Fri Mar 818:36Nicolas Batum Ruled Out For Friday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's meeting with New Orleans. He has been downgraded from a questionable status. Batum comes out of the lineup right after getting a new look in the starting unit against Memphis on Wednesday. His absence could give a starter's role back to Kelly Oubre Jr., while Kenyon Martin Jr. might also have a larger role. Oubre Jr. is enjoying a good season in Philadelphia and could be ready for a massive night offensively on Friday, with Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (concussion) out of the lineup.

Fri Mar 817:41Nicolas Batum Questionable Against New Orleans
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (foot) is uncertain to suit up for Friday's game against the visiting Pelicans. The 35-year-old has been heavily involved of late, logging 30 minutes in four games in March. But he's dealing with foot soreness, and considering his history, fantasy managers should begin planning accordingly. If Batum is ruled out, Kenyon Martin Jr. might see more action. However, he'd be a risky option in any fantasy format.

Fri Feb 2316:22Nicolas Batum Questionable Friday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers. The 35-year-old played 18 minutes and didn't attempt a shot in the team's 110-96 loss to the Knicks on Thursday. If Batum is sidelined, KJ Martin could see increased playing time. The Sixers may choose to exercise caution on the second night of a back-to-back and rest the veteran. Batum is averaging 5.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 25.3 minutes per game this season.

Wed Feb 2116:45Nicolas Batum Officially Questionable Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks at home. The 35-year-old hasn't played since January 29th, but he participated in practice before the All-Star break and again on Wednesday without any limitations. Head coach Nick Nurse suggested the veteran is probable to make his return, barring any setbacks during pregame warmups. Batum holds averages of 5.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 25.5 minutes per game this season.

Wed Feb 1408:36Nicolas Batum Stays On Sidelines Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) won't feature against Miami on Wednesday, missing a ninth consecutive game. The French veteran is trying to recover from a hamstring strain but still needs more time to heal. However, the good news for the Sixers and him is the fact that the team will be off until Feb. 22 following Wednesday's action, which will give Batum a lot of time to get ready for the next game. With Tobias Harris (hip) also out of the lineup, Kenyon Martin Jr. moved to the starting unit on Monday versus Cleveland. Philadelphia's injuries have also boosted the playing time of Ricky Council IV.

Mon Feb 1216:23Nicolas Batum Still Out Monday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) will not play in Monday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. A strained left hamstring will cause an eighth straight absence for Batum, but head coach Nick Nurse said before Friday's defeat to the Atlanta Hawks that the veteran forward has a "decent chance" to return prior to the All-Star break. The Sixers host the Miami Heat on Wednesday, which is their final outing before the break. Philly's rotation remains incredibly thin, so Buddy Hield will be needed for heavy minutes in their starting group, and he's logged at least 20 points, four treys, six assists, and 36 minutes in each of his first two games with his new team since arriving at last Thursday's trade deadline. Cleveland ranks first against opposing swingmen, per DraftKings scoring, but Hield's volume makes him a must-start in all season-long fantasy setups.

Fri Feb 910:42Nicolas Batum Will Miss Game Against Hawks
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is set to miss his sixth consecutive game after the team already ruled him out for Friday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran forward has gone through multiple stints on the sidelines so far this season, and his absence is felt more than ever with four players already out and the two newcomers not ready to make their debut. After trading away five players for two in return, the 76ers are going to be very thin in this game. Kenyon Martin Jr., Kelly Oubre Jr., and Ricky Council IV will all see added minutes. Each one of them presents a high-risk streaming situation though, so fantasy managers will want to look elsewhere unless they're in a pinch.

Sun Feb 422:30Nicolas Batum Set To Miss Fourth Consecutive Game On Monday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) continues to deal with a left hamstring strain that will keep him out of at least one more game. The team has already ruled him out on Monday for their game against the Dallas Mavericks. The 35-year-old's absence has been felt as the team's defense and ability to spread the ball around on offense have both suffered in the past few games. Batum, along with Joel Embiid (knee) and De'Anthony Melton (back), will be three of the five starters to watch from the sidelines while Tobias Harris (illness) could join them. Kelly Oubre Jr. has been in the starting lineup in his place, and could serve as a solid streaming option in deeper leagues.

Sat Feb 309:58Nicolas Batum In Danger Of Missing Another Game
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) sits on the injury report as questionable for Saturday's clash with the Nets. The veteran is bothered by hamstring tightness and could be out for a third consecutive game. From a statistical point of view, the absence of Batum isn't big news, but he's been a regular starter ever since arriving in Philadelphia and does well all the little things that don't show on the box score. Danuel House Jr. has stepped into the starting five during Batum's absence. He has struggled to make his mark and isn't a good option for fantasy managers.

Wed Jan 3121:12Nicolas Batum Questionable For Thursday's Game
Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. The veteran forward was held out of Tuesday's contest due to a left hamstring tightness. The absence of Batum resulted in Danuel House Jr. moving into the starting five. He played nearly 30 minutes, but only scored seven points on 1-of-4 shooting on Tuesday. Fantasy managers shouldn't take the gamble with House, assuming he gets another start if Batum sits out.

