Len (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Len suffered a moderate high-ankle sprain Monday against the Cavaliers and will be unavailable for a second consecutive game. It wouldn't be surprising to see him sidelined beyond Friday, but his next chance to return will be Sunday in Dallas.

Duren (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

Duren sustained a right ankle injury last week and will be forced to miss a third consecutive game. Marvin Bagley is questionable due to an illness, so James Wiseman and Isaiah Stewart could see increased run Friday.

Bagley is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland due to an illness.

Bagley hasn't yet missed a game this season, but his status for Friday's matchup is in jeopardy due to his illness. Jalen Duren (ankle) remains out Friday, so James Wiseman and Isaiah Stewart could handle increased roles in the frontcourt if Bagley is also sidelined.

Porzingis (knee) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Raptors.

Porzingis is in danger of missing his second straight game Friday due to a right knee contusion. If Porzingis is ruled out, Al Horford (toe) will likely start at center again.

Horford is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Raptors due to a left big toe sprain.

It's unclear when Horford suffered his injury, but it's unlikely to keep him out of Friday's contest. With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) questionable, Horford could be in line for another start against Toronto.

Embiid (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta.

Embiid continues to deal with a sore left hip, but he hasn't yet been forced to miss any time this season. He was a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup against the Celtics before being deemed available, so the 76ers may wait to see how he fares during pregame activities before determining his status for Friday's game.

Koloko (illness) won't play in Friday's game versus the Celtics.

Koloko has yet to suit up this season while dealing with a respiratory illness. There is no timetable for his return.

Hartenstein tallied 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 FT) along with four rebounds and a steal over 17 minutes in a 116-114 win over the Hawks on Wednesday.

Hartenstein turned in his third double-digit scoring performance of the season, proving his value as a scorer on the second unit. The 25-year-old center is averaging 6.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.4 blocks in 16.9 minutes thus far, and his role backing up Mitchell Robinson seems to be set in stone.

Boucher accumulated nine points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and one block across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 loss to Milwaukee.

Boucher was one rebound and one point shy of notching his first double-double of the season Wednesday. Boucher continues to be one of Toronto's first options off the bench in the frontcourt. The 30-year-old forward is averaging 7.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 16.6 minutes across nine games so far in 2023-24.

Reid posted 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and a steal in Minnesota's 133-115 loss to the Suns on Wednesday.

Although the Timberwolves broke their seven-game win streak, Reid continues to shine in his role as the sixth man, as he led all bench scorers for the ninth time this season. The 24-year-old center is averaging 13.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks in 21.5 minutes thus far while shooting a remarkable 44.4 percent from three. It's unclear whether he'll be able to maintain this efficiency, but expect Reid to continue producing solid stat lines on a nightly basis regardless.
