Loyer signed a training camp contract with the Clippers on Tuesday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Loyer was waived by the Clippers last Tuesday before re-signing with the team a week later. His last chance to play for the team in the preseason will come Wednesday against Denver.

Youngblood (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason game against the Kings.

Youngblood will miss his second exhibition game in as many days due to left calf soreness. His final chance to play again in the preseason will come Friday against Golden State.

Williams (rest) is available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Kings.

The veteran big man is off the injury report after resting Monday against London. Williams is in line to be the primary backup center behind Donovan Clingan, though 2025 first-rounder Yang Hansen poses a threat to that role.

Lillard (rest) is available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Kings.

The veteran guard is absent from the injury report after sitting out Monday against London. Lillard is in line to serve as Portland's starting point guard in his comeback campaign from an Achilles injury and second stint with the Trail Blazers.

Smith tallied five points (2-5 FG, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across 10 minutes in Monday's 113-110 preseason loss to the Hawks.

Smith is battling for a roster spot under an Exhibit 10 deal. If he doesn't break camp with the Thunder, Smith would likely join the G League's Oklahoma City Blue.

Isaac (knee/personal) participated in individual drills Tuesday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Isaac has been away from the team while attending to a personal matter, though he's back ahead of Tuesday's exhibition against Cleveland. It's unclear if the 29-year-old will suit up Tuesday, as he was limited by a knee injury before missing back-to-back preseason contests for personal reasons.

Jones (hamstring) remains limited to non-contact work, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

It appears unlikely that Jones will be recovered from a hamstring injury in time to receive any preseason reps. Given where he's at in his rehab, Jones' status for the start of the regular season is in limbo as well.

Collins (toe) is progressing in his recovery but has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason meeting with the Bucks, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

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.

Awaka (knee) didn't practice Tuesday, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.

Awaka banged his knee in Friday's preseason game against Memphis. The undrafted rookie can be deemed questionable for Wednesday's exhibition versus the Bucks.

Okoro (undisclosed) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

It's unclear why Okoro didn't practice, though he can be considered questionable for Wednesday's exhibition against Milwaukee. If the 25-year-old wing is unable to suit up, Leonard Miller, Jordan Hawkins and Buddy Hield could see a bump in playing time.
