Embiid (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid has played in two of the 76ers' last three games, but he's iffy to play Sunday due to left knee injury management. Guerschon Yabusele is on track to return from a one-game absence due to right knee soreness, and he and Andre Drummond would see an uptick in playing time if Embiid is held out of Sunday's contest.

Davis is doubtful to return for Saturday's game against the Rockets due to a lower-body injury.

Cleared to make his Mavericks debut Saturday after having not played since Jan. 28 due to an abdominal strain, Davis appeared to suffer an aggravation of the injury in the third quarter. The Mavericks will provide more details on Davis' condition after the game, but his early exit puts a damper on what had been an impressive team debut. Prior to his departure, the superstar big man racked up 26 points (10-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks in 31 minutes.

Poeltl (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Poeltl will be sidelined for a third straight game due to a right hip pointer. Jonathan Mogbo got the start at center against the Thunder on Friday, and he should retain that role due to Poeltl's absence. Poeltl's next opportunity to play will be Tuesday against the 76ers.

Davis (abdomen/groin) went to the locker room late in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Rockets, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.

Davis had been dealing with an abdominal muscle strain prior to being traded to Dallas on Saturday. He was cleared to play Saturday, but he went down late in the third quarter and appeared to be grabbing his abdominal/groin area. He quickly went to the locker room after being subbed out of the game, and it's unclear whether he'll be cleared to return. With P.J. Washington (ankle) ruled out for the rest of the contest, Naji Marshall and Olivier-Maxence Prosper should see increased minutes off the bench for as long as Davis is out of the game.

Kessler (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Kessler is not playing Saturday due to a left shoulder contusion, which he likely picked up during Friday's overtime loss to the Suns. Rookie second-round pick Kyle Filipowski will likely be inserted into the Jazz's starting five due to Kessler's injury. Kessler's next opportunity to play will be Monday against the Lakers.

Collins (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Collins put up a 21-point performance during Utah's overtime loss to Phoenix on Friday, and he will not play in the second leg of the Jazz's back-to-back Saturday. Micah Potter, Brice Sensabaugh and Johnny Juzang should all see a significant increase in playing time due to the absences of Collins, Lauri Markkanen (back) and Walker Kessler (shoulder). Collins should be able to return for Monday's game against the Lakers.

Bryant is in the Pacers' starting lineup against the Lakers on Saturday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Bryant will make his third start of the year Saturday due to the absence of Myles Turner (neck). With Turner out and Bryant starting, Obi Toppin and Enrique Freeman could see some playing time at center when the Pacers go with a small-ball lineup. Bryant finished Thursday's 119-112 win over the Clippers with 12 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and one block over 28 minutes.

Bagley (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Bagley was traded by the Wizards to the Grizzlies on Thursday, but he hasn't played since Dec. 23 due to a right knee sprain. His next opportunity to see the floor will be Tuesday against the Suns, though there isn't a clear timeline for his return.

Williams (trade pending) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Packers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Williams was traded by the Hornets to the Lakers on Thursday, but he will not be able to make his debut with his new team Saturday as the trade is still pending, per Khobi Price of The Orange County Register. Jaxson Hayes should continue to start for the Lakers until Williams is officially cleared to make his debut, and his next opportunity to do so is Monday against the Jazz.

Turner, who has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Lakers, is considered day-to-day moving forward due to a cervical strain, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Turner was checked for a concussion after leaving in the first quarter of Thursday's win over the Clippers, but he's no longer in the protocol and is instead tending to a neck injury. Thomas Bryant and Obi Toppin are expected to cover most of the minutes at center for the Pacers on Saturday in Turner's absence.
