Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Washington.

Wade will miss a third straight outing due to a left ankle sprain, and his next chance to play will come against Brooklyn on Feb. 19. With Evan Mobley (calf) and Wade both sidelined, Jaylon Tyson, Sam Merrill and Nae'Qwan Tomlin are candidates for increased playing time.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against New York.

Embiid was shut down Monday due to right knee injury management, so it appears the Sixers are simply trying to ensure he makes it to the All-Star break healthy. Philly should have another update to share on the big man's availability for the final game before the break closer to Wednesday's tipoff.

Grimes (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Grimes was out sick Monday against Portland, and the 25-year-old is at risk of missing a second straight game because of the illness. If he can't play Wednesday, Kyle Lowry could remain in the rotation and see a significant bump in playing time.

Mobley (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Mobley will miss his seventh consecutive contest due to a left calf strain, and his next opportunity to return to action will come against Brooklyn on Feb. 19. With Dean Wade (ankle) also sidelined, Jaylon Tyson, Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Sam Merrill are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Risacher is questionable for Wednesday's game against Charlotte due to a left quadriceps contusion.

Risacher has played in five straight games since returning from a knee injury, but he evidently picked up a left quad injury at some point over his previous few appearances. He'll presumably be re-evaluated at some point before Wednesday's tipoff to determine whether he can take the floor.

Johnson (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Johnson sat out Monday's game due to left knee inflammation, and he's now expected to be a game-time call for Wednesday. He'll likely need to prove his health during shootaround and warmups before receiving the green light to return.

Daniels (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Daniels missed Monday's matchup with the Timberwolves while tending to a right ankle issue, and he's now in danger of missing a second game. The team should have another update to share closer to tipoff.

McNeeley (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

McNeeley will miss another game while dealing with a left ankle sprain. He'll need to wait at least until after the All-Star break to return to the court for Charlotte.

Hardy (rest) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Hardy is available for the first time since being traded from Dallas to Washington, though it's unclear how large a role, if any, he'll play for his new team. Keep an eye out for an update on Kyshawn George (ankle) and Bilal Coulibaly (heel) closer to tipoff, as both are listed as questionable. If one, or both, are sidelined, Hardy could be tasked with a sizable role.

Johnson (ankle) is available to play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

After missing the past six games for Washington, Johnson is set to return for the final game before the All-Star break. With how cautious the Wizards have been, it's fair to expect heavy restrictions for his first game back.
