Tony Bradley Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Pacers vs 76ers game on Friday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Nov 28, 2025
Muted role continues
Bradley chipped in five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in eight minutes during Friday's 119-86 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Bradley appears to have fallen to third in the center stakes, having now played fewer than 10 minutes in five straight games. During that time, he has averaged just 1.8 points and 0.6 rebounds, ensuring managers can move on in all formats.
Nov 17, 2025
Reverting back to bench Monday
Bradley won't start Monday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
With Isaiah Jackson returning to the starting five, Bradley will shift back to the second unit. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the 27-year-old center has averaged 5.0 points and 4.4 rebounds across 14.2 minutes per game.
Nov 11, 2025
Starting vs. Utah
Bradley is in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The Pacers will tweak their starting lineup once again and Bradley will get the nod at center over Isaiah Jackson. Bradley is averaging 5.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.3 blocks per game across 10 outings off the bench this season. This will be his first start of the 2025-26 campaign.
Nov 6, 2025
Sees 14 minutes in loss
Bradley closed with four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 112-103 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Isaiah Jackson and Jay Huff are beginning to pull away from Bradley in this center rotation. Across eight regular-season appearances, Bradley has seen 12.3 minutes per contest with averages of 5.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.3 blocks.
Oct 27, 2025
Steps up in loss
Bradley ended with 12 points (6-7 FG), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Indiana is using a revolving-door rotation at the center spot, making this a frustrating situation for fantasy managers. It does present an opportunity for one of the centers to run away with the job, but so far, none have been able to do so. Bradley did make a strong case to be more involved with this performance, so his role is worth monitoring closely moving forward.
Oct 24, 2025
Plays ahead of Wiseman
Bradley produced two points (1-1 FG, 0-1 FT) and one block in 10 minutes during Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Isaiah Jackson drew the start at center, but head coach Rick Carlisle quickly adjusted to smaller lineups. Jackson finished with only eight minutes, while Obi Toppin (40) and Jarace Walker (39) saw a ton of playing time as small-ball fives. Bradley was the next center up behind Jackson, with James Wiseman notably not part of the Opening Night rotation.
Jun 29, 2025
Team option picked up
The Pacers exercised their $2.94 million team option in Bradley's contract Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley will return to Indiana for a second season after signing two 10-day pacts followed by a one-year deal with the club in March 2025. The 27-year-old center appeared in 14 regular-season games for the Pacers last season, averaging 4.4 points and 3.0 rebounds across 8.1 minutes per contest.
Jun 23, 2025
Minimal impact Sunday
Bradley ended with two points (2-2 FT) and one rebound across five minutes during Sunday's 103-91 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS
Bradley didn't attempt a shot in his five minutes of action Sunday but sank two free throws to avoid a scoreless performance. The center served as a deep reserve throughout both the playoffs and regular season. Across 14 regular-season appearances, he averaged 4.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 8.1 minutes per game.
Apr 14, 2025
Swats five shots
Bradley logged 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 27 minutes during Sunday's 126-118 double-overtime win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Bradley swatted a career-high five shots and recorded the sixth double-double of his career. The Pacers rested several key players in the season finale, and the regular rotation players that did suit up saw limited run. Despite this big performance, Bradley is not likely to be very involved in Indiana's postseason rotation.
Apr 11, 2025
Flirts with double-double
Bradley contributed 10 points (5-10 FG), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's 129-115 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Bradley played a season-high 24.3 minutes, falling one rebound short of his first double-double. The Pacers were resting a number of their stars, allowing their fringe players to see extended minutes. Indiana will face the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs, with Sunday's game against the Cavaliers having no impact on the standings. Bradley could once again play meaningful minutes should the coaching staff opt to give the starters another night of rest.
Apr 3, 2025
Removed from injury report
Bradley (illness) has been cleared to play Friday against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
After missing Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to an illness, Bradley will be available to play Friday against Utah. However, he hasn't made much of an impact from a fantasy perspective, as he averages only 5.7 minutes per game for Indiana this season.
