Tue, Oct 13, 2026
- MIL
Burries played well in Milwaukee's preseason game Wednesday, logging 16 points, five rebounds, two steals and an assist in 21 minutes, but he will sit out of Sunday's matchup with the Hornets. His next opportunity to play comes Wednesday against the Bulls.
- CHI
Awaka remains day-to-day with his knee sprain. With Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) sidelined to open the season, Awaka could be in the mix at the edge of the rotation.
- HOU
Adams totaled two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Friday's 135-117 preseason win over the Mavericks, marking his first game action since undergoing ankle surgery in January. The veteran center is expected to be the primary backup to Alperen Sengun this season.
- MIA
Adebayo is one of several projected starters who won't be available for the Heat in this preseason contest due to rest. The star big man could return to face Brooklyn on Wednesday, as the Heat are taking a cautious approach to have him fully available for the regular-season opener against the Timberwolves on Oct. 21.
- MIA
Antetokounmpo is one of several projected starters who won't be available for this preseason matchup. This is likely a rest-related move in order to have Antetokounmpo available for the regular-season opener on Oct. 21 against the Timberwolves, especially since he was limited to just 36 regular-season games with the Bucks in the 2025-26 regular season. His next chance to play will come against Brooklyn on Wednesday.
- LAC
With Beal already set to miss the start of training camp, it sounds like the veteran guard still hasn't progressed to full-contact work. His continued knee inflammation keeps his ramp-up timeline uncertain and suggests the Clippers will continue to manage his workload in camp.
- PHX
Booker won't be an option for Saturday's game due to rest, as the Suns are managing his workload carefully with the start of the regular season right around the corner. Booker's next chance to play will come in the rematch against San Antonio on Wednesday.
- PHX
While Bridges won't play Saturday, he was able to practice Friday, so he's trending in the right direction. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in a preseason rematch with the Spurs.
- PHI
Brown will skip his first meeting against his former team in Boston, but he should be able to get back out there for Friday's rematch with the Celtics. Justin Edwards and Dean Wade will help pick up the slack Saturday with Brown unavailable.
- PHI
LeBron James (rest), Joel Embiid (rest) and Jaylen Brown (rest) will join Caldwell-Pope on the inactive list for Saturday's exhibition, which may result in major minutes for Rayan Rupert and Caleb Love. Caldwell-Pope's next chance to play will come Friday in a rematch with the Celtics.
- CHI
Collins has yet to suit up in the preseason due to a toe injury but is making progress ahead of the regular season. The big man's final chance to suit up in the preseason will come Friday against Minnesota.
- HOU
According to coach Ime Udoka, Durant was initially scheduled to play only the first half Friday but requested additional minutes to build chemistry with Fred VanVleet and his other new teammates. The veteran forward's absence Sunday appears to be a planned precaution rather than an injury-related setback, and Houston should have additional minutes available for its other wings and forwards
- PHI
Head coach Nick Nurse is resting most of the vets for Saturday's exhibition, so Jabari Walker could get all the run he can handle. Embiid should return for Friday's preseason rematch with Boston.
- SAS
Fox was listed in the starting lineup for Thursday's game but was a late scratch and will miss a third straight exhibition Monday. The extent of his injury remains unclear, but the Spurs have made no indication that the veteran point guard is in danger of missing Opening Night. For what it's worth, the Spurs are resting most of their regulars, including their expected starting lineup for Monday's game.
- SAS
"It's a calf strain, the seriousness is what it is," said Johnson. "We won't rush him at all. I guess the question will be is he ready for the season opener? Totally questionable and we will not push that at all. So, we'll take it slow. There is no concern of this level of seriousness, and at the same time, we will not rush him at all." It sounds like Harris, who has already been ruled out for the preseason, is in danger of missing opening night. His absence will open up minutes for Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson and Harrison Barnes.
- OKC
Hartenstein and the rest of Oklahoma City's regulars won't travel to Atlanta for the first half of a back-to-back set. The veteran center has yet to suit up during the preseason due to an ankle injury, and his status for Tuesday's home game against Indiana remains unclear.
