  • Adem Bona PF | PHI

    76ers' Adem Bona: Headed to bench

    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.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Upgraded to available

    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.

  • Tobias Harris PF | DET

    Pistons' Tobias Harris: Good to go Wednesday

    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.

  • Celtics' Amari Williams: Back with parent club

    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.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Available Wednesday

    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.

  • Max Shulga PG | BOS

    Celtics' Max Shulga: Back with parent club

    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.

  • Javonte Green SG | DET

    Pistons' Javonte Green: Will play Wednesday

    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.

  • Bulls' Guerschon Yabusele: Cleared to play Wednesday

    Yabusele (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

    Yabusele was held out of Monday's game against the Rockets due to a left ankle sprain. He was initially listed as doubtful for Wednesday's contest, but the veteran big man has progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to play against Philadelphia. Yabusele has scored in double digits in three of his last four outings while connecting on 57.1 percent of his field-goal attempts over that span.

  • Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Ruled out Wednesday

    Ayton (back) has been downgraded to out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.

    Ayton was a late addition to the Lakers' injury report Wednesday morning due to back soreness. The issue will prevent the veteran big man from suiting up, which will likely allow Jaxson Hayes and Jarred Vanderbilt to step into larger roles. Ayton's next chance to play will come Friday against Brooklyn.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Available to play

    Nembhard (calf) is available for Wednesday's meeting with the Lakers.

    Nembhard was listed as probable for Wednesday's game, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be available. The 26-year-old guard is averaging 17.1 points, 7.4 assists and 1.9 triples per game this season.