Apr 1, 2025
Ruled out with illness
Bradley (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Bradley will not be available for the Pacers on Wednesday due to illness. However, his absence won't have much of an impact from a fantasy perspective, as he's averaging 5.7 minutes per game.
Mar 23, 2025
Signs pact with Indiana
The Pacers signed Bradley to a contract for the remainder of the season Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Bradley will stick with the Pacers for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign after signing two 10-day deals with the club in March. The center has provided some emergency relief for the club, averaging 3.5 points and 2.0 rebounds across 6.0 minutes per contest in six appearances. However, Bradley has played double-digit minutes in only one game, and he'll likely continue to serve as a fringe rotation player.
Mar 18, 2025
Best outing of season
Bradley contributed 12 points (6-8 FG), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 20 minutes during Monday's 132-130 overtime victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Bradley saw an expanded role Monday and recorded double-digit minutes for the first time this season, although that happened due to the absences of Myles Turner (hip) and Pascal Siakam (personal) in the frontcourt. The veteran made the most of the opportunity, setting several campaign-best marks while ending just one rebound shy of a double-double. One good game shouldn't alter his upside drastically, though, and Bradley should continue to be no more than a depth option in the Pacers' frontcourt.
Mar 13, 2025
Gets another 10-day deal
Bradley and the Pacers agreed to a second 10-day contract Thursday.
ANALYSIS
During his first stint with Indiana, Bradley logged 11 minutes across four appearances with a total of six points, four rebounds, one assist and one block on a perfect 3-of-3 mark from the field.
Mar 1, 2025
Inks deal with Pacers
The Pacers are signing Bradley to a 10-day contract Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley has spent the 2024-25 campaign with the G League's College Park Skyhawks. However, he will now get the opportunity to compete for depth minutes in Indiana's frontcourt.
Oct 7, 2024
Joins Atlanta for training camp
Bradley signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Hawks on Monday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley hasn't appeared in an NBA regular-season game since 2022-23. The veteran will get a chance to compete for an Opening Night roster spot during training camp and could help fill minutes if Onyeka Okongwu (toe) can't play during the preseason.
Oct 20, 2023
Let go by Dallas
The Mavericks waived Bradley on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Bradley made 12 appearances for the Bulls last season and averaged 1.6 points in 2.8 minutes. However, he is set to spend the 2023-24 campaign with the Mavericks' G League affiliate, the Texas Legends.
Oct 19, 2023
Signs with Dallas
Bradley signed a contract with Dallas on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
It's not yet clear whether Bradley will play in Friday's preseason finale against Detroit, but it seems relatively unlikely that he'll make the Mavericks' final roster. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see him secure a role in the G League this year.
Feb 21, 2023
Expected to be waived
The Bulls are expected to waive Bradley on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley has appeared in just 12 contests this season and hasn't played more than four minutes in any of those games. His release will open up a roster sport for the Bulls to add Patrick Beverley via free agency. Wojnarowski adds that there are still plenty of teams in the mix for a backup center, so Bradley could find a new team soon, though he's unlikely to garner a substantial role anywhere.
Jan 15, 2023
Available Sunday
Bradley (COVID-19 protocols) is available for Sunday's matchup against Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Bradley has missed five straight games while in COVID-19 protocols, but he'll be available off the bench Sunday. However, he isn't expected to garner a large enough role to crack fantasy relevancy.
Jan 14, 2023
Questionable Sunday
Bradley (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Warriors K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley has missed five consecutive games due to COVID-19 protocols and is at risk of missing a sixth. However, he plays a minimal role with the Bulls so his status will not have much impact on the rotation.
Jan 12, 2023
Sidelined again Friday
Bradley (COVID-19 protocols) remains out for Friday's game versus the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Bradley doesn't typically feature much in the Bulls rotation, so his absence should be negligible from a fantasy standpoint.
Jan 10, 2023
Won't play Wednesday
Bradley (COVID-19) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Bradley will miss a fourth straight game due to COVID-19 protocols. His prolonged absence shouldn't impact head coach Billy Donovan's rotation.
