Edey (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Edey has missed the last 12 games due to a left ankle sprain, but he will return to the lineup Sunday. Considering the amount of time he has missed, it wouldn't be surprising to see Edey on a minute restriction as he returns to form.

Looney will start Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Looney has come off the bench in the team's last two games, but he will return to a starting role Sunday with Draymond Green retreating to the bench. In his last three starts, Looney averaged 3.7 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 24.7 minutes per contest.

Porzingis is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Wizards due to right heel pain, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Porzingis exited for the locker room during Sunday's contest and has been deemed questionable to return. If he is ultimately unable to return, Luke Kornet would likely see more minutes.

Clingan will start Sunday's game against the Suns, Casey Holdahl of the team's official site reports.

Clingan returned on a minutes restriction from a seven-game absence Friday, but he will rejoin the starting lineup Sunday. Over his last six starts, Clingan holds averages of 7.7 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.2 blocks in 22.7 minutes per contest.

Williams (reconditioning) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Williams will return to action after missing the last seven games due to a concussion and subsequent reconditioning. Williams will serve as backup to Donovan Clingan.

Embiid has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hornets due to a right sinus fracture.

Embiid was diagnosed with a sinus fracture after leaving Friday's loss to the Pacers, but at first, the 76ers didn't want to rule the big man out for Monday's contest. Given his injury history, it's certainly possible Embiid will miss additional contests, but for now, he's being treated as day-to-day. His next chance to suit up will come Friday during a rematch against the Hornets, while Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele are candidates for increased roles in Embiid's absence.

Hukporti (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic.

As expected, Hukporti has been downgraded from doubtful to out. His absence isn't expected to impact the Knicks' rotation.

Collins (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

As expected, Collins has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a second straight game. In his absence, Charles Bassey and Sandro Mamukelashvili are candidates for extra minutes behind Victor Wembanyama.

Duren (wrist) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Heat.

Duren will return to action Monday after being a late scratch ahead of Thursday's loss to the Celtics, which was his first absence since Nov. 10. Over his last 14 appearances, Duren has averaged 9.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 24.4 minutes per game.

Vucevic (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Vucevic missed his first game of the season Friday against the Hornets due to an illness. However, he's expected to return to action Monday. Over his last five appearances, Vucevic has averaged 23.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes per game.
