Edwards is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Paul George is back from suspension Wednesday, pushing Edwards to the bench. Wednesday breaks up a string of seven consecutive starts for Edwards, who should still see meaningful playing time in the absence of Kelly Oubre (elbow).

Hayes is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Pacers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Hayes will get a spot-start with Deandre Ayton (back) unavailable, and it'll be Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, LeBron James and Jake LaRavia joining Hayes in the first unit for Wednesday's game. Through eight starts this season, Hayes has posted averages of 11.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Beauchamp will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Beauchamp made his first start since the 2023-24 season Monday, playing 32 minutes and logging 13 points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals. The two-way wing will revert to his bench role now that Quentin Grimes (illness) is healthy and Paul George's suspension is over.

Bona will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Joel Embiid (oblique) is back and starting, so Bona will retreat to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Bona owns averages of 4.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.

Embiid (oblique) will play in Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid will return from a 13-game absence due to a strained right oblique. His return will mean fewer opportunities for Adem Bona and Andre Drummond. However, per Aaronson, Nick Nurse said Wednesday that the 76ers likely won't "go overboard" with Embiid's minutes.

Harris (hip) is listed as available for Wenesday's game against the Hawks.

Harris was initially labeled probable, so his availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. The veteran forward had been tending to soreness in his left hip.

The Celtics recalled Williams from the G League's Maine Celtics on Wednesday.

Williams has rejoined Boston ahead of Wednesday's game against the Thunder, but he's unlikely to be featured in the rotation. The rookie second-round pick saw extended run Tuesday in Maine's 130-105 win over the Cleveland Charge, finishing with 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds, four blocks and one assist in 27 minutes.

Duren (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Despite being a late addition to the injury report, Duren is playing through knee soreness Wednesday. The All-Star big man has recorded six double-doubles in the past seven games, during which Duren has averaged 23.9 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 27.1 minutes per contest while shooting a potent 70.9 percent from the floor.

The Celtics recalled Shulga from the G League's Maine Celtics on Wednesday.

Shulga has rejoined Boston ahead of Wednesday's game against the Thunder, but he's unlikely to be featured in the rotation. The rookie second-round pick saw extended run Tuesday in Maine's 130-105 win over the Cleveland Charge, finishing with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, one rebound and one steal.

Green (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Green popped up on Tuesday's injury report due to a left ankle sprain, but the veteran guard has been given the green to play against Atlanta on Wednesday. He has averaged 7.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 threes and 1.2 steals over 15.8 minutes across 13 games (one start) since March 1.
