Washington suffered a head contusion during Saturday's game against Houston and will not return.

Washington was escorted back to the locker room by the medical staff with a towel over his head. He played 25 minutes before leaving the game for good, finishing with nine points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal. He can be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston until more information is known.

Bey recorded 34 points (12-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one turnover across 32 minutes of Saturday's 124-114 loss to the 76ers.

Bey was a bright spot in the loss, finishing with his second-best scoring total of the season -- he put up 36 points just over a week ago on Jan. 23. He's in the midst of a terrific campaign with averages of 16.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers across 44 appearances.

Williams suffered a right lower leg contusion Saturday against the Rockets and will not return, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Williams banged knees with Reed Sheppard and was hobbling pretty good. He was having a productive game prior to leaving, finishing with 13 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one turnover across nine minutes. Ryan Nembhard could pick up some minutes as a result.

Embiid logged 40 points (13-27 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks in 39 minutes of Saturday's 124-114 win over the Pelicans.

Embiid put up a season-high 40 points as he continues to light up the NBA. During the month of January, Embiid has averaged 29.7 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists across 14 appearances, with the 76ers winning 10 of those games -- in the three games without Embiid, the 76ers went 0-3.

Johnson recorded 32 points (12-29 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in Saturday's 129-124 loss to Indiana.

Johnson returned from a one-game absence after missing Thursday's game against the Rockets with a calf injury. He certainly seemed to be fine Saturday as he registered his eighth triple-double of the campaign. He remains on pace to return first-round fantasy numbers in nine-category formats in total value.

The Warriors announced Saturday that Curry (back) has progressed to on-court workouts and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Curry is still rehabbing from left sciatic nerve irritation and hasn't played since Dec. 4. The veteran swingman wasn't a regular part of the rotation before the injury, so he isn't guaranteed to see significant burn on a nightly basis once he returns. He's set to be re-evaluated during the All-Star break, so his next opportunity to play will come Feb. 19 against Boston.

The Warriors announced Saturday that Curry is day-to-day with his right knee soreness, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

An MRI confirmed the good news for Curry. His status for Tuesday's game against the 76ers remains in the air, so it's possible the Warriors could lean more on Brandin Podziemski and Pat Spencer in the short term.

Martin will come off the bench Saturday against the Rockets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

This is an expected move with Naji Marshall returning from a maintenance day. Martin fared well in a spot start Thursday against the Hornets with six points (2-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes.

Okogie won't start Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

With Tari Eason (leg) back in the lineup, Okogie will retreat to the bench. Over his last five appearances with the second unit, the 27-year-old wing has averaged 2.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 15.6 minutes per tilt.

Williams (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Williams is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest due to left knee injury management. If the big man is ultimately ruled out, Yang Hansen would likely see an uptick in playing time behind Donovan Clingan.
