Adebayo (rest) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Magic.

Adebayo will return to action Wednesday alongside most of the team's starters after sitting out Miami's preseason finale for rest purposes. The 27-year-old big man has shown an improved outside shot during the preseason and will likely look to increase his average of 0.6 three-point attempts per contest from last season.

Capela (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Nets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Capela sat out Atlanta's preseason finale due to ankle soreness but is available for the team's regular-season opener Wednesday. The 30-year-old center averaged 11.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 assists in 25.8 minutes across 73 regular-season appearances last season.

Zeller is away from the team and won't be available for Wednesday's game versus the Nets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

It's unclear when Zeller plans to rejoin the team, but he's unlikely to be featured in head coach Quin Snyder's rotation while fellow centers Onyeka Okongwu and Clint Capela are both available.

Ayton (rest) will play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Warriors, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

As expected, Ayton will play in the regular-season opener after resting during the preseason finale. He made 55 regular-season appearances during his first season in Portland last year, averaging 16.7 points and 11.1 rebounds in 32.4 minutes per game.

Coach Chauncey Billups said Williams (hamstring) isn't expected to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Warriors, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Williams suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain during training camp and is still working his way back to full strength. If he's sidelined, Donovan Clingan and Duop Reath would likely see backup minutes behind Deandre Ayton.

Lopez (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the 76ers.

As expected, Lopez will suit up for Opening Night after resting during the Bucks' preseason finale. The veteran averaged 2.4 blocks and 1.9 made three-pointers per game across 79 regular-season appearances last year.

Jackson (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pistons and is considered day-to-day, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Jackson missed Thursday's preseason game versus the Hornets due to a groin issue and isn't quite past the injury yet. Based on his day-to-day label from coach Rick Carlisle, it's likely that Jackson will be back in action soon, even if he's sidelined for the regular-season opener.

Landale (rest) will be available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Hornets, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

As expected, Landale is good to go for the regular-season opener after resting during the preseason finale. With Steven Adams (undisclosed) questionable, Landale may be the top backup center behind Alperen Sengun.

Adams (undisclosed) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Coach Ime Udoka did not specify why Adams is questionable, but there should be more clarity when the Rockets release their injury report Tuesday evening. If Adams is held out, Jock Landale could potentially see some backup center minutes.

Boucher (knee) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

After missing Friday's preseason game against the Nets with a mild contusion, Boucher isn't listed on Toronto's official injury report for the regular-season opener. With Kelly Olynyk (back) sidelined Wednesday, Boucher could get the backup center minutes behind Jakob Poeltl, putting the former on the streaming radar.
