Vucevic isn't part of the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason game against Milwaukee.

Vucevic was rested in Chicago's previous preseason tilt but is available to play Sunday. However, the veteran center isn't part of the starting lineup, which could indicate he'll see limited action. Vucevic has come off the bench in just three regular-season games across four-plus years with the Bulls.

Queta will come off the bench during Sunday's preseason game against the Cavaliers.

Queta got the start Friday against the Raptors, but he will shift back to a bench role with Sam Hauser (rest) returning to the starting lineup. Queta will serve as backup to Chris Boucher at the five against Cleveland.

Ware will start Sunday's preseason game against Orlando, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

With Bam Adebayo resting and Nikola Jovic (back) out, Ware will get his first start of the preseason. He's been a clear standout in Miami's exhibition slate thus far.

Adebayo (rest) will not play in Sunday's preseason game against Orlando, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

This is simply a night off for Miami's franchise center. Adebayo has already made three appearances in the preseason with 7.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 16.8 minutes per contest.

Vucevic (rest) will be back in the lineup for Sunday's preseason game against the Bucks, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

After sitting out Thursday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Vucevic has the green light for this exhibition. The Bulls have two more preseason contests following Sunday's game.

Filipowski (back) was a full participant at Sunday's practice, according to KSL Sports.

Filipowski has been sidelined since the end of September with a nagging back issue, but it sounds like he's closing in on a return. The second-year forward could make his preseason debut Monday against Dallas.

Kessler (shoulder) was a full participant at Sunday's practice, according to KSL Sports.

Kessler has yet to play in the preseason due to left shoulder soreness, but it sounds like he could make his debut in Monday's exhibition against the Mavericks. Kessler's name has been in the rumor mill with the big man unlikely to come to an agreement on a contract extension with the Jazz, setting him up for restricted free agency next offseason.

Sarr (calf) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason opener against the Raptors.

After missing the beginning of training camp with a calf issue he suffered during EuroBasket, Sarr has the green light to play and there's been no mention of any restrictions. That being said, it's likely that he has a modest workload Sunday as the Wizards gradually ramp him up.

Chomche (undisclosed) will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Wizards, according to Raptors reporter Vivek Jacob.

Chomche will miss his fourth straight exhibition for an undisclosed reason. His next chance to play comes in Wednesday's exhibition against Boston.

Poeltl (back, illness) won't play during Sunday's preseason game against the Wizards, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Poeltl has yet to play during the preseason, and following the matchup against Washington, he'll have only two more chances to do so before the regular season begins. Jonathan Mogbo started Toronto's first two preseason games in Poeltl's absence, but Sandro Mamukelashvili started Friday against the Celtics and will get another chance with the first five Sunday.