Jan 8, 2023
Remains out Monday
Bradley (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) is listed as out for Monday's game in Boston.
ANALYSIS
Bradley hasn't been a regular part of the Bulls' rotation at any point this season, so his continued absence Monday won't affect how head coach Billy Donovan doles out the minutes among his frontcourt players.
Jan 7, 2023
Out again Saturday
Bradley (COVID-19 protocols) will miss Saturday's game versus the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
After previously missing time for personal reasons, Bradley sat out Friday's game with what was described as a non-COVID illness. However, he has now been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, suggesting he is dealing with COVID-19. He'll need to clear protocols before returning, though Bradley isn't a regular rotation member even when healthy.
Jan 6, 2023
Won't play Friday
Bradley is out for Friday's game versus the 76ers due to a non-COVID illness.
ANALYSIS
Bradley is a late scratch for Friday's contest. However, his absence is unlikely to affect the Bulls' rotation.
Jan 5, 2023
Not on injury report
Bradley (personal) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Bradley was unavailable for the last two games due to personal reasons, but he should be able to suit up against Philadelphia. He's unlikely to play much of a role for the Bulls despite his availability.
Jan 3, 2023
Still out
Bradley (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Bradley will miss a second straight game due to personal reasons. However, his absence shouldn't have an impact on Chicago's rotation.
Jan 2, 2023
Out Monday
Bradley (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Bradley won't suit up due to personal reasons. However, he isn't part of the Bulls' regular rotation, so his absence shouldn't have an impact on Chicago's game plan.
Jan 1, 2023
Unlikely to dress Monday
Bradley is considered doubtful to take the floor Monday versus the Cavaliers for personal reasons.
ANALYSIS
Bradley doesn't typically figure into the rotation anyway, so his absence shouldn't have a tangible impact. Assuming he sits, Bradley's next chance to suit up would surface Wednesday against the Neets.
Dec 16, 2022
Logs season-high five minutes
Bradley recorded two points (1-1 FG) and three rebounds across four minutes during Friday's 114-91 loss to New York.
ANALYSIS
Bradley saw a few extra minutes in the loss, just the eighth time he has seen action this season. The Bulls were just plain terrible in this one, continuing what has been a hugely disappointing season. As for Bradley, while he does have some nice per-minute upside, his role is far too small to warrant any fantasy attention.
Nov 1, 2022
Not called upon
Bradley did not play Saturday in the Bulls' 114-109 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Despite Andre Drummond (shoulder) being inactive, a heavy workload for Nikola Vucevic and a platoon of small-ball options absorbed the minutes instead of Bradley. Bradley appears to solely factor as depth/matchup-specific defense in Chicago.
Jun 28, 2022
Opts into player option for 2022-23
Bradley exercised his $2 million player option for the 2022-23 campaign, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley made 55 appearances last year -- his first with Chicago -- and averaged 3.0 points and 3.4 rebounds across 10.0 minutes per game. Currently, the 2017 first-round pick projects to be one of numerous backups to Nikola Vucevic. However, the Bulls are rumored to be in the market for frontcourt depth this offseason, so things are certainly subject to change before the regular season starts.
Apr 11, 2022
Nears double-double off bench
Bradley ended Sunday's 124-120 victory over the Timberwolves with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 15 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Bradley had fallen out of the Bulls' rotation recently, but he saw increased work in Sunday's regular-season finale with several key contributors resting. Although he came within two rebounds of a double-double against Minnesota, he should revert to his usual role when the playoffs get underway.
Jan 30, 2022
Solid effort off bench
Bradley supplied 10 points (5-7 FG), six rebounds and three steals over 16 minutes during Sunday's 130-116 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The North Carolina product logged only 10 total minutes over the previous four games, but he served as the backup to Nikola Vucevic on Sunday while Tyler Cook ended up as a DNP-CD. Even after one of his better showings of the season, Bradley doesn't make for an overly appealing fantasy option in most fantasy leagues. His workload has been far too inconsistent, and he's never flashed enough upside to warrant holding on a wait-and-see basis.
