Embiid (knee) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder.

Embiid will return to action Tuesday after missing Philadelphia's previous 29 contests due to a left knee injury. With Mo Bamba (illness) out, the reigning MVP will reclaim his spot in the starting lineup. However, Embiid will operate under a minutes restriction, likely leaving increased playing time for Paul Reed.

Davis (knee) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Raptors, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Davis has been upgraded from questionable to available despite dealing with a lingering knee injury. The star big man has recorded at least 22 points and 14 rebounds in each of his last six outings.

Robinson (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Robinson will return to action Tuesday after missing the Knicks' previous contest with an ankle injury. The 25-year-old big man should continue to serve as the backup center to Isaiah Hartenstein until he is able to handle a full workload.

Hayes (calf) is active for Tuesday's game against Toronto, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Hayes will return from one-game absence due to a left calf contusion. Anthony Davis (knee) remains questionable but is expected to suit up Tuesday as well, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Embiid (knee) has been upgraded to questionable and is expected to play Tuesday against the Thunder, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid was initially ruled out for Tuesday's game, but he ascended to questionable a couple of hours before tipoff and is set to make his first appearance since Jan. 30. Coach Nick Nurse does expect the reigning MVP to have some restrictions during his first game back, per Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com, but the timing of Embiid's return should allow him to get back to 100 percent by the time the playoffs roll around, barring a setback.

Bamba won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Thunder due to an illness, Lauren Rosen of the 76ers' official site reports.

Despite not appearing on the injury report all day, Bamba will miss Tuesday's contest with a non-COVID illness. If Joel Embiid (knee) is upgraded from questionable, he should reclaim his starting role. Bamba's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Miami.

Embiid (knee) is now listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid's potential availability for Tuesday has been revived after he was initially ruled out for the contest. If he takes the court against the Thunder, coach Nick Nurse expects the big man's workload to be strictly monitored, per Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com. Regardless of Embiid's ultimate status for Tuesday, it appears that a return is on the imminent horizon.

Gibson (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

It appears unlikely that Gibson will be able to suit up Wednesday as he continues battling a right hamstring strain. James Wiseman, Tosan Evbuomwan and Chimezie Metu will continue leading the second unit's frontcourt rotation if Gibson is unavailable.

Davis is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors due to a knee injury, but he's expected to play, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Davis and LeBron James (ankle) are both expected to play despite being listed as questionable again. Davis missed just one game in March and averaged 22.8 points, 14.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.2 steals in 36.3 minutes over his 13 appearances.

Duren (tooth/mouth) carries no injury designation for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Duren is cleared for Wednesday's contest after a collision caused him to lose a tooth in Monday's loss to Memphis. He will likely be unrestricted Wednesday.