- ORL
The oft-injured forward is back with the team after attending to a personal matter but remains sidelined with a knee injury. Friday's exhibition against the Heat marks Isaac's last chance for preseason reps.
- PHI
The Sixers will be resting several players for this contest, and James is one of the many projected starters who will be taking a seat alongside Joel Embiid and Jaylen Brown. The 76ers will manage James' workload carefully with an eye toward having him ready for the regular-season opener against the Knicks on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
- IND
McConnell has not been practicing and has not played this preseason, but the Pacers have not disclosed exactly what he's dealing with. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Oklahoma City.
- WAS
Middleton has yet to play in the preseason as he ramps up his conditioning. The veteran forward's next chance to suit up will come Friday against New Orleans.
- SAC
Monk should make his preseason debut at some point in the near future. He'll try to do Tuesday versus Portland.
- NOP
Murray is dealing with a right toe contusion, though head coach Jamahl Mosley said his absence Thursday is precautionary. The veteran point guard's next chance to play in the preseason will come Wednesday against Dallas.
- GSW
Porzingis has yet to report to Warriors training camp while dealing with an undisclosed issue. He's running out of time to make a preseason appearance, and it sounds like the big man is in real jeopardy of missing the start of the regular season at this point.
- SAC
Sabonis has missed two straight games for undisclosed reasons, but it sounds like it's a minor issue. If the veteran big man doesn't suit up Tuesday, his final chance to play during the preseason will come Friday in San Antonio.
- LAL
Sexton has missed multiple preseason games due to what was initially described as a lower-body injury, but Redick was more specific about the nature of Sexton's health concern Saturday. With two more exhibition games left on the schedule, the Lakers may keep Sexton sidelined until the team's regular-season opener against the Warriors on Wednesday, Oct. 21.
- PHI
Simons continues to deal with tightness in his hamstring, though he's trending in the right direction. For now, he's questionable at best for the next preseason game Oct. 16 against the Celtics.
- MIA
The 36-year-old vet will receive a maintenance day Saturday, but he should be back in action for Wednesday's preseason meeting with the Nets. Tim Hardaway should be more involved in the rotation Saturday with Thompson unavailable.
- MIA
Wiggins will skip Saturday's exhibition for maintenance reasons, but he should return for Wednesday's preseason game against Brooklyn. Wiggins' absence should open up minutes for Myron Gardner and Simone Fontecchio.
- CHI
This is a huge blow for Claxton and it rules him out for the entire preseason. For now, fantasy managers can consider him questionable for Opening Night on Oct. 21 against the Raptors. Jalen Smith is the next man up on the depth chart for Chicago, followed by Zach Collins (toe).
- PHI
This is a tough blow for Fall, as he's already facing an uphill battle to make the final roster. A return Oct. 16 isn't out of the question based on this timetable.
- CHA
White missed time with a left calf strain last season and is now in jeopardy of starting the regular season on the inactive list. If the 26-year-old guard is forced to miss time beyond the preseason, Christian Anderson and Dennis Schroder would likely see increased playing time.
- CHA
Williams will be re-evaluated the first week of the regular season, putting his status for Opening Night in the air. Williams will have a difficult path to minutes this season as he competes with the likes of Naz Reid, Royce O'Neale and Tidjane Salaun.
- IND
Haliburton missed a preseason contest due to an ankle issue, but his full participation in Monday's practice suggests he's making progress toward returning to game action. However, Carlisle indicated that the guard's availability for Tuesday's preseason matchup against Oklahoma City won't be determined until game day. His status remains worth monitoring, though the unrestricted practice session is an encouraging sign.
- MIN
"[Kuminga] is dealing with a little bit of bumps and bruises that we're just being overly cautious with," said head coach Chris Finch when asked why Kuminga would miss Monday's exhibition. It sounds like there's a decent chance Kuminga will be able to get back out there for Wednesday's preseason meeting with the Pistons.