Jan 17, 2022
Racks up four defensive counters
Bradley registered three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT), two assists, two blocks and two steals in 14 minutes during Monday's 119-106 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Bradley played a limited role off the bench in the loss but still managed to chip in four defensive counters. Despite an element of upside, Bradley is firmly behind Nikola Vucevic in the rotation and is not touching the standard league landscape at this point. As a reference point, he has not played more than 15 minutes since November 22. However, in his last seven games, he has managed at least one block in six of those, making him a deep league streaming option.
Jan 6, 2022
Not on injury report
Bradley (conditioning) isn't on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Bradley cleared the league's health and safety protocols Monday but remained out for the team's game against Orlando for conditioning purposes. However, he should be back in action in a reserve role behind Nikola Vucevic on Friday.
Jan 3, 2022
Not available Monday
Bradley cleared the NBA's health and safety protocols but is still listed as out for Monday's contest against the Magic for conditioning purposes, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley was placed in the league's health and safety protocols Dec. 26 and has been sidelined since. After Monday's game, the Bulls don't play again until Friday, so that should give the backup center ample time to regain his conditioning before returning to NBA action. When he eventually makes his return, he's expected to reclaim his usual backup role behind Nikola Vucevic.
Dec 26, 2021
Lands in COVID-19 protocols
Bradley was placed in the league's health and safety protocols Sunday, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley and Alfonzo McKinnie are the latest Bulls players to land in COVID-19 protocols. In Bradley's absence, Tyler Cook, Marko Simonovic and Ersan Ilyasova will likely all compete for backup minutes behind Nikola Vucevic.
Nov 24, 2021
Returns to bench
Bradley will come off the bench Wednesday at Houston.
ANALYSIS
Bradley started the past seven games but will head back to the bench with Nikola Vucevic (COVID-19 protocols) rejoining the lineup for Wednesday's contest.
Nov 22, 2021
Sticks in starting five Sunday
Bradley finished with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 FT) and four rebounds over 18 minutes during Sunday's 109-103 victory over New York.
ANALYSIS
Bradley continues to start for the Bulls but is yet to do anything of note during what has been a nice opportunity. His time as a meaningful part of the rotation could be coming to an end with word Nikola Vucevic (health protocols) is progressing in his return. Despite the starting tag, Bradley is not a player to look at in standard formats.
Nov 13, 2021
Starts but plays 14 minutes
Bradley recorded three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during a 119-93 loss Friday against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Nikola Vucevic received a positive COVID-19 test, which allowed Bradley to record his first league start since March. The latter could continue receiving starts until Vucevic's likely Nov. 21 return date. However, the Bulls had Bradley play fewer minutes than five of their bench players did Friday and may opt to utilize smaller five-person rotations instead.
Oct 15, 2021
Available for finale
Bradley (back) is available for Friday's preseason final against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Bradley has recovered from his strained back. He'll look to back up Nikola Vucevic in this contest and in the regular season.
Oct 14, 2021
Probable Friday
Bradley (back) is probable for Friday's matchup against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Bradley has recently been dealing with a strained back, but he's rested and recovered enough to likely see the court in the Bulls' preseason finale.
Oct 13, 2021
Returns to practice Wednesday
Bradley (back) returned to practice Wednesday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley has yet to play in the preseason, but he will have one more chance to suit up Friday. His return to practice his a positive sign, but his status for the preseason finale against the Grizzlies is still up in the air.
Oct 9, 2021
Out Sunday
Bradley (back) is out for Sunday's preseason matchup against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Bradley will miss a third straight preseason game while dealing with a strained lower back. Marko Simonovic should get backup center minutes again.
Oct 8, 2021
Won't play Friday
Bradley (back) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Bradley will miss a second straight exhibition game due to a strained lower back. His next chance to return will be Sunday against the Cavaliers.
Oct 8, 2021
Doubtful Friday
Bradley (back) is doubtful for Friday's preseason game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Bradley is dealing with a strained lower back. The Bulls probably won't take the risk of aggravating the injury further.
