Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (oblique) will return to action on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. He has received the green light to return from a 13-game absence. The 76ers will also have
Paul George back in the lineup, and the two should do plenty of damage against a weak defense.
Adem Bona and
Andre Drummond must settle for lesser roles with Embiid back in the mix.

Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports that Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward
Quentin Grimes (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls after missing Monday's loss to Oklahoma City due to an illness. The 25-year-old has started each of his last 11 appearances, but with
Paul George returning tonight after serving a lengthy suspension, his role from here on out is uncertain.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward
Jordan Miller (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Miller has been healthy throughout most of the season, but he will sit out tonight's contest due to back soreness. His next chance to suit up is Friday against the Pacers. The 26-year-old is averaging 9.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.2 assists across 21.6 minutes per game this season. Fellow forward
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) could also sit out as he is carrying a questionable tag ahead of tonight's matchup.
Bennedict Mathurin (toe),
John Collins (ankle) and
Kobe Sanders could be asked to play bigger roles if Leonard is also unable to play.

Washington Wizards forward/center
Tristan Vukcevic (back) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. Vukcevic did not return to Sunday's game against the New York Knicks after experiencing lower-back tightness and the same issue will keep him out of tonight's contest.
Alexandre Sarr (toe) is also out, so
Anthony Gill could see deeper rotation minutes after collecting 18 points, five rebounds, and three steals across 26 minutes on Sunday.

March 25, 2026
Washington Wizards guard/forward
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) will play on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Coulibaly was previously listed as questionable with a heel injury, but he has since been cleared to play. The 21-year-old was out for two games in mid-March, but since then he's collected 34 points, nine rebounds, six assists, four steals and four blocks across 40 minutes in his past two outings. If his minutes are restricted this evening,
Will Riley and
Jaden Hardy will likely see extended minutes on the floor.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward
Cedric Coward (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's clash against the San Antonio Spurs. He has missed three games for personal reasons. With
Ty Jerome (ankle) and
Jaylen Wells (toe) exiting the lineup on Wednesday, Coward could take on one of the leading roles on offense, though this is an extremely difficult matchup for the Grizzlies. The Spurs have the third-best defensive rating in the league, with
Victor Wembanyama protecting the paint. Coward managed only nine points on 3-for-14 shooting in his last meeting with San Antonio.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward
Jaylen Wells (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's meeting with the San Antonio Spurs. He injured his right big toe in Monday's blowout loss to Atlanta and won't be part of the Grizzlies' lineup for only the third time this season.
Cedric Coward (personal) will return on Wednesday, helping to fill in for Wells. Some of his minutes could also go to
Tyler Burton and
DeJon Jarreau. Burton has recently jumped onto fantasy radars with two 20-point efforts in three games.

March 25, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies point guard
Ty Jerome (ankle) won't suit up on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Jerome has rarely played in back-to-back contests and won't be part of the lineup on Wednesday night after a 17-point, four-assist effort in Monday's loss to Atlanta. His absence will open up a spot in the starting lineup and provide more playing opportunities for the rest of the backcourt.
Walter Clayton Jr.,
Cam Spencer, and
Javon Small (back) are all candidates for increased playing time, though the latter carries a questionable tag on the injury report.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 25, 2026
Utah Jazz forward
Brice Sensabaugh (rest) won't play on Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. The 22-year-old battled an illness last week but returned from a two-game absence on Monday against Toronto, finishing with 24 points. Sensabaugh has scored at least 20 points in six straight outings, averaging 21.4 points per game in March. However, he won't be unleashed against Washington's awful defense.
John Konchar and
Bez Mbeng could pick up extra work on Wednesday night, especially if
Cody Williams (shoulder) also isn't in the lineup.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 25, 2026
Utah Jazz forward/center
Kyle Filipowski (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Centers have consistently dominated the Wizards, but Filipowski will likely miss this chance due to illness. His absence would open up playing time for
Oscar Tshiebwe,
Kevin Love, and
Blake Hinson. Tshiebwe is the likeliest candidate to take over the starting center spot and has picked up momentum from Monday's loss to Toronto. In 28 minutes off the bench, Tshiebwe had a busy night, finishing with 16 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocks.

March 25, 2026
Toronto Raptors center
Jakob Poeltl (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. On Monday, he didn't play in the second leg of a back-to-back against Utah due to lower back injury management. It's an issue that has bothered Poeltl all season, but he's sat out only three games since returning from a seven-week absence in mid-February.
Sandro Mamukelashvili started on Monday, and
Collin Murray-Boyles was back in the lineup after missing 11 games due to a thumb injury. Mamukelashvili had a great game with 23 points and five steals, and the Raptors are likely to keep him in the first unit if Poeltl can't play on Wednesday night.

March 25, 2026
Toronto Raptors point guard
Immanuel Quickley (foot) is considered questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. The team has him listed on the injury report with right foot plantar fasciitis. Quickley's absence on Wednesday could give
Jamal Shead a second consecutive start. In a starting role, Shead has played well all season and delivered a career-high 15 assists in Monday's 143-127 win over Utah. He will face a much tougher opponent on Wednesday night, but Shead should see plenty of time on the floor if Quickley is out.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Brandon Clarke (calf) won't return to action this season, the team announced. The 29-year-old suffered a right calf strain in December and will finish the season with only two appearances. Clarke was unavailable before December due to offseason knee surgery. Memphis expects Clarke to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season. With
Zach Edey (ankle, elbow) also out for the rest of the campaign,
GG Jackson II,
Olivier-Maxence Prosper, and
Taylor Hendricks will get plenty of work in the frontcourt.

March 24, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies point guard
Ja Morant (elbow) will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, the team announced. The star guard has been on the shelf since late January with a left elbow injury. According to the Grizzlies, Morant is making progress in his recovery from a UCL sprain and recently received a platelet-rich plasma injection. He is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season. Morant had another injury-plagued season, making only 20 appearances. He averaged 19.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 8.1 assists in 28.5 minutes per game.
Walter Clayton Jr.,
Cam Spencer, and
Javon Small (back) have all been thrust into bigger roles as a result of Morant's absence.

March 24, 2026
Phoenix Suns forward
Royce O'Neale (knee) will play on Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets, Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic reports. He has recently dealt with left knee soreness, missing three games. However, Phoenix listed O'Neale as probable on the initial injury report, and he has officially received the green light to play. O'Neale has been a regular starter throughout the campaign for the Suns, averaging 9.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals. Phoenix will also have
Grayson Allen (knee) back in the lineup on Tuesday night, so
Jordan Goodwin will be less involved in the action. He will drop to the bench after filling in for O'Neale in the starting unit.
