• Jaden McDaniels (ankle) — Injured

• Jordan McLaughlin (knee) — Injured

• Jaylen Clark (Achilles) — Injured

McDaniels exited the previous contest after playing just five minutes. On Tuesday, an MRI confirmed a Grade 1 sprain of his right ankle, and he has a return-to-play timeline of two to three weeks. Alexander-Walker should be a competent replacement starter in the interim, and he will likely be tasked with the tougher defensive matchups that McDaniels would usually receive. In what's expected to be Alexander-Walker's third start of the season, he will face the 76ers, who have two top-ten scorers in Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.

Sacramento Kings News

• Chris Duarte (thumb) — Available

• Trey Lyles (calf) — Available

With quite a few rotational players uncertain to dress, Fox could have a high-usage game. In two outings without Murray last season, Fox posted a 32.1% usage rate, averaging 30.5 points and 7.5 assists in those contests. Fox's 32.4% usage rate this season is already the team-high, and he's posted it while playing each game with Murray, who attempts 12.6 shots per game.

New Orleans Pelicans News

Confirmed Lineup: Dyson Daniels, Herb Jones, Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson, Jonas Valanciunas

• Larry Nance Jr. (rib) — Available

• CJ McCollum (lung) — Injured

• Matt Ryan (calf) — Injured

• Trey Murphy (knee) — Injured

McCollum mentioned on Tuesday that while he isn't back yet, he feels like he's getting close. "I’m looking forward to getting back out there, but not quite yet," said McCollum. "I’m waiting for clearance from my pulmonologist. But I should be getting cleared here pretty soon." The Pelicans have lost five of their last eight games sans McCollum.

San Antonio Spurs News

Confirmed Lineup: Jeremy Sochan, Malaki Branham, Keldon Johnson, Victor Wembanyama, Zach Collins

• Devin Vassell (adductor) — In

In games sans Vassell this season, Johnson has seen his usage jump from 20.3% to 23.2%, and his points per game average increase from 13.9 to 21.4. If Vassell remains sidelined, Johnson will likely have the ball in his hands often against a Clippers team whom small forwards score the fifth-most points per contest (23.4) against. The Spurs faced the Clippers without Vassell last game, and Johnson recorded 22 points.
