten (knee) didn't play during Saturday's loss at Detroit.
The absence marks Wroten's third in a row due to a sprained right knee. As the Sixers' next game, Monday in Washington, approaches, keep a close eye on his ability to take the court. If he remains sidelined, Hollis Thompson and JaKarr Sampson would again receive a boost in minutes off the bench.
Fri Jan 16 201517:42Wroten (knee) ruled out for Friday's game against Pelicans
Wroten (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Christopher A. Vito of the Sixers organization reports.
Wroten suffered a right knee sprain during Tuesday's game against the Hawks and has been sidelined ever since. His next opportunity to get back on the court will be against the Pistons on Saturday, although he should be considered doubtful until official word is given from the organization.
Tue Jan 13 201522:07Tony Wroten: (Knee) Not Expected To Travel To Toronto
Wroten (knee) is not expected to make the trip to Toronto, the Bucks County Courier Times' Tom Moore reports.
He suffered a right knee sprain Tuesday and did not return. JaKarr Sampson will serve as the backup point guard behind Michael Carter-Williams on Wednesday. Monitor Wroten's status throughout the week to see if he will be able to give it a go for Friday's game against the Pelicans, but it is possible he may miss more than a couple games with the injury.
Tue Jan 13 201521:16Tony Wroten: Leaves With Knee Sprain
Wroten suffered a right knee sprain in Tuesday's game and will not return.
The injury will sideline Wroten indefinitely, with K.J. McDaniels acting as the primary beneficiary. Look for the Sixers to add someone to the roster to provide backcourt depth if Wroten is going to be out for more than a couple games.
Mon Jan 5 201521:40Wroten scored 20 points (8-18 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT) to go along w...
Wroten scored 20 points (8-18 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT) to go along with one rebound and eight assists in 28 minutes Monday against the Cavaliers.
Wroten resumed his bench role with Michael Carter-Williams returning from injury, but still scored at least 20 points for the fifth time in his last six games. Continue to expect Wroten to provide plenty of offense regardless if he starts or comes off the bench.
Sun Jan 4 201501:09Wroten, who started in place of Michael Carter-Williams (shoulde...
Wroten, who started in place of Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder), scored 27 points (8-21 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT) with four rebounds, seven assists, and one steal in 39 minutes Saturday.
While Wroten routinely murders the percentage and turnover categories, his counting stats make his appeal in head-to-head leagues undeniable. While Carter-Williams' injury doesn't appear to be serious, Wroten was posting relevant lines off the bench and if you can stomach the inefficiency, he's a great add in most leagues.
Sat Jan 3 201521:23Wroten will start Saturday's game against Clippers
Wroten will start Saturday's game against the Clippers, The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Wroten will get the start with Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) sitting out for precautionary reasons. Wroten notched 28 points in Friday's game and has averaged 17.6 points and 6.3 assists in his 14 other starts this season, compared to 15.9 points and 3.6 assists in 10 games off the bench.
Sat Jan 3 201501:20Wroten had 28 points (10-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-9 FT) two rebounds, t...
Wroten had 28 points (10-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-9 FT) two rebounds, three assists and three steals in 33 minutes off the Sixer's bench Friday.
Wroten has been solid all year for the Sixers whether it's been starting in place of Michael Carter-Williams or coming off the bench. He has missed six games due to a knee injury. He is averaging 20 points a game since he last missed a game due to the injury. Wroten has been playing 28 minutes a game in that span.

Wroten replaced JaKarr Sampson as the starter at shooting guard in the second half, and scored 20 points (8-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT) with six rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes Saturday.
Wroten has now scored at least 20 points in the two games since sitting with knee soreness, and has been surprisingly efficient in those contests. Don't expect that to last, but Wroten should be looked at in leagues where you want to bump your counting stats at the expense of percentages and turnovers. He has accumulated seven steals in his past three games, which is almost enough to make him a must-own player.
Sat Dec 27 201400:52Wroten (knee) returned to lineup Friday against Trail Blazers, a...
Wroten (knee) returned to the lineup Friday against the Trail Blazers, and came off the bench to score 22 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT) and pick up four rebounds, four assists and two steals.
Wroten only missed one game with a sprained knee. As long as he's active, owners will want to use him in their lineups. Wroten is one of, if not the, top scoring options for the awful Sixers. Wroten is averaging 16.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game this season and has scored double-digit points in every game he's played this month.
Fri Dec 26 201415:52Tony Wroten: (Knee) Will Play Friday
Wroten (knee) will play against Portland on Friday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Wroten missed Tuesday's game against the Heat but appears ready to get back on the court after a couple days of rest. With Hollis Thompson (illness) already ruled out Friday, Wroten could be in store for a significant compliment of minutes.
Tue Dec 23 201419:58Wroten will not play Tuesday due to right knee sprain
Wroten will not play Tuesday due to a right knee sprain.
He was a late scratch, and it's not clear how serious the injury is. Consider him day-to-day for now, but with the Sixers' not playing again until Friday, hopefully the time off will allow him to take the court again this week.

Wroten posted a solid line Sunday against the Magic, contributing 10 points, one rebound, seven assists, three blocks, and one three-pointer in 31 minutes of action.
It is clear that Wroten has taken a backseat at the return of Michael Carter-Williams and the emergence of Robert Covington. He's averaging just 11.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.6 three-pointers made in the month of December, and his insane production November seems like a distant memory. Still, dropping him in standard leagues would be a mistake, as Wroten has the ability to explode on any given day. If he was dropped in a 10-man league or deeper, feel free to pick him up and enjoy the roller-coaster ride that comes with owning the Sixers mob.
Sat Dec 20 201403:34Wroten scored 19 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and added one...
Wroten scored 19 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and added one rebound, three assists and one block in 24 minutes off the bench against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.
Wroten has had two solid games with 17 and 19 points and one dud game with zero points since returning from a knee sprain. His minutes have been reduced, as he is averaging 24 minutes a game in his last three games, which is about seven minutes less than his season average. This is due to lineup changes and injuries, but we will see soon what the plan is for Wroten. If he continues to score at a high rate, the Sixers are going to have a hard time keeping Wroten out of the lineup.
Sat Dec 13 201411:19Tony Wroten: (Knee) Comes Off Bench Friday
Wroten (knee) put up 12 points, three rebounds, three assists, and one steal during 22 minutes off the bench against the Nets on Friday.
Wroten seems to be easing his way back into the rotation after missing Philadelphia's past six games with a knee sprain. He'll likely be limited yet again when the Sixers face the Grizzlies on Saturday.
