  • RJ Barrett SG | TOR

    Raptors' RJ Barrett: Wants to stay in Toronto

    Barrett wants to stay with the Raptors, per Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com.

    Barrett is set for unrestricted free agency next summer following the expiration of his rookie contract extension, originally signed as a member of the Knicks back in 2022. The 26-year-old swingman tends to be a better fantasy investment in points leagues -- he's never shot at least 75 percent from the free-throw line and has averaged at least one steal just one time his career.

  • Ajay Mitchell SG | OKC

    Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Fully healthy for Thunder

    Mitchell (calf) is healthy and participating fully in training camp after ending the 2025-26 season injured, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.

    Head coach Mark Daigneault said Wednesday that Mitchell "got himself healthy" during the offseason and praised the guard's conditioning and overall form early in camp. Mitchell's unrestricted participation indicates he's moved past the calf injury that ended his 2025-26 campaign and should be available for Oklahoma City's preseason slate.

  • Adem Bona C | PHI

    76ers' Adem Bona: Re-evaluation coming up

    76ers coach Nick Nurse said Bona (foot) will be re-evaluated in a couple days, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

    Bona has been recovering from a foot sprain he suffered during the offseason. According to Nurse, there's a chance he could be back for a portion of the preseason. Bona is currently penciled in as Joel Embiid's backup for the upcoming season.

  • Tacko Fall C | PHI

    76ers' Tacko Fall: Dealing with hip issue

    Fall was diagnosed with a left hip strain Thursday and will miss at least two weeks, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

    This is a tough blow for Fall, as he's already facing an uphill battle to make the final roster. A return Oct. 16 isn't out of the question based on this timetable.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Drops weight ahead of season

    Hartenstein dropped nearly 10 pounds ahead of the 2026-27 season, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

    Hartenstein has been a full go for several weeks after tweaking his ankle for Germany during the offseason. He's expected to play a similar role in 2026-27 and is fresh off a three-year, $75 million extension.

  • Ryan Conwell PG | MIA

    Heat's Ryan Conwell: Makes strong impression on team

    Conwell has made a strong early impression on teammate Klay Thompson during his first training camp with Miami, according to Heat reporter Brendan Tobin.

    Thompson praised Conwell's conditioning, defense and left-handed jumper, noting that the rookie picked up full court defensively during practice and had previously beaten him in a shooting drill this summer. The No. 37 overall pick averaged 18.8 points while attempting 9.6 three-pointers per game during his final collegiate season at Louisville, and his combination of shooting and defensive effort could help him compete for a rotation role as a rookie. The hip issue that flared up during Summer League is seemingly behind him.

  • Dru Smith PG | MIA

    Heat's Dru Smith: Tweaks right calf

    Smith will miss a couple weeks with a strained right calf, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    This is a tough blow for the point guard who was penciled in as the top backup behind Davion Mitchell. If he indeed misses a couple weeks, he could be back in time for their final preseason contest Oct. 16.

  • Anthony Davis PF | WAS

    Wizards' Anthony Davis: Participating in training camp

    Davis is healthy and participating in training camp after dealing with injury issues during the 2025-26 campaign, according to Wizards reporter Greg Finberg.

    Davis was spotted going through on-court work alongside Trae Young during Wednesday's practice, providing further confirmation that he's healthy entering his first full season with Washington. The veteran big man should have the opportunity to ramp up throughout camp and the preseason without injury-related limitations.

  • Trae Young PG | WAS

    Wizards' Trae Young: Full go at training camp

    Young (quadriceps) has been cleared for training camp and was spotted participating in on-court work during Wednesday's practice, according to Wizards reporter Greg Finberg.

    Young's 2025-26 campaign ended with him sidelined by a right quadriceps contusion and lower-back irritation after appearing in just five games for Washington following his midseason arrival. His participation during the second day of camp indicates he's moved past those issues and enters the preseason healthy.

  • Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: No health issues at camp

    Clayton (knee) has been a full go at training camp, according to Grizzlies reporter Matt Infield.

    Clayton missed the entire Summer League due to a sprained right knee, but he made no mention of it during Media Day. Clayton is competing for a roster spot in Memphis and is looking to make an impact in the preseason.
