Edgecombe won't return to Tuesday's game against San Antonio due to lower back soreness, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports. He'll finish the night with six points (2-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 20 minutes.

Edgecombe will likely be re-evaluated within the next day or so to determine his availability moving forward. The Sixers were already shorthanded without Joel Embiid (oblique) and Kelly Oubre (illness), so it'll be up to Quentin Grimes, Cameron Payne, Jabari Walker and Justin Edwards to eat up minutes in the second half.

Allen (knee) exited with 7:32 remaining in the third quarter of Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons and didn't return. He finished with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes.

Allen injured his right knee midway through the third quarter and was listed as doubtful to return. The severity of the injury won't be known until Allen is further evaluated, though the big man will have until Sunday's game against the Celtics to recover. If he's forced to miss time, Evan Mobley would likely slide over to center, and backup big man Thomas Bryant could see a bump in minutes.

Barlow (undisclosed) has checked back in to Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Barlow went to the locker room during the first quarter after picking up an undisclosed injury, but he's since been cleared by the medical staff to return. He shouldn't face any limitations the rest of the way.

Allen is doubtful to return to Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to a right knee injury, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

Allen checked out of Tuesday's contest with 7:32 remaining in the third quarter and is unlikely to return. If the big man is unable to check back in, Thomas Bryant will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Barlow exited to the locker room during the first quarter of Tuesday's game against the Spurs with an undisclosed injury, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Barlow was spotted walking down the tunnel to the locker room after picking up his second foul. The nature of his injury is unclear at this time. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Zubac (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Zubac has yet to make his Pacers debut due to a left ankle sprain, and the team has yet to provide a clear timetable for his return to action. The big man should be considered doubtful for future contests until Indiana offers an update on his progress.

Toppin is probable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to a right foot injury.

This appears to be a precautionary listing by the Pacers, as Toppin recently returned to the court after missing a good chunk of the season while dealing with a stress fracture in his right foot. He's logged eight and 11 minutes in his first two games back, and he'll likely be in line for a similar workload Wednesday, assuming he's upgraded to available before tipoff.

Ball (undisclosed) returned to Tuesday's game against the Mavericks with 3:35 remaining in the second quarter, per the broadcast.

It's unclear why Ball exited to the locker room with the training staff earlier in the second. However, he quickly returned to the bench and was cleared to check back in.

Nesmith (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Nesmith hasn't taken the court since Feb. 19 due to a right ankle sprain, but the fact that he's been upgraded to questionable is a sign he's trending in the right direction. He should have a chance to take the court Wednesday if he fares well in morning shootaround and warmups.

Siakam (wrist) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Siakam has missed Indiana's last three games due to a left wrist sprain, though there's a chance he will return Wednesday. If the star forward is cleared to play, there would be fewer minutes available for the likes of Kobe Brown and Micah Potter.