Oct 5, 2021
Out Tuesday
Bradley (back) is out Tuesday against the Cavaliers, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Bradley won't debut for the Bulls during Tuesday's preseason action due to a strained back. The Bulls could end up running a lot of small-ball.
Oct 5, 2021
Doubtful Tuesday night
Bradley is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's preseason game against the Cavaliers due to a strained lower back.
ANALYSIS
The issue is likely nothing overly serious, but the Bulls will exercise caution with the big man, who will compete for the backup center job behind Nikola Vucevic. Bradley split last season between Philadelphia and Oklahoma City after spending his first three NBA seasons playing sparingly for the Jazz.
Aug 4, 2021
Headed to Chicago
Bradley has agreed to a one-year deal with the Bulls on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Last year, Bradley averaged 7.1 points and 5.7 rebounds in 16.3 minutes per game as he spilt time with the 76ers and the Thunder. The 23-year-old will likely compete against Cristiano Felicio for the Bulls' backup center role behind Nikola Vucevic. Vucevic has played over 30.0 minutes per game in each of his last three seasons, so even if Bradley beats out Felicio, his role will still be minimal.
Jul 27, 2021
Qualifying offer unlikely
Bradley is unlikely to be extended a qualifying offer by the Thunder, which would make him an unrestricted free agent, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley spent last season with the 76ers and Thunder. He showed some upside, as he averaged 7.1 points and 5.7 rebounds in 16.3 minutes per game. He should draw interest in the open market from teams looking for a backup center.
May 12, 2021
Scores 10 points off bench
Bradley notched 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and a steal across 17 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's loss at Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Bradley's playing time has been inconsistent of late and has only appeared in five of the Thunder's last 10 games, though he's been dealing with a minor ankle problem of late. He's only scored 10 or more points in two of those five contests, though, so his fantasy upside as a bench player who doesn't produce much on either end of the court is fairly limited.
Apr 27, 2021
Questionable Tuesday
Bradley (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley will be available on the second end of a back-to-back after he was sidelined Monday due to an ankle injury. His potential return would likely mean slightly decreased workloads for Moses Brown and Isaiah Roby.
Apr 26, 2021
Out Monday
Bradley (ankle) won't play Monday against the Sixers, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old was considered questionable for Monday's contest and will be unavailable due to a sprained left ankle. Moses Brown and Isaiah Roby should handle the bulk of the work at center for the Thunder with Bradley out.
Apr 26, 2021
Listed as questionable Monday
Bradley is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Sixers due to a sprained left ankle.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear when the injury occurred, but Bradley could end up missing at least one game, which would likely lead to increased opportunity for Isaiah Roby and Moses Brown. In his most-recent appearance Friday against the Wizards, Bradley posted four points, three rebounds and a steal in 11 minutes.
Apr 11, 2021
Double-doubles with three blocks
Bradley posted 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds, three blocks and one assist in 25 minutes during Saturday's loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old bounced back from Thursday's five-point and four-rebound effort to post his first double-double as a member of the Thunder. Bradley was averaging 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in his previous four games before Thursday's performance, so Saturday's bounce-back game was an encouraging sign from a developmental standpoint. The fourth-year center is averaging 10.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks off the bench over his past six games.
Apr 8, 2021
Scores 12 points in 21 minutes
Bradley added 12 points (6-9 FG) in 21 minutes while adding seven rebounds and a steal Wednesday in the loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Since being acquired by the Thunder, Bradley has added five or more rebounds in each outing while also scoring in double figures in two of the six contests. While he remains behind starter Moses Brown, Bradley has remained a relatively consistent with his production on the court. He is averaging 9.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game during his time in OKC.
Apr 4, 2021
Comes close to double-double
Bradley notched 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 25 minutes off the bench in Saturday's loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Bradley seems to have lost the starting role due to the emergence of Moses Brown, and he seems destined to have a bench role until the end of the season. He can put up decent performances on any given night, but the nature of his role moving forward is expected to limit his upside considerably.
