Embiid was diagnosed Friday with swelling in his left knee and has been ruled out through Sunday's game against the Clippers before he receives further evaluation at some point next week, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Embiid had already missed the 76ers' first six games of the season due to left knee injury recovery, then served a three-game suspension before debuting Nov. 12. He appeared in just four games before succumbing to yet another left knee injury, and he looks like he'll have to miss at least two games as a result of the setback, as Embiid will sit out against the Clippers in addition to Friday's game against the Nets. After Sunday, the 76ers have two days off before returning to action Wednesday versus the Rockets. For whatever length of time Embiid is sidelined, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele will cover most of the minutes at center.

Jokic (personal) is available for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Jokic missed the Nuggets' last three games due to personal reasons, but he will be on the floor Friday. In the 10 regular-season games prior to his absence, Jokic averaged 29.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, 11.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks over 38.1 minutes per game.

Davis is probable for Saturday's game against the Nuggets due to left plantar fasciitis, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

It's become a trend to see Davis listed as probable only to be cleared and handle his regular workload on a regular basis. The star big man is enjoying an excellent start to the season. Over 14 games, he's averaged 31.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.2 steals.

Hayes (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Hayes suffered a left ankle sprain during practice last week, so it comes as no surprise that he won't suit up Saturday. His next chance to be available for the Lakers will be against the Suns on Tuesday.

Theis is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Warriors.

Theis will replace Yves Missi (shoulder) in the starting lineup Friday. Theis is averaging 4.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 blocks in 16.0 minutes across his previous five starting appearances.

Ayton (finger) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Ayton continues to deal with a right finger sprain and will miss a fifth straight contest Friday. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to suit up Saturday in the second half of his back-to-back set against the Rockets, but in the meantime, Donovan Clingan will remain as the starting center.

Kessler (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks.

Kessler has missed Utah's last six games with right hip bursitis, and the upgrade to questionable represents a step in the right direction. A decision on the big man's status will be made closer to the 5 p.m. ET tipoff Saturday. If he's out, John Collins should continue to start at center.

Filipowski (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Knicks.

Filipowski sprained his right ankle in Thursday's loss to the Spurs and won't play for the first time since the regular-season opener. With the rookie sidelined, Brice Sensabaugh and Drew Eubanks are candidates for an uptick in playing time. Filipowski's next chance to feature will come Tuesday against the Spurs.

Wembanyama (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Wembanyama is in danger of missing his fourth straight game due to a right knee contusion. If the 20-year-old big man is ruled out, Zach Collins will likely continue to receive the starting nod with Charles Bassey seeing an uptick in playing time off the bench.

Missi (shoulder) is out for Friday's game versus the Warriors.

Missi has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to left shoulder soreness. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Trey Jemison and Daniel Theis are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Missi's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Indiana.
