Camara finished with five points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason win over the Warriors.

Camara made his preseason debut Wednesday. The fourth-year forward has been a full-time starter for Portland in back-to-back seasons and should retain that role in 2026-27, especially given that Shaedon Sharpe (knee) is likely to be sidelined until March.

Henderson finished with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 17 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason win over the Warriors.

Although most of the attention is on Ja Morant and Damian Lillard in Portland's revamped backcourt, Henderson should continue to play a prominent role off the bench this season. Henderson averaged a career-high 14.2 points despite playing a career-low 24.9 minutes per game last regular season.

Clingan finished with three points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block over 20 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason win over the Warriors.

Clingan had a hard time finding the bottom of the basket in the preseason opener, but he collected a team-high 10 boards to go with a full stat line. The 2024 first-rounder added a respectable three-point shot to his arsenal and improved as a free-throw shooter a year ago, and there's still room for growth for Clingan in his third season.

Ike notched 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt 0-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.

Ike saw significant run off the bench on a night the Warriors were short on available bodies. A two-way player, Ike is likely to be sent to the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors once the preseason is finished.

Jones Garcia (ankle) is good to go for Thursday's preseason game against the Hawks, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

After undergoing ankle surgery in February, Jones Garcia apparently has a clean bill of health ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. He's on a two-way contract with the Spurs and is likely to see a lot of G League reps.

Richard notched 15 points (3-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.

The Warriors were short on healthy bodies Wednesday, allowing Richard to handle a featured role. He's competing mainly with Gary Payton and Brandon Williams for an Opening Night role off the bench.

Brown (back) is out for Thursday's preseason game against the Hawks, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Brown is dealing with some tightness, so this sounds like a precaution. The No. 44 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft is not expected to crack the rotation on Opening Night.

Swain produced 10 points (3-3 FG, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals over 22 minutes in Wednesday's 124-117 preseason win over the Suns.

The rookie first-rounder impressed in the preseason opener, leading the second unit in dimes. Swain appears likely to have an Opening Night role off the bench, but his fantasy value should be limited while the Bulls are healthy.

Miller finished with 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason win over Phoenix.

Miller delivered an efficient offensive performance off the bench while adding two steals and committing no turnovers. The 22-year-old forward will look to build on the encouraging showing as he competes for minutes in Chicago's frontcourt, although his regular-season role remains uncertain.

Powell recorded 14 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason victory over Phoenix.

Powell made an immediate impact in his first preseason appearance with Chicago, connecting on three triples while requiring just four field-goal attempts. The veteran wing appears poised to provide the Bulls with an established perimeter scoring threat alongside Josh Giddey, though his offensive role will become clearer as the preseason progresses.