Mar 29, 2021
Not listed on injury report
Bradley is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game versus the Mavs.
ANALYSIS
With Thursday's trade now finalized, it looks like Bradley has been cleared to make his Thunder debut Monday night. Oklahoma City already has a pair of promising young bigs in Moses Brown and Isaiah Roby, so Bradley will likely work off the bench as the third big man going forward. Over the weekend, the Thunder announced Al Horford will be shut down for the remainder of the season.
Mar 27, 2021
Out Saturday
Bradley (recently traded) will not play Saturday against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Bradley isn't yet with the Thunder after being dealt from the 76ers. His next chance to debut arrives Monday against the Mavericks.
Mar 25, 2021
Traded to OKC
Bradley was sent to the Thunder in a three-team deal that headlines George Hill going to the 76ers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley has seen the most minutes per game of his career this season, as he's been the fill-in starter when Joel Embiid (knee) is out. In being dealt to OKC, he will likely see his role decrease again.
Mar 24, 2021
Double-double in win
Bradley totaled 18 points (8-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two steals and two blocks in a 108-98 victory over the Warriors on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Bradley had by far his best game of the season Tuesday, as he impacted the game on both sides of the floor. The center was perfect on his eight shot attempts across his 32 minutes of action and also finished the game with new season-high point and steal totals. Since entering the starting lineup for Joel Embiid (knee), Bradley has averaged 7.0 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.
Mar 22, 2021
Held scoreless in 19 minutes
Bradley went scoreless (0-1 FG, 0-2 FT) with six rebounds and two assists in Sunday night's win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Bradley has started the last five games in the absence of Joel Embiid (knee), but he hasn't been nearly effective enough to warrant fantasy consideration in most leagues. He's split minutes relatively evenly with Dwight Howard, but Howard's volume rebounding and shot-blocking potential make him the better fantasy option of the two.
Mar 14, 2021
Grabs eight boards in start
Bradley had four points (2-3 FG), eight rebounds and four assists in Sunday's win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Starting in place of Joel Embiid (knee), Bradley saw 21 minutes of action in a game the Sixers broke open midway through the third quarter. Bradley could be looking at a multi-week stint as the starter, and while his ceiling is relatively limited, he may be worth a speculative flyer in fantasy leagues.
Mar 14, 2021
Back in starting five
Bradley will start Sunday's game against San Antonio, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
ANALYSIS
With Joel Embiid (knee) set to miss a few weeks, Bradley could be looking at an extended run as the starting center. He got the nod in Embiid's absence Thursday in Chicago and finished with 14 points, five boards and three blocks in 22 minutes of action.
Mar 12, 2021
Moving back to bench
Bradley will move back to the bench for Friday's game at Washington, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley got the spot start Thursday night with Joel Embiid (COVID-19 protocols) sidelined, but with the All-Star big man back healthy Friday, Bradley will slide back into a bench role. For most of the first half, Bradley was not a part of the regular rotation.
Mar 11, 2021
Swats three shots in win
Bradley contributed 14 points (7-7 FG), five rebounds and three blocks in 22 minutes of Thursday's 127-105 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Starting in place of Joel Embiid (COVID-19 protocols) Bradley made the most of his time as his 14 points and three blocked shots were tops for him this season. Despite getting the start, Bradley was still outplayed by Dwight Howard who ended up playing more minutes, scoring more points and grabbing more rebounds.
Mar 11, 2021
Starting Thursday
Bradley is in the starting five for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley has only played in four games since the start of February, but he's now set for his second start of the season. However, he wasn't much of a factor during his last start (Jan. 31 versus the Pacers), when he had just two points in 17 minutes.
Mar 1, 2021
Drops four points Monday
Bradley managed four points (2-2 FG) and one block during Monday's win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Bradley's four points were the most he has tallied since Jan. 25 against Detroit when he posted 12 points. However, the center has not been a factor at all this season, as he's averaging just 3.9 points in 11 appearances before Monday.
