Hepburn (knee) is out for Monday's Summer League game against the Pacers, per Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca.

The Raptors appear to be managing Hepburn's reps because he's been dealing with knee soreness this summer. His next chance to play arrives Thursday against Miami.

Diawara (finger) is out for Monday's Summer League game against the Pistons, per James L. Edwards III of The Athletic.

Diawara is nursing a finger injury and can be deemed day-to-day going forward. His next chance to play comes Thursday against the Warriors.

Enaruna (illness) didn't play in Sunday's 103-94 Summer League loss to the Pistons, per Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Enaruna is also unlikely to play Monday, when the Cavaliers face the Heat on the second leg of a back-to-back set. His next chance to play would appear to come Wednesday versus the Suns.

The Magic announced Monday that Nelson will undergo surgery to repair a fracture in his left ankle, and he's expected to return to basketball activities in 3-4 months.

Nelson sustained the fracture during Sunday's Summer League win over Portland and is now in danger of missing the start of the 2026-27 campaign. The No. 51 overall pick in this year's draft signed a two-way contract with the Magic and isn't expected to have a consistent role with the parent club once he returns.

Peterson (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's Las Vegas Summer League game against the Bulls, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Peterson will skip the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he should be back in action for Wednesday's game against the Spurs. With Peterson on the sidelines, Bez Mbeng could get some time to shine in a starting role.

Williams (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's Las Vegas Summer League game against the Bulls, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Monday's matchup will mark the second game of a back-to-back set, so Williams will receive a rest day. Darryn Peterson (rest) and Ace Bailey (back) will join Williams on the inactive list Monday, so guys like Orlando Robinson and Blake Hinson will be asked to step it up on offense.

Bailey exited Sunday's Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Clippers with back spasms and did not return, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Bailey only managed to make it through eight minutes before aggravating his back, and it's already been announced he will miss Monday's meeting with the Bulls. The Jazz will likely be extra cautious with Bailey's back issue during these exhibition games, so for now, he should be considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Peterson finished with 23 points (6-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks over 26 minutes during Sunday's 104-82 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Clippers.

Peterson showcased his explosiveness with a vicious throwdown early in the game, and while he didn't have his most efficient outing, he did an excellent job drawing contact and getting to the free-throw line. He's been one of the standout performers at Summer League, elevating expectations for his already highly anticipated rookie season.

Miller registered 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 104-82 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Jazz.

Miller scored with remarkable efficiency, missing just two shots in 26 minutes while knocking down both of his free throws. The second-round pick is an intriguing seven-foot playmaker, but it may be difficult for him to carve out meaningful minutes in Los Angeles while Rui Hachimura, Brandon Ingram and Derrick Jones are healthy.

Wagler contributed 23 points (6-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four assists, one rebound and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 104-82 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Jazz.

While Wagler struggled to finish inside the arc, he found his stroke from deep and led the Clippers in both points and three-pointers in the blowout win. The No. 5 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft has yet to truly break out in Las Vegas, but he'll get another chance Tuesday against the Lakers.