- MIA
The Heat will be resting their entire starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game, so expect ample minutes for guys like Ryan Conwell and Bez Mbeng. Mitchell should return for Wednesday's exhibition against the Nets.
- LAL
Williams has missed two straight preseason games due to the injury, which was previously labeled as general soreness. It's unclear when he'll be cleared to play, but it doesn't sound like he's practicing at full capacity yet.
- BOS
Garza took an inadvertent elbow to the nose from teammate Chris Cenac, and the former was taken to the locker room shortly thereafter. Assuming Garza doesn't return, he'll end his night with eight points (4-9 FG), seven rebounds and one assist over 11 minutes.
- HOU
Sengun recorded 16 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and three blocks in 22 minutes during Friday's 135-117 preseason win over Dallas but will take a seat Sunday. Sengun is coming off another impressive year, averaging 20.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 33.3 minutes per game across 72 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. However, the star center shot just 69.1 percent from the charity stripe and 30.5 percent from downtown. He's been focused on improving in those areas this offseason, and an uptick in efficiency would be a significant step toward becoming a more well-rounded player.
- DAL
Aldama underwent knee surgery in March and has been limited during training camp practices. It's unclear when he'll be cleared to make his Mavericks debut. The 2021 No. 30 overall pick spent his entire career in Memphis before Dallas traded for him in July. In 278 regular-season games (82 starts), Aldama has averaged 10.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists over 23.4 minutes per contest.
- DET
Cunningham wasn't announced in the starting lineup for this contest, with Daniss Jenkins taking his place, but the star guard didn't even step on the hardwood. This was likely a precautionary move to manage Cunningham's workload before the start of the regular season, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about his absence. His next chance to play in the preseason will come Wednesday against the Timberwolves.
- MIA
This is a tough blow for the point guard who was penciled in as the top backup behind Davion Mitchell. If he indeed misses a couple weeks, he could be back in time for their final preseason contest Oct. 16.
- OKC
Holmgren has yet to play in the preseason due to a quad contusion and will remain on the inactive list in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The big man's final chance to suit up before the regular season will come Thursday versus Houston.
- DET
Duren is still working himself into game shape after sitting out training camp while his contract negotiation played out, but he is hopeful to suit up at some point during the preseason. His next chance to get out there will come Wednesday in Minnesota.
- LAL
Kessler has yet to suit up in the preseason after jamming his finger during training camp, though the injury isn't viewed as a long-term concern. The big man can be considered questionable for Tuesday's exhibition against the Warriors until the Lakers provide an update on his status.
- OKC
Williams is still dealing with a heel injury and won't play in the second half of this back-to-back set. The big man's final chance to see game action ahead of the regular season will come Thursday against Houston.
- BOS
Harper is working through right shoulder illness, which has prevented him from playing in each of the Celtics' first two preseason games. His next opportunity to play is Wednesday against the Hornets.
- PHI
Barlow has missed the entire preseason so far and remains without a timetable to return. He can be considered questionable at best for Friday's preseason finale against Boston.
- DAL
Sasser will miss a second straight exhibition game due to left adductor soreness. It's unclear when he'll be cleared to play again, but Sasser has three more chances to suit up during the preseason, with his next chance coming Wednesday against the Pelicans.
- TOR
Jackson-Davis is working his way back from a dental procedure. His status remains up in the air for Tuesday's preseason game against the Knicks.
- ATL
Gueye will be re-evaluated by medical staff in 3-to-4 months, which means he'll miss all of training camp and preseason and likely the start of the 2026-27 regular season. It's a brutal blow for the fourth-year big man, given that the Hawks used the No. 23 overall pick of the 2026 NBA Draft to select St. John's product Zuby Ejiofor. Gueye's absence means Ejiofor will have more opportunities in the preseason, and the rookie could establish a key role off the bench behind Onyeka Okongwu and projected backup center Jock Landale (ankle).
