Eubanks (illness) will not play in Thursday's game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Eubanks is day-to-day and should be considered questionable to return for Sunday's game against Portland. With Eubanks unable to suit up Thursday, Jusuf Nurkic could pick up a few more minutes, with Chimezie Metu potentially stepping into a larger role.

Lively (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Lively was doubtful for Thursday's game and will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive contest. Dwight Powell will likely remain in the starting lineup against New York.

Ayton (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Thunder.

The star big man is one of three players that won't feature Thursday, and the team will be shorthanded in the frontcourt with his absence. His next chance to play will come Friday against the Timberwolves.

Eubanks is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to an illness.

Eubanks was a late addition to Thursday's injury report, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up due to his illness. If he's unavailable, Jusuf Nurkic and Chimezie Metu could see a few additional minutes.

Gobert (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

Gobert is in danger of missing his second consecutive game Friday due to left hip soreness. If the star center is ruled out, Naz Reid and Kyle Anderson will likely continue to receive extended playing time.

Capela (Achilles) is probable for Friday's game versus the Pacers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.

Capela is expected to play Friday after missing Atlanta's previous contest with right Achilles soreness. If Capela is upgraded to available, he will likely reclaim his spot from Onyeka Okongwu in the starting five.

Plumlee posted 14 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals over 29 minutes in Wednesday's 125-114 loss to Stockton.

Plumlee made his first appearance of the year with Ontario while working back from an MCL sprain, debuting in the G League by hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and ending as one of five players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. In eight games at the NBA level, Plumlee has averaged 4.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 14.3 minutes for Los Angeles.

Carter (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Heat.

Carter is in danger of missing his fourth straight game due to a knee injury. If Carter is ruled out, Goga Bitadze should draw another start.

Embiid (knee) will remain out for Friday's matchup against the Kings.

Coach Nick Nurse was hopeful last year's MVP could get back on the court Friday, but he'll instead miss a third straight game. After appearing in each of the 76ers' first 14 games, Embiid has appeared in just 13 of the following 22. He's remained dominant when available, but the missed time is becoming a concern for a big man with an injury history. Paul Reed should draw another start against Sacramento. Nurse said Friday that Embiid is day-to-day and is expected to practice soon, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Thompson was ejected from Thursday's game versus the Nets after getting into an altercation with Nic Claxton, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Thompson will finish Thursday's game with one point (1-4 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 11 minutes before getting ejected. Damian Jones could receive extended minutes behind Jarrett Allen as Cleveland's backup center in Thompson's absence.