Jan 31, 2021
Unproductive in spot start
Bradley finished Sunday's win over the Pacers with two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes.
ANALYSIS
With Joel Embiid (back) out, Bradley looked to be positioned for a larger role, but coach Doc Rivers ultimately favored Dwight Howard, who finished with 11 points, 15 boards and two blocks in 25 minutes off the bench. With a pair of off days coming up, Embiid will likely be back for Wednesday's game at Charlotte.

Starting in place of Embiid
Bradley will start Sunday's game against the Pacers, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
As anticipated, Bradley will get the nod at center with Joel Embiid (back) sitting out for the second time in four games. Last time Embiid sat (Monday at DET), Bradley logged 23 minutes and finished with 12 points, nine rebounds and one block off the bench.

Will 'most likely' start for Embiid
Bradley is expected to start Sunday's game against the Pacers in place of Joel Embiid (back), Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philly reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Doc Rivers did not fully tip his hand, but he implied pregame that he's leaning toward starting Bradley at center, with Dwight Howard as the backup off the bench. When Embiid sat out Monday's loss to Detroit, Bradley saw 23 minutes off the bench and finished with 12 points, nine rebounds and a block.
Jan 25, 2021
Plays well in loss
Bradley scored 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT) to go along with nine rebounds and one block across 23 minutes in Monday's loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Bradley got extra run with Joel Embiid (back) sidelined and ultimately played only one minute less than Dwight Howard. He performed well in the opportunity and finished well around the basket. However, other than Monday's contest, Bradley has topped 20 minutes only once and doesn't take the floor when Philadelphia is at full strength.
Jan 12, 2021
Ready to play Tuesday
Bradley (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus Miami.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old was considered probable with a sore right ankle, so the fact he's suiting up isn't much of a surprise. Bradley has 17 points, 23 rebounds and three blocks in 28 minutes over the past two games with the Sixers playing short-handed.
Jan 12, 2021
Listed as probable Tuesday
Bradley (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Bradley is dealing with ankle soreness after he was given an increased workload in the last two games due to the team being shorthanded amid the league's health protocols. The 23-year-old will likely have a minor role if Joel Embiid (back) is able to play.
Jan 10, 2021
Impresses off bench
Bradley finished with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 24 minutes Saturday in the 76ers' 115-103 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Held out of the rotation in each of the 76ers' previous six games, Bradley stepped in as the backup center behind Dwight Howard while Philadelphia was down to just seven available players due to injuries or the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocol. Among those missing were Joel Embiid, who cleared the protocol but sat out due to back tightness. Even if Embiid is back in action Monday at Atlanta, he still appears likely to sit out at least once during the 76ers' upcoming five-game week, so both Howard and Bradley could be in store for more playing time in the short term.

Shipped to Philadelphia
Bradley was traded from the Pistons to the 76ers on Sunday in exchange for Zhaire Smith, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old was acquired from Utah earlier in the week but ended up spending only a few days with Detroit. Bradley is unlikely to see much playing time for the 76ers with Joel Embiid and Dwight Howard set to dominate the minutes at center.
Nov 18, 2020
Dealt to Pistons
Bradley was traded to the Pistons on Wednesday, along with the 38th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, in exchange for cash and future draft considerations, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
For the Jazz, the move is mostly financially motivated, as moving Bradley gives Utah some salary cap and roster flexibility. The 28th pick in 2017, Bradley appeared in only 12 games during his first two NBA seasons, but he stepped into a more prominent role as the backup to Rudy Gobert last season. In 58 appearances, Bradley averaged 4.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 11.4 minutes per game.
Aug 14, 2020
Grabs 10 boards in start
Bradley scored six points on 3-for-7 shooting while adding 10 rebounds, an assist and a block in 22 minutes during Thursday's 118-112 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Getting the start in place of Rudy Gobert (back), Bradley hit the glass for double-digit boards for the second time in the Orlando bubble. The third-year big established himself as a useful frontcourt rotation option this season, but his ceiling is modest -- Bradley averaged 6.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 15.8 minutes over eight games since the restart. Assuming Gobert is healthy after getting a few days to rest before the Jazz open the playoffs against the Nuggets on Monday, Bradley's postseason production is likely to be just as limited.
