Green (coach's decision) was inactive for Wednesday's 128-126 preseason victory over Oklahoma City.

Green joined several Milwaukee rotation players on the inactive list Wednesday. His absence was not attributed to an injury, and his next opportunity to take the floor will come Sunday against Charlotte.

Porter (coach's decision) was inactive for Wednesday's 128-126 preseason win over Oklahoma City.

Porter did not suit up as Milwaukee continued its preseason evaluations. The veteran guard's next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Charlotte, assuming he is available.

Trent (coach's decision) was inactive for Wednesday's 128-126 preseason win over Oklahoma City.

Trent's absence wasn't listed as injury-related, and Milwaukee may simply be evaluating other backcourt options during the preseason. His next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Charlotte.

Turner recorded 19 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 128-126 preseason win over Oklahoma City.

Turner delivered an efficient offensive performance while providing his usual rim protection. The veteran center's combination of perimeter shooting and shot-blocking should continue to make him a valuable fantasy option heading into the regular season.

Prosper recorded nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one assist and one block in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason loss to Orlando.

Prosper provided efficient scoring inside the arc while contributing a blocked shot in limited action. The former Mavericks forward will look to build on the performance as he competes for a consistent role in Memphis' frontcourt rotation ahead of the regular season.

Knox recorded 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and six rebounds in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason win over Memphis.

Knox provided a scoring boost off the bench while finishing as one of Orlando's more productive rebounders. The veteran forward will look to build on the performance as he competes for a spot on the roster.

Wagner finished with six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, two rebounds and two steals in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason victory over Memphis.

Wagner struggled with his shot but made a significant impact as a facilitator, leading Orlando in assists despite limited playing time. His ability to contribute across multiple categories should remain a key part of his fantasy appeal heading into the regular season.

Vucevic recorded nine points (3-3 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason win over Memphis.

Vucevic made all three of his attempts from beyond the arc, showcasing his floor-spacing ability in limited action. The veteran center could provide valuable offensive production off Orlando's bench, though his playing time will be worth monitoring in a crowded frontcourt.

Bitadze finished with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one block in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason victory over Memphis.

Bitadze was efficient around the basket but saw limited playing time behind Orlando's other frontcourt options. With Nikola Vucevic also competing for minutes, Bitadze could face challenges securing a consistent rotation role.

Jefferson (back) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the 76ers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Jefferson will miss his second consecutive preseason contest after sitting out Tuesday's win over Charlotte. The rookie forward's return timeline remains unclear, and the missed time could limit his opportunities to compete for a rotation role ahead of the regular season.
