76ers' Jalen Hood-Schifino: Finishes season in significant role
Rotowire
Hood-Schifino posted seven points (2-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 122-102 loss to the Bulls.
Significant injuries to Tyrese Maxey (finger), Jared McCain (knee) and Eric Gordon (wrist) allowed Hood-Schifino to play meaningful minutes down the stretch of the season. Over 13 games with Philadelphia, Hood-Schifino averaged 7.8 points, 2.8 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 0.5 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 23.2 minutes. Hood-Schifino has a two-way contract with Philadelphia, but he may not see as much playing time on a healthier 76ers team if he sticks around with the organization for next season.

76ers' Jalen Hood-Schifino: Notches 18 points
Rotowire
Hood-Schifino finished Sunday's 127-109 loss to the Raptors with 18 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes.
The 76ers are likely to remain very shorthanded for the last couple of weeks of the season due to injuries and maintenance, making Hood-Schifino a player to monitor closely. He's been pretty quiet prior to this outburst, however, as he's averaging 9.3 points, 2.6 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers on 41.0 percent shooting across eight March appearances.

76ers' Jalen Hood-Schifino: Available to play
Rotowire
Hood-Schifino (illness) is available for Saturday's game versus Miami but may not see the floor, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Head coach Nick Nurse said Hood-Schifino will be available if he calls his name, but he will proceed with caution given his eligibility concerns -- he's on a two-way contract with the 76ers and the team hasn't decided which games he'll see action in.

76ers' Jalen Hood-Schifino: Iffy for Saturday
Rotowire
Hood-Schifino (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Hood-Schifino is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to an illness. The 21-year-old is eligible to play in seven of the club's last nine regular-season games while signed to a two-way contract. If Hood-Schifino remains on the shelf Saturday, Jared Butler and Lonnie Walker (neck) are candidates to see a bump in minutes.

76ers' Jalen Hood-Schifino: Inactive Sunday
Rotowire
Hood-Schifino (coach's decision) will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
With Philadelphia being ravaged by injuries, Hood-Schifino has made five straight appearances, averaging 9.0 points, 2.8 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 24.2 minutes per game. Hood-Schifino can be active for just eight of the 76ers' remaining games this season while he's signed to a two-way deal, so Philadelphia is seemingly keeping him inactive Sunday to preserve his games count. After Sunday, the 76ers will have just 11 games remaining on the season, so Hood-Schifino should be available for the majority of those contests.

Rotowire
Hood-Schifino produced 19 points (6-11 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 23 minutes during Sunday's 130-125 win over the Mavericks.
Hood-Schifino put together his best outing of the season Sunday, shining off the bench by posting a team- and season-high number of made threes and coming up one point short of the 20-point mark.

76ers' Jalen Hood-Schifino: Drops 30 points in G League win
Rotowire
Hood-Schifino contributed 30 points (12-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists and two rebounds across 26 minutes during Thursday's 126-122 G League win over the College Park Skyhawks.
Hood-Schifino posted his second consecutive contest with 30 or more points over three G League outings with the Blue Coats. The 21-year-old signed a two-way deal with the Sixers in late February, though he has yet to debut for the parent club. However, the Sixers are dealing with a litany of injuries, which could result in Hood-Schifino receiving minutes at the NBA level.

76ers' Jalen Hood-Schifino: Inks two-way deal with Philadelphia
Rotowire
The 76ers signed Hood-Schifino to a two-way contract Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Hood-Schifino was waived by the Jazz on Feb. 6 after being traded by the Lakers as part of the three-way deal that saw Anthony Davis go to the Mavericks and Luka Doncic being sent to the Lakers. When he was with the Lakers, Hood-Schifino appeared in only two games due to a hamstring injury, but he has a chance to see some minutes in a rotational role with the 76ers.
The Jazz waived Hood-Schifino on Thursday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
The Jazz are also waiving Josh Richardson, but they will hold onto KJ Martin. Hood-Schifino, who made just two appearances this season due to a left hamstring injury, could draw interest on the open market for teams looking to give the No. 17 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft another chance.
Hood-Schifino (not with team) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Golden State.
Hood-Schifino will remain on the shelf after the Jazz acquired him via trade Saturday. The 21-year-old hasn't played at the NBA level since Dec. 1 due to a left hamstring strain, though the fact he is not listed on the injury report with the hamstring injury suggests that he could return to action as soon as Friday's matchup against the Suns.
