NBA Player News

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.

Sarr (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Sarr was unable to practice Wednesday and may end up being a game-time decision. Marvin Bagley (back) remains out for the Wizards, so the team could give Skal Labissiere a look after he signed a 10-day contract Wednesday.

Kuzma (quadricep) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Kuzma left Tuesday's 139-122 loss to the 76ers due to a left quadricep cramp, but the issue has proven to be of minimal concern. The 30-year-old forward has started four consecutive games, during which Kuzma has averaged 11.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 31.4 minutes per contest. He should continue to handle increased usage due to Giannis Antetokounmpo's (calf) future in Milwaukee being uncertain.

Westbrook is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers with right foot soreness.

This is a new injury for Westbrook, and with Thursday's game being the front end of a back-to-back set, the Kings may use a maintenance day for the veteran guard. Dennis Schroder, Keon Ellis and Nique Clifford would be candidates to soak up minutes if Westbrook is unable to shake his questionable tag.
