NBA Player News

Powell (back) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Magic.

Powell will continue to power through the back issue, although it seems like it's been impacting his play of late. Over the past three games, Powell has shot 15-for-47 from the floor for a total of 47 points.

Murray-Boyles (thumb) is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The rookie first-rounder is ready to put a four-game absence with a left thumb bruise behind him. With Jakob Poeltl (back) still out, Murray-Boyles should share the center minutes with Sandro Mamukelashvili. Over his past five outings, Murray-Boyles has averaged 12.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 33.3 minutes per game.

Mitchell (shoulder) won't suit up for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

This will be Mitchell's fourth consecutive game on the inactive list, and considering he still hasn't practiced, that number could hit five for Friday's game in Chicago. Dru Smith, Kasparas Jakucionis and Pelle Larsson will continue to pick up the slack while Mitchell and Tyler Herro (ribs) are out.

Walker (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Walker is available to play through a right foot bruise Wednesday, shedding a questionable designation. Over his last five appearances, the forward has averaged 15.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.0 steals in 27.5 minutes per game.

Brunson is questionable for Wednesday's game against Toronto with an illness, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Brunson was a very late addition to the injury report, boding poorly for his chances of playing. With Miles McBride already out with an ankle injury, Landry Shamet, Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson could all have extra opportunities in the New York backcourt.

Grimes (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings.

Grimes skipped Tuesday's win over the Bucks with the ankle injury and is now in danger of sitting out his second straight game. We'll have a better idea on Grimes' status following shootaround, but if he's forced to spend another game on the sidelines, that would translate to more minutes for Jared McCain and Justin Edwards.

George is probable for Thursday's game against the Kings due to left knee injury management.

George has been a mainstay on the 76ers' injury report throughout the year, but he remains on track to suit up Thursday. Over his last six appearances, the star forward has averaged 16.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.7 steals in 31.7 minutes per contest.

Embiid (knee) is probable to play Thursday against the Kings.

Embiid is on track to play Thursday, and we should get official confirmation on his status closer to Thursday's tip. The former MVP is averaging 25.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 triples and 1.1 blocks per game this season.

Vukcevic is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks with a left hamstring strain.

Thursday is the seventh consecutive absence for Vukcevic. Until the Wizards offer an update on his recovery, the big man can be deemed out indefinitely.

Bagley is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks due to a thoracic strain.

Bagley will be out for a fourth consecutive game, and a short turnaround looms Friday against the Lakers. With Tristan Vukcevic (hamstring) also sidelined, Anthony Gill should handle the No. 2 center job behind Alex Sarr (illness), but he wouldn't hold much fantasy utility in that role.
