Embiid has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Detroit due to right plantar fasciitis management.

Embiid will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set after posting a 28-point triple-double in Saturday's win over Milwaukee. Adem Bona will likely see a significant bump in minutes in Embiid's stead.

James (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against Detroit.

James will suit up in the second half of this back-to-back set after sitting out Saturday's win over Milwaukee. With the star forward back in the lineup, Dean Wade will likely shift to the second unit.

Reed provided two points (1-2 FG) and three rebounds in seven minutes during Saturday's 122-106 win over the Mavericks.

Reed saw a bump in playing time after not seeing the floor in Friday's loss to Houston. The rookie center is currently off the fantasy radar, as he's behind Victor Wembanyama and Luke Kornet on the depth chart.

Kornet produced zero points (0-2 FG), four rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes during Saturday's 122-106 victory over Dallas.

Kornet was held scoreless for the first time this season. The big man's fantasy appeal is limited, though he'd be a streaming option if Victor Wembanyama were to miss time this season.

Bryant totaled four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound over 10 minutes during Saturday's 122-106 win over the Mavericks.

Bryant logged double-digit minutes for the first time this season, scoring his first points of the 2026-27 campaign. The second-year forward faces an uphill climb for a steady role, especially once Tobias Harris (calf) returns.

Minott finished Saturday's 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers with four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in nine minutes.

Minott didn't see the floor in Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Hornets but made his 2026-27 regular-season debut Saturday. The 23-year-old forward signed a two-year, $9 million contract with the club this past offseason but faces an uphill battle for a consistent role.

Traore contributed three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds in five minutes during Saturday's 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers.

After logging 16 minutes in Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Hornets, Traore saw a significant dip in minutes Saturday. The second-year point guard could see increased burn while Mikel Brown (rest) remains limited, though Traore faces an uphill battle for a steady role.

Wagner finished with six points (1-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Saturday's 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers.

Wagner struggled mightily with efficiency from inside the arc Saturday and is now shooting 22.2 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from deep through two regular-season appearances. The big man will likely continue operating as Day'Ron Sharpe's primary backup.

Green finished Saturday's 127-116 loss to the 76ers with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and three rebounds across 19 minutes.

Green provided a spark off the bench once again, scoring 11 points and shooting 3-for-6 from downtown for a second consecutive contest. He's offered a scoring punch for the Bucks through three regular-season games, averaging 9.3 points, 2.7 triples and 1.3 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per showing.

O'Neale closed with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound over 11 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 victory over the Heat.

O'Neale was held scoreless for the first time this season as he logged a season-low 11 minutes. Through three regular-season games, he's averaging 4.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in 15.0 minutes per tilt.
