Collins (toe) was a big part of Tuesday's practice, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.

Coach Tiago Splitter said Collins probably needs a bit more time before getting the green light to return. For now, he can be considered questionable at best for Wednesday's preseason game against the Suns.

Turner recorded seven points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 19 minutes in Monday's 116-97 preseason loss to the Timberwolves.

Turner provided a full stat line in Milwaukee's preseason opener Monday. The veteran center is a rumored trade candidate but has two years left of team control on his contract, including 2026-27, so the rebuilding Bucks might want to see Turner revert closer back to form from his time with the Pacers before considering swinging a deal.

Cardwell recorded nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in 29 minutes during Monday's 127-103 preseason loss to the Lakers.

Cardwell was among Sacramento's first five reserves and grabbed four offensive rebounds while filling up the defensive stat sheet. The second-year big is competing for frontcourt minutes behind Domantas Sabonis after averaging 5.4 points and 7.5 rebounds during the 2025-26 regular season.

Beringer supplied 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and one block across 15 minutes in Monday's 116-97 preseason win over the Bucks.

Beringer led the second unit in rebounding Monday in Minnesota's preseason opener. The second-year big man is slotting in as the team's No. 2 center behind Rudy Gobert now that Naz Reid is out of the frontcourt mix, so Beringer should have an Opening Night role.

Drummond finished with six points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), five rebounds, three blocks and one assist in 12 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to Philadelphia.

Drummond made his presence felt defensively despite the limited workload. He should provide New York with experienced frontcourt depth behind Karl-Anthony Towns.

Correcting a previous report, Jackson-Davis (migraines) was absent from Tuesday's practice, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Jackson-Davis also missed Saturday's preseason opener against Miami, and it's unclear what's keeping him sidelined. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's preseason matchup with the Clippers.

Ejiofor recorded five points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to Memphis.

Ejiofor didn't enter until the second half but received a decent look once Atlanta turned the game over to its reserves. The rookie remains buried in a crowded frontcourt and will likely need to impress during the preseason to carve out a role.

Okongwu finished with eight points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 14 minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason loss to Memphis.

Okongwu started at center and knocked down one of his two attempts from beyond the arc. He should remain Atlanta's starting center this season and could provide a boost to his fantasy value if his expanded perimeter shooting carries into the regular season.

Jackson-Davis (migraines) was back at practice Tuesday, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.

It was previously unknown why Jackson-Davis had been away from the team, but now there's some clarity. This sets him up to make his preseason debut Saturday against the Clippers.

The Bucks signed Broome to a contract Tuesday.

Broome made 11 regular-season appearances for Philadelphia as a rookie in 2025-26 but spent most of the campaign in the G League, averaging 21.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.1 steals in 32.9 minutes across 26 games for Delaware. The 2025 second-round pick is presumably on an Exhibit 10 deal and will compete for a roster spot.