Aug 7, 2020
Ties career highs Friday
Bradley posted 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 22 minutes during Friday's 119-111 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Bradley started in place of the resting Gobert and matched his career highs in points, rebounds, assists and blocks. Assuming Gobert returns Saturday, Bradley should head back to his usual bench role.
Mar 11, 2020
Starting for sick Gobert
Bradley will start Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Rudy Gobert (illness) sidelined, Bradley will get the nod at center. In his two previous starts this season, he's averaged 11.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 assist in 22.5 minutes. Ed Davis also figures to see extra minutes with the second unit.
Feb 6, 2020
Plays just nine minutes in loss
Bradley finished with just three rebounds in nine minutes during Wednesday's 98-95 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
After missing the two previous games with a knee concern, Bradley was back on the floor Wednesday. He has played no more than 17 minutes in 25 consecutive games, coming off the bench behind one of the best centers in the league in Rudy Gobert. If Gobert were to ever suffer an injury that forced him to miss multiple games, Bradley could find himself as a potential 12-team asset. However, until that happens, he can be left on the waivers in almost every format.
Feb 4, 2020
Not on injury report
Bradley (knee) is absent from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Bradley has been sidelined for the previous two games, but he is apparently good to go Wednesday. Look for him to take on his usual role providing depth at center.
Feb 1, 2020
Won't play Saturday
Bradley (knee) is out for Saturday's game against Portland, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley will miss his second-straight contest due to the issue. He'll hope to return at home Wednesday against the Nuggets.
Jan 31, 2020
Questionable for Saturday
Bradley (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against Portland, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley missed Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to a right knee sprain, and his availability remains in question heading into Saturday's tilt. Expect clarification closer to tipoff.
Jan 30, 2020
Ruled out Thursday
Bradley (knee) won't play Thursday against Denver.
ANALYSIS
Bradley will miss his team's upcoming matchup due to a right knee sprain. His next chance to return comes Saturday in Portland.
Jan 30, 2020
Questionable Thursday
Bradley is questionable for Thursday's contest against Denver due to a right knee sprain, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
It appears as though Bradley, who logged 10 minutes and posted four points against the Spurs on Wednesday, has emerged from the game with mild right knee pain. If the Jazz ultimately elect to keep their big-man sidelined for Thursday's slate, Ed Davis will presumably see an increased workload versus the Nuggets.
Jan 23, 2020
Ejected Wednesday
Bradley was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradley, who finished with three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 FT) and seven rebounds in 10 minutes, was ejected in the final seconds of Wednesday's game after exchanging words with Marquese Chriss. The ejection shouldn't have any lingering effects on Bradley's availability.
Jan 21, 2020
Grabs 10 boards
Bradley had eight points (4-5 FG), 10 rebounds and one steal in 17 minutes off the bench during Monday's 118-88 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Bradley is yet to log over 20 minutes in a game coming off the bench and while his playing time has been steady of late -- 13.3 minutes per game during his last 12 contests -- ultimately he is not playing or producing enough to become a relevant fantasy asset unless Rudy Gobert is forced to miss time.
Jan 9, 2020
Manages 12 points in blowout
Bradley amassed 12 points and seven rebounds in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 128-104 victory over New York.
ANALYSIS
Bradley, along with most of the second unit, enjoyed additional playing time Wednesday. The game quickly descended into garbage time, allowing the starters to cheer on from the bench. Bradley is a solid backup and had demonstrated the ability to be a relevant option when given a substantial role. At this stage, he would likely need an injury to Gobert before being considered a pickup.
Dec 16, 2019
Removed from injury report
Bradley (illness) is no longer on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Bradley has missed the last two matchups due to illness, but he'll be back on the court for Tuesday's game. He's seen limited action of late, averaging just 4.4 minutes over his last five contests.
