Ricky Council IV

Ricky Council IV (knee) is listed as questionable to play in Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Fantasy Impact

Council is at risk of missing Monday's game. He's listed as questionable to play right now, although it's unclear if he's trending in one direction or the other. His absence would mean more work for Caleb Martin moving forward.

Ricky Council IV totaled six points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3PT), one rebound, and one steal in the Sixers’ 121-108 win over the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact

The undrafted rookie out of Arkansas “checked in” and could be doing so more frequently as the Sixers look to repair and rebuild after a rough start to their season. In games where he’s played more than 20.0 minutes, Council has averaged 14.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals while shooting an impressive 53.8 percent from the floor. While he may not bring the star upside Jared McCain offered, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Sixers uncovered yet another “gem” in Council. They’ve developed a knack for putting young talent in high-pressure situations and unlocking their potential early. If the Sixers respond and deploy him with confidence, Council could quickly become an intriguing asset to monitor in both season-long and DFS formats as the season unfolds.

The Philadelphia 76ers are converting two-way G/F Ricky Council IV on a new four-year, $7.4 million NBA contract.

Fantasy Impact

Council has averaged 5.7 points in 9.3 minutes over 30 games. He should remain in a very limited role in the playoffs for the 76ers.
