Huff (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Huff will miss a third consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. His next opportunity to suit up comes Thursday against the Raptors.

Davis (elbow) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis was able to play through a left elbow contusion in Saturday's 103-99 win over the Kings, and he finished with 10 points, 15 rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 37 minutes. If Davis is unable to play Monday, that would give Christian Koloko a chance to make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season.

Zeller (personal) is out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Zeller continues to be away from the team due to personal reasons. His next chance to suit up comes Thursday against the Bulls.

Sabonis (ankle) is available to play Sunday against the Pacers.

Sabonis was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's game due to a sprained left ankle, but the veteran center has been cleared to play. Over his last 10 games, Sabonis has averaged 22.8 points, 14.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists over 35.7 minutes per game.

Williams (foot) is off the injury report ahead of Monday's game against Houston.

Williams did not play Friday against the 76ers due to left foot injury management, but it appears he will be available for Monday's game. Over his last three games, Williams has averaged 12.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 blocks over 17.7 minutes per contest.

Embiid (rest) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Spurs.

Embiid is expected to suit up Monday after he was held out of Saturday's loss to Cleveland due to rest. The big man has appeared in only three games during December due to a sinus fracture and a left knee injury, during which he has averaged 25.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.3 blocks across 27.0 minutes per contest.

Wagner was diagnosed Sunday with a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee following an MRI, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Wagner went down with a non-contact knee injury after playing only two minutes in Saturday's win over Miami. With his MRI revealing ligament damage to his knee, the big man will soon head in for surgery and spend the rest of the season recovering. After re-signing with Orlando over the summer on a one-year, $11 million deal that includes an $11 million team option for 2025-26, the 27-year-old appeared in 30 games and averaged a career-high 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks across 18.8 minutes per game. Wagner's absence for the rest of the season could result in Jonathan Isaac logging more time at center when Goga Bitadze and Wendell Carter are off the court.

Theis (personal/conditioning) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Theis will return to action following a two-game absence due to personal reasons. The big man has been a mainstay on the injury report in December, and in only four outings, he has averaged 3.0 points and 2.5 rebounds across 12.0 minutes per contest.

Sabonis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Sabonis is in jeopardy of missing his first game since Nov. 18 due to a sprained left ankle. With Trey Lyles (calf) also questionable, Isaac Jones and Alex Len are candidates for an uptick in playing time if either Lyles or Sabonis is sidelined. Over his last five outings, the star big man has averaged 23.2 points, 15.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals across 35.6 minutes per contest.

Vucevic accumulated 19 points (8-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 123-98 loss to Boston.

It's the second straight double-double for Vucevic, and his 17th of the season in 28 games. The veteran center has kept his potential trade value high, scoring in double digits in 14 straight appearances and averaging 21.6 points, 9.8 boards, 3.4 assists, 2.4 threes, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks over that stretch while shooting 57.5 percent from the floor and 47.9 percent (34-for-71) from beyond the arc.
