Reaves won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Kings after tweaking his ankle, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

The Lakers don't appear to be overly concerned about the injury at this point. Reaves will have another chance to make his preseason debut Tuesday against Golden State.

Kessler is out for Monday's exhibition against the Kings due to a finger injury, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Kessler jammed his finger at camp and will now miss Monday's preseason opener, which will be the first game of a back-to-back set. There's a chance Kessler could be held out of Tuesday's game in Golden State as well, but it's unlikely that this will be something that lingers into the regular season.

Rollins (right eye laceration) is expected to return to Monday's exhibition versus Minnesota.

Rollins is dealing with a minor cut on his right eye, but he's expected to power through it. He should open the year as Milwaukee's starting point guard and could be headed for a big season.

Wiggins won't return to Monday's preseason game against the Grizzlies due to a cut to his inner lip. He'll end with seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 11 minutes.

This appears to be a minor injury for Wiggins, but the Hawks will play it safe by sitting him down for the remainder of the matchup. He can be considered day-to-day leading up to Thursday's exhibition against San Antonio.

Stewart is doubtful to return to Monday's preseason game against the Hawks due to a left ankle injury.

Stewart landed on an opposing player's foot in the opening quarter and limped to the locker room. If he doesn't return, he'll finish with a rebound across two minutes of action.

Stewart (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's preseason game against the Hawks, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Stewart appeared to come down on an opposing player's foot and took a hard fall before limping to the locker room. If he's unable to check back in, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks could see increased playing time the rest of the way.

Hukporti was helped to the locker room during the first quarter of Monday's preseason game against the Knicks after suffering an apparent right calf/ankle injury, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Hukporti appeared to grab at his lower leg or ankle after taking a tumble, and he needed the assistance of his teammates to make it down the tunnel. It seems unlikely that he'll return to Monday's exhibition after he was unable put much weight on his injured ankle.

Nurkic didn't participate in Monday's practice due to a right foot injury, Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Nurkic logged 11 minutes in Sunday's preseason-opening win over Denver, posting four points (1-5 FG, 2-2 FT, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block. The big man can be considered questionable for Tuesday's preseason rematch against Denver until the Jazz offer an update on his status.

Filipowski didn't participate in Monday's practice due to a lower-back injury, Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Filipowski didn't play in Sunday's preseason-opening win over Denver due to the back issue. He can be considered questionable for Tuesday's preseason rematch versus the Nuggets until further notice.

Coach J.B. Bickerstaff has been impressed by Okorie so far in camp and wants the guard to continue to gain experience against NBA-caliber talent in the preseason, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.

Okorie should get his fair share of opportunities during Monday night's preseason game against the Suns as the team continues to evaluate where the young guard will fit into the rotation. Bickerstaff has been particularly impressed by Okorie's maturity and poise, and his ability to take care of the basketball. The 19-year-old was selected by the Pistons with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and is in a position to earn regular minutes off the bench behind Cade Cunningham.
