Joel Embiid Pays Respect to Bradley Beal, Wizards on Tuesday Joel Embiid credits the Wizards after the 76ers took on a loss Tuesday night.
Corey Kispert - Starting in Beal's absence Kispert will start Wednesday's game against the Suns.
Impact With Bradley Beal (hamstring) sidelined, Kispert will rejoin the starting five. In seven December starts, he's averaged 9.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists.

Bradley Beal - Officially ruled out Wednesday Beal (hamstring) will not play Wednesday versus the Suns, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Per Wallace, Beal didn't look particularly mobile while testing out the hamstring in warmups, but it's at least a good sign that he gave it a try before taking the night off. He could be back on the floor as soon as Friday in Orlando, but Corey Kispert will replace him in the starting five Wednesday.

Deni Avdija - Minutes restriction expected Wizards coach Wes Unseld said Avdija will be "somewhat limited" in Friday's game against the Suns due to lower back soreness, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Avdija's injury isn't serious enough to hold him out of Wednesday's game but will likely hamper his playing time on the second night of a back-to-back. The third-year forward is averaging 28.6 minutes played over his last five outings.

Bradley Beal - Conflicting reports on status Head coach Wes Unseld labeled Beal (hamstring) a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Unseld's comments butt heads with a report from Shams Charania of The Athletic earlier in the day suggesting Beal would miss Wednesday's tilt. He's likely a doubtful lean leading up to the opening tip, but it will be worth keeping tabs on his status as the 7 PM ET opening tip draws near.

Bradley Beal - Out Wednesday, deemed day-to-day Beal (hamstring) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Suns and will be day-to-day after receiving an MRI, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Beal is out Wednesday after suffering a left hamstring injury in Tuesday's game against the 76ers. However, there is optimism that he will be available for Friday's matchup with Orlando. Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Will Barton are all candidates to see extended minutes in Beal's absence.
