Jones (concussion) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Jones has missed back-to-back games due to a concussion, but he has a chance to return Wednesday night. Julian Strawther has filled in for Jones in the starting lineup and would likely do so again if Jones can't play Wednesday.

Jokic (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Jokic has been a regular on the injury report of late due to a left ankle sprain, though he's expected to suit up for a seventh straight game. The three-time MVP has racked up three consecutive triple-doubles, averaging 24.7 points, 14.0 rebounds, 12.7 assists and 2.7 combined steals-plus-blocks per game during that stretch.

Murray is probable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to left hip inflammation.

Murray picked up a hip injury during Saturday's win over the Bulls, but it hasn't forced him to miss any additional action thus far. He should have a good chance to suit up Wednesday after being tagged as probable.

Holland (personal) is out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Holland will miss a second straight game for personal reasons. His absence could mean more opportunities for Isaiah Stewart or Javonte Green, though Stewart could be facing a suspension after taking part in a fight Monday against Charlotte. Wednesday's game is the Pistons' last before the All-Star break, making Holland's next chance to play Feb. 19 against the Knicks.

Walker (illness) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Walker is dealing with an illness and was an extremely late addition to the injury report. If he's unable to go Tuesday, Ben Sheppard, Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson would be candidates for increased playing time. Walker has averaged 15.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 27.8 minutes per contest over his last five games (two starts).

Barlow (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Barlow was a late addition to the injury report prior to Monday night's game against Portland, and he was ultimately downgraded to out. He's in jeopardy of missing a second straight game due to illness after being added to the injury report as questionable for Wednesday's clash.

Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Washington.

Wade will miss a third straight outing due to a left ankle sprain, and his next chance to play will come against Brooklyn on Feb. 19. With Evan Mobley (calf) and Wade both sidelined, Jaylon Tyson, Sam Merrill and Nae'Qwan Tomlin are candidates for increased playing time.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against New York.

Embiid was shut down Monday due to right knee injury management, so it appears the Sixers are simply trying to ensure he makes it to the All-Star break healthy. Philly should have another update to share on the big man's availability for the final game before the break closer to Wednesday's tipoff.

Grimes (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Grimes was out sick Monday against Portland, and the 25-year-old is at risk of missing a second straight game because of the illness. If he can't play Wednesday, Kyle Lowry could remain in the rotation and see a significant bump in playing time.

Mobley (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Mobley will miss his seventh consecutive contest due to a left calf strain, and his next opportunity to return to action will come against Brooklyn on Feb. 19. With Dean Wade (ankle) also sidelined, Jaylon Tyson, Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Sam Merrill are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.
