- Jaren Jackson Jr. | Knee | Utah Jazz
- Lauri Markkanen | Hip | Utah Jazz
- Lauri Markkanen last played a game on February 23 and will remain out with a hip injury. Keyonte George, Kyle Filipowski, and Ace Bailey will continue have increased opportunities on offense without Markkanen. George is coming off a 36-point performance against the Denver Nuggets on March 2. Filipowski has also been a difference maker for Utah, totaling double-digit points in six consecutive contests.

- Joel Embiid | Oblique | Philadelphia 76ers
- Tonight against the Utah Jazz, Sixers center Joel Embiid will remain out with a right oblique strain. Although Tyrese Maxey only had 21 points last night against the Spurs, he will still remain the Sixers’ best player, especially with Embiid sidelined. Since VJ Edgecombe left Tuesday’s game early due to a back injury, Quentin Grimes is in a good position to make an impact against Utah.
