Suggs (knee) did not return to Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Suggs exited the game late in the fourth quarter due to a non-contact right knee injury and was unable to return. He concluded the contest with four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and three steals in 33 minutes. Initial reports postgame suggest that Suggs will undergo an MRI in the coming days to determine the extent of the injury.

Wagner produced 23 points (9-23 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists and three turnovers across 38 minutes in Sunday's 111-102 win over the Knicks.

Wagner went to work on the glass, pulling down a career-high 13 rebounds while notching his first double-double of the season. Paolo Banchero is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks with an ankle injury, and Jalen Suggs exited Sunday's game with what appeared to be a significant knee injury. As a result, Wagner figures to be extremely busy on offense moving forward.

Caldwell-Pope (wrist) has returned to Sunday's game against the Pistons, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Caldwell-Pope exited the game for the locker room briefly due to an apparent right wrist injury, but was able to return. A positive development for an already shorthanded 76ers squad.

Caldwell-Pope left Sunday's game against the Pistons due to an apparent right wrist injury, Chris Hine of The Philly Inquirer reports.

Caldwell-Pope was doubled over in pain during a timeout, appearing to be grabbing at his right wrist, before heading to the locker room. If he is unable to return, Anfernee Simons, Labaron Philon and Justin Edwards could see extra minutes.

Suggs went down with an apparent right knee injury during Sunday's game against the Knicks and needed to be helped to the locker room, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Suggs couldn't put much pressure at all on his right leg as he was helped back to the locker room, so for now, he should be considered doubtful to return. Anthony Black will likely be elevated to a starting role if Suggs needs to miss time, and there will be more minutes available for Jase Richardson.

Minott posted 15 points (4-12 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 136-109 loss to the Pacers.

Despite coming off the bench, Minott hauled in a team-high eight boards Sunday. The forward likely saw more playing time because Indiana ran away with this contest in the second half, but Minott did make a case Sunday to challenge the struggling Noah Clowney for reserve minutes in the frontcourt.

Williams was stretchered off the floor during Sunday's game against the Clippers due to an apparent left ankle injury, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Williams suffered a gruesome left ankle injury after crashing to the floor on a drive to the rim, resulting in him being taken off on a stretcher. A devastating development for the star guard, who is coming off an injury-plagued campaign in 2025-26. A considerable layoff seems imminent for Williams, likely leaving minutes for Jared McCain, Ajay Mitchell, Alex Caruso and Kenrich Williams to absorb.

Traore racked up 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Sunday's 136-109 loss to the Pacers.

Indiana pulled away on the scoreboard in the second half, which helped allow Traore to show what he's capable of with an expanded role. It's worth noting rookie first-rounder Mikel Brown rested for the second end of this back-to-back set, so it remains to be seen if Traore showed well enough Sunday to earn more playing time when the Brooklyn backcourt is at full strength.

Ellis registered nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, three assists, one block and four steals in 23 minutes during Sunday's 136-109 loss to Indiana.

Ellis continues to make a big impact on the defensive end of the floor, having now picked up multiple steals in three straight games to open the season. The expectation is that rookie first-rounder Mikel Brown is eventually going to overtake Ellis for a starting spot in the backcourt once Brown's restrictions are lifted, but Ellis should continue to deliver low-end fantasy numbers until that change is implemented.

Huff racked up 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 21 minutes during Sunday's 136-109 win over the Nets.

Huff started the second half for the injured Ivica Zubac, who rolled his left ankle in the first quarter and didn't return. Head coach Rick Carlisle said following Sunday's victory that Zubac is unlikely to play Monday versus the Bucks, so Huff could be in line to draw his first start of the year his next time out after making 47 regular-season starts for the Pacers in 2025-26.