Wed Dec 27 202309:58Nicolas Batum Misses Fourth Consecutive Game
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) has been ruled out for a fourth consecutive game ahead of the team's visit to Orlando. Batum's numbers haven't been anything special this season, but he's been a starter for Philadelphia, and the team definitely misses his presence. Kelly Oubre Jr. has moved into the starting unit in Batum's absence. Following a couple of poor performances, he went off for 25 points on 6-for-9 three-point shooting on Christmas Day against Miami, and Oubre Jr. should play a big role again on offense Wednesday night, as Joel Embiid (ankle) also remains sidelined for Philadelphia.

Fri Dec 1 202310:25Nicolas Batum Probable To Play Against Celtics
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (finger) has been listed as probable to play on Friday against the Boston Celtics despite dealing with some lingering finger pain. The 34-year-old has become an important contributor on his new team and has received his most minutes per contest since the 2020-21 season. Batum still seems to be more relevant in deeper fantasy leagues, especially while Kelly Oubre Jr. (ribs) is still on the mend.

Fri Nov 17 202309:59Nicolas Batum Set To Miss Another Game On Friday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (personal) has been ruled out of the team's in-season tournament game on Friday night due to personal reasons, which will be his third consecutive game missed for the same reasons. He has proven to be a very good role player for this team and has started while Kelly Oubre Jr. (ribs) is on the mend. While both of them remain sidelined, Robert Covington and Jaden Springer should both see added opportunities against the Atlanta Hawks. The former would be the more trustworthy streaming option at this point.

Mon Nov 13 202323:07Nicolas Batum Won't Play Against Indiana
Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (personal) won't play in Tuesday's rematch with the Pacers. Kelly Oubre Jr. (ribs) is out after he was struck by a car while walking near his home on Saturday, so Batum his spot in the rotation in Sunday's game versus Indiana. The veteran played well in his first start since being traded by the Clippers, amassing nine points, seven boards, three blocks, and a steal. However, without Batum or Oubre, Robert Covington or Paul Reed could move into the starting lineup, with the latter being a more reliable streaming option in all fantasy formats.

Tue Aug 15 202315:24Nicolas Batum To Retire After Upcoming Season
Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum is set to retire once his contract expires with the team at the end of this coming season. This news comes from his wife, Lily Batum. The 34-year-old previously announced that he would retire from the French national team after the 2024 Olympics. So, it seems that the Olympic competition will be the final basketball games of his professional career. Batum was initially drafted 25th overall in the 2008 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets and was traded to the Trail Blazers on draft day.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum showed some phenomenal shooting ability in Monday's matchup against the Bulls, hitting eight treys for a 24-point night in a 124-112 win. He led all scorers in the contest, shooting 8-for-10 overall, while registering three rebounds and five assists with two steals. The French veteran made his 13th start of the campaign with Marcus Morris Sr. (illness) unavailable for the contest. It's been reported that Batum will now be in the starting unit for the rest of the season and that will give a nice boost to his fantasy value.

Fri Jan 6 202317:35Nicolas Batum Will Miss Second Straight Outing Friday
LA Clippers power forward/center Nicolas Batum (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Minnesota due to a sprained left ankle, marking his second consecutive absence. While Batum has been an integral role player for the Clippers, he has averaged just 4.9 field-goal attempts per contest this season, leaving him on the periphery of season-long relevance. Without him in the mix, Robert Covington should see a larger role with the second unit and could be a viable low-cost DFS option for as long as Batum remains sidelined.

Wed Jan 4 202320:12Nicolas Batum Listed As Out For Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (ankle) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran forward has been ruled out in advance due to a left ankle sprain. His absence won't have a huge impact on the rotation with Kawhi Leonard (illness) back in the mix. Possibly, Robert Covington has a bigger role off the bench. However, he isn't consistent enough to be considered a viable fantasy option.

Mon Jan 2 202313:34Nicolas Batum Tagged As Questionable For Monday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The veteran forward is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a left ankle sprain. His absence would likely mean more playing time for Robert Covington. However, he played only eight minutes on Saturday with Batum on the sideline. That being said, Covington won't be an ideal streaming option even if Batum is unable to play.

Fri Dec 30 202217:53Reggie Jackson, Nicolas Batum Questionable For Saturday
LA Clippers point guard Reggie Jackson (Achilles) and power forward/center Nicolas Batum (ankle) have both earned questionable designations ahead of Saturday's contest vs. Indiana. Jackson has been a staple of LA's starting five this year, while Batum is the lone member of the roster to appear in all 37 contests. An absence from Jackson would pave the way for John Wall to take on an elevated role, while Robert Covington and other wing members would likely cover for Batum. Jackson has averaged 5.5 fewer shots per game in 2022-23 with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard largely back in the mix, pushing the veteran to the fence of season-long roster viability in most formats.
