Embiid (oblique) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

Embiid hasn't taken the court since Feb. 26 after picking up a right oblique strain. However, he's been back on the court recently to get work in and was scheduled to complete a more intensive workout Tuesday, per Austin Krell of OnPattison.com, so it appears he's getting closer to a return. The team should have an update on his status for Wednesday closer to game time.

Grimes is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls with an illness.

After missing Monday's loss to the Thunder, Grimes is looking to keep his absence to a one-game minimum. The swingman was already slated for a diminished role, with Paul George returning from a suspension Wednesday, but Justin Edwards and Trendon Watford could still see more playing time if Grimes is ruled out.

Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Detroit.

Johnson is in danger of missing his third straight matchup due to left shoulder inflammation. He'll presumably need to prove his health during shootaround and pregame warmups to gain clearance to take the court Wednesday.

Moody was diagnosed Tuesday with a torn patellar tendon in his left knee following an MRI, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. He's expected to undergo season-ending surgery in the near future.

The Warriors aren't likely to provide a timeline for Moody to return to the court until surgery is performed, but Joey Akeley of SI.com relays that surgery to address patellar tendon tears typically entail a 9-to-12-month recovery. With that in mind, Moody looks to be in danger of not only missing the remainder of the current season, but also a large chunk of the 2026-27 campaign. The knee injury brings an early end to what had been shaping up to be a career-best season for the fifth-year swingman, who averaged a career-high 12.1 points to go with 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 triples, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.7 minutes per game. With Moody out of commission, the Warriors are likely to lean more heavily on De'Anthony Melton, Gary Payton and Will Richard on the wing for the remainder of the campaign.

Curry (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Nets, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Curry, who has been sidelined since the start of February, remains without a clear target date to return. Slater reports that Curry is hopeful to get in a scrimmage in the near future to see how his knee responds, and that should be the final hurdle in his rehab.

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

A left ankle sprain is likely to result in a second consecutive absence for Yabusele. Nick Richards figures to continue to start in the frontcourt alongside Jalen Smith on Wednesday.

Okoro (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

It appears as though Okoro will be sidelined for an eighth straight game Wednesday. If that's the case, Leonard Miller will likely continue to see sizable workloads for the Bulls.

Simons is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers with a fractured left wrist.

It doesn't appear Simons, who has been sidelined since Feb. 21, is quite yet ready to return to the floor. His expected absence should continue to allow Tre Jones to play a prominent role in the Chicago backcourt Wednesday.

Ivey (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Ivey, who was questionable for Chicago's last contest before getting ruled out, won't even draw a questionable tag this time around. His next chance to return comes Friday against the Thunder.

Jackson (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Monday's 128-126 win over the Magic.

During Monday's contest, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle deviated from his recent approach and ran a more streamlined nine-man rotation while handing three of the team's established starters (Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith) 30-plus minutes apiece. As a result, Jackson and Kobe Brown were squeezed out of the rotation, but both should be able to reclaim roles before long. The 16-56 Pacers have little at stake beyond draft position over their final 10 games, which likely means that players like Siakam, Nembhard and Nesmith could be rested frequently and/or have their minutes pulled back. Aside from missing two contests due to a hamstring injury, Jackson had appeared in each of the Pacers' other nine games in March prior to Monday and averaged 6.4 points, 3.4 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 17.8 minutes.
