Johnson is questionable for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia due to a right foot sprain.

After just coming back from a multi-game layoff, Johnson continues to deal with lingering effects of the sprain. If the rookie first-rounder cannot suit up Wednesday, Bub Carrington, Jaden Hardy and Sharife Cooper should all help pick up the slack from a minutes perspective.

Embiid (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Embiid was under the weather during Monday's loss to the Heat, when he posted 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes. However, the illness won't cause him to miss Wednesday's contest. The star big man has appeared in three straight outings, averaging 30.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in 32.7 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Sarr (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

Sarr was also listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Lakers before ultimately being downgraded to out, so it seems he's closing in on a return. The Wizards should have more to share on his status as tipoff approaches.

Coulibaly (heel) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

Coulibaly is in danger of missing a second consecutive game with a lingering heel injury. If the swingman cannot play Wednesday, more playing time would be available to Justin Champagnie, Leaky Black and Jamir Watkins.

Landale (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Landale is in danger of missing his second consecutive matchup due to illness. The team should have a clearer idea of his availability closer to tipoff.

Wiggins (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics.

Wiggins recently returned from an extended absence with a toe issue, which appears not to be fully behind him quite yet. If the veteran forward cannot suit up Wednesday, Pelle Larsson would be worthy of streaming consideration in all fantasy leagues and Simone Fontecchio in deeper formats.

Powell (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Powell continues to battle an illness that will sideline him for a third straight contest. His next chance to return will be Saturday against the Wizards.

Queta (thumb) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against Miami, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

After sitting out Monday's loss to the Hawks with a thumb injury, Queta is ready to get back into the lineup Wednesday and will likely push Luka Garza to the bench. Queta has averaged 11.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 27.9 minutes per contest across his last eight games, shooting 69.1 percent from the field during this stretch.

Harper (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Harper remains day-to-day after missing Monday's game against Atlanta. His status doesn't carry much weight in fantasy hoops, however.

Tatum (Achilles) is available for Wednesday against Miami, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

As expected, Tatum has the green light to return after getting a maintenance day against the Hawks on Monday. He's averaging 25.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists over his last three outings.
