Watson exited Wednesday's 130-117 win over the Jazz in the second quarter and did not return due to right hamstring tightness, finishing with six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three rebounds across nine minutes.

Watson checked out with 7:03 remaining in the first half and never checked back in. The fourth-year forward recently missed 19 straight games due to a right hamstring strain, so the team may have been exercising caution with him. Watson's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Spurs.

Vukcevic logged 17 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 153-131 loss to the 76ers.

Vukcevic played just 11 minutes despite being in the Wizards' starting lineup and not being in foul trouble. Regardless, he connected on all but one of his field-goal attempts (including all three of his three-point tries) to finished tied with Justin Champagnie as the Wizards' third-leading scorer behind Anthony Gill (21 points) and Will Riley (18 points). Vukcevic has started in each of Washington's last three games and should retain that role for as long as Alex Sarr (toe) is sidelined.

Gill provided 21 points (8-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and six assists over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 153-131 loss to the 76ers.

Gill got a bit of an extended run in the second half of Wednesday's blowout game. He took advantage of the extra playing time to finish as the Wizards' leading scorer with a career-high 21 points and was also second in both assists and rebounds. Gill has scored in double digits in five of his last seven outings, and over that span he has averaged 13.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals over 28.7 minutes per game. He'll continue to see more run in games when Alex Sarr (toe) does not play.

Edgecombe closed Wednesday's 153-131 win over Washington with 23 points (10-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and 10 assists over 33 minutes.

Edgecombe scored 14 of his 23 points in the second half to finish as the Sixers' third-leading scorer behind Paul George (39 points) and Tyrese Maxey (28 points). Edgecombe served more as a facilitator during Wednesday's victory and was one dime shy from tying a career high in assists en route to his seventh double-double of the season (and third in nine games since March 15). Since the All-Star break, the first-round rookie has averaged 19.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.2 threes and 1.2 steals over 33.2 minutes per game.

Maxey provided 28 points (12-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 153-131 victory over the Wizards.

Maxey didn't have the most efficient night from three-point range, but he was scoring effectively inside the arc and finished as the 76ers' second-leading scorer behind Paul George (39 points). Maxey was one assist shy from logging his eighth double-double of the season (and first since Feb. 26), but he has dished out at least eight dimes in each of his three outings since returning from a 10-game absence due to a finger injury. Since his return, the two-time All-Star has averaged 25.7 points, 8.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 2.0 threes over 40.3 minutes per game.

Sengun (back) returned to Wednesday's game against the Bucks with 2:05 remaining in the fourth quarter, per the broadcast.

Sengun exited to the locker room earlier in the fourth after appearing to tweak his lower back. However, he returned to the bench shortly thereafter before checking back in.

Hardaway is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to left knee soreness.

Hardaway logged just over 10 minutes in the first half before checking out with 8:40 remaining in the second quarter. If he's unable to return, he'll finish with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound.

Watson is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to right hamstring tightness.

Watson logged just over nine minutes in the first half before checking out with 7:03 remaining in the second quarter. If he's unable to return, he'll finish with six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three rebounds.

Sengun exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to an apparent lower-back issue, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Sengun appeared to tweak his lower back before exiting to the locker room with 8:33 remaining in the final quarter. The star big man can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Williams will start Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

With the Warriors being very shorthanded in the first leg of this back-to-back set, the two-way player will make his first start since the 2022-23 campaign with Portland. He's averaging 6.2 points and 1.8 rebounds across 13.3 minutes per tilt in 11 regular-season games thus far, though he should see a significant uptick in minutes against San Antonio.
