Warriors' Stephen Curry: Efficient in preseason opener
Curry logged 10 points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 12 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 preseason loss to the Clippers.
Curry understandably saw limited action in the team's preseason opener, but he made the most of his minutes, leading the starting five with 10 points on efficient shooting. Curry will likely continue to see limited minutes throughout the preseason to preserve his health for the regular season. The star guard played in just 43 regular-season games in 2025-26.

Warriors' Alex Toohey: Logs eight minutes off the bench
Toohey (knee) registered two points (1-2 FG), one assist, one steal and two blocks over eight minutes in Sunday's 104-101 preseason loss to the Clippers.
Toohey sat out Summer League, as he was recovering from knee surgery, but he's now fully cleared for game action. He's competing for a spot on the Warriors' regular-season roster.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Dishes seven assists
Jokic recorded three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), seven assists, three rebounds, one steal and a block in 14 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 preseason loss to the Jazz.
Jokic played facilitator almost exclusively Sunday, totaling a game-high seven assists while only recording one official field-goal attempt. Despite not looking for his shot, Jokic added to his highlight tape with a crafty behind-the-back pass along the baseline, which resulted in a Cameron Johnson three-pointer. The star big man is expected to retain a limited role throughout the preseason to preserve his health for the regular season.

Clippers' Rui Hachimura: Nets 21 points in 15 minutes
Hachimura racked up 21 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one block across 15 minutes in Sunday's 104-101 preseason win over the Warriors.
Hachimura had the hot hand early, and despite logging just 15 minutes, his 21 points were a game-high. He's making a strong case to open the year as a starter with Brandon Ingram (Achilles) sidelined, and he could be a solid source of points and triples this season.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Nets 15 points on eight shots in win
George produced 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 21 minutes in Sunday's 109-97 preseason win over the Nuggets.
George briefly exited the game after getting whacked in the face, but he returned a short while later and didn't seem any worse for the wear. George will look to take another step forward in Year 4 after breaking out with averages of 23.6 points, 6.1 assists, 2.5 triples and 1.1 steals per game last season.

Spurs' Tobias Harris: Won't be rushed to return
Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said they will not rush Harris (calf) back to the court, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
"It's a calf strain, the seriousness is what it is," said Johnson. "We won't rush him at all. I guess the question will be is he ready for the season opener? Totally questionable and we will not push that at all. So, we'll take it slow. There is no concern of this level of seriousness, and at the same time, we will not rush him at all." It sounds like Harris, who has already been ruled out for the preseason, is in danger of missing opening night. His absence will open up minutes for Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson and Harrison Barnes.
