NBA Player News

Dunn (coach's decision) didn't receive any playing time Tuesday in the Suns' 115-111 loss to the Magic.

With Grayson Allen (knee) and Dillon Brooks (hand) back in action after one- and 18-game absences, respectively, Dunn was bumped out of the rotation while head coach Jordan Ott went with Royce O'Neale and Rasheer Fleming as the team's backup forwards. Dunn had played at least 17 minutes in each of his last six appearances, averaging 8.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 three-pointers while shooting 59.5 percent from the field over that stretch.

Rollins (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Houston.

A right hip strain may keep Rollins out for the second leg of this back-to-back set, though it could be maintenance-related. Gary Trent and AJ Green could be very involved in the backcourt if Rollins is unavailable

Temple (shoulder) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday against the Kings.

The Raptors previously ruled Temple out, only to upgrade him 15 minutes later. Either way, he's mostly an emergency depth piece for the team.

Temple (shoulder) is out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Temple will be sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back set, but he's a fringe rotation player for the most part.

Embiid (illness) is officially listed as out on Philadelphia's injury report, but the superstar big man posted on X saying he was going to play Wednesday against the Wizards.

Embiid wasn't listed on the initial injury report, which dropped Tuesday, but he popped up Wednesday morning as out due to an illness. He played through an ailment Monday in Miami, posting 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes, so the downgrade was surprising. The 76ers have yet to officially upgrade Embiid, and fantasy managers should assume he won't play until that happens. Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com suggests that Embiid's post was a joke for April Fools' Day.

Shamet (knee) is available to play Wednesday against Memphis.

Shamet is set to return from a five-game absence. If Jalen Brunson (ankle) is unable to play, Shamet could take on a larger role than usual in the backcourt.

McBride (pelvis) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

After missing 28 straight contests, McBride has appeared in two straight games, totaling three points (1-12 FG), three assists, two rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes. However, despite the limited workload, McBride isn't going to push himself during the second night of a back-to-back set. In his absence, Jordan Clarkson and Jose Alvarado are candidates for increased roles, especially if Jalen Brunson (ankle), who's listed as questionable, gets ruled out.

Antetokounmpo (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against Houston.

The veteran forward will miss his fourth straight game and remains without a timetable to return. His next chance to play comes Friday against Boston.

Kuzma has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets due to right Achilles tendonopathy.

After missing four straight games, Kuzma returned to action Tuesday, posting 20 points (9-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 123-99 victory over the Mavericks. However, he'll take a seat for the second half of Milwaukee's back-to-back set. Given how shorthanded the Bucks are going to be Wednesday, Andre Jackson may see enough minutes to warrant streaming consideration.

Prince (neck) is out for Wednesday's game against Houston.

The veteran forward will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set. With this news, AJ Green and Gary Trent are likely to see increased reps.
