In an interview with CSNPhilly.com, Jerry Colangelo says Joel Embiid (foot) is headed in the right direction.
“With all of the reports that I’ve seen and all the footage I’ve seen in terms of video, it appears that he’s headed in the right direction,” Colangelo said of Embiid. The Sixers have quite a bit of depth in their frontcourt and Embiid is expected to have some restrictions, at least to start the season.

Romeo Langford (right ankle sprain) is officially available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Langford has been injured for most of the season so far, having played more games with the G league team than with the Celtics. He could see some real opportunity in Wednesday's game with the news that Marcus Smart (eye infection) has been ruled out. Langford makes for an interesting low-cost DFS play. However, there is no guarantee that he will play.

Cacok was with the team for the preseason but ultimately didn't make the final roster. It is highly likely that he is on a two-way contract with the news that the Lakers waived two-way player Zach Norvell to make room for Cacok. Cacok is off the fantasy radar.

The Warriors have recalled Alen Smailagić from their G League affiliate ahead of Wednesday's game vs. the Knicks and there is a chance that he makes his NBA debut in this contest.
The Warriors are high on their 19-year-old rookie out of Serbia who played for their G league roster last season before being drafted in the second round of the 2019 draft. He won't make an impact this season but could be a name to watch as he works on his craft.
