Sabonis (undisclosed) was a full participant during Monday's practice but remains questionable for Tuesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Sabonis has missed two straight games for undisclosed reasons, but it sounds like it's a minor issue. If the veteran big man doesn't suit up Tuesday, his final chance to play during the preseason will come Friday in San Antonio.

Cardwell (calf) didn't practice Monday, per James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento.

Cardwell is nursing left calf soreness and missed Saturday's preseason game against the Warriors. His status is uncertain for Tuesday's preseason game versus Portland.

Horford (rest) won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Lakers, per Nick Friedell of The Athletic.

The veteran center isn't making the trip to Las Vegas for this exhibition. He'll look to return for Friday's preseason finale versus Portland. Horford isn't expected to begin the season as a starter despite Kristaps Porzingis' (undisclosed) absence, per Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Williams (rest) is out for Monday's exhibition against the London Lions.

The Trail Blazers are giving the veteran big man a maintenance day Monday. Williams' next chance to play comes Tuesday against Sacramento.

Williams (undisclosed) is out for Monday's preseason game against Utah, per Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News.

Williams is remaining on the inactive list for the Spurs on Monday. Wednesday's matchup with the Suns marks his next chance to play.

Wembanyama (rest) will not play in Monday's preseason matchup against the Jazz, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

The Spurs planned to rest several regulars against Utah before the preseason began, so Wembanyama's absence appears to be a routine precaution rather than an injury-related concern. San Antonio will also sit Stephon Castle, De'Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper and Devin Vassell, among others. Wembanyama's next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Suns.

Porzingis (undisclosed) remains away from the team, per Anthony Slater of ESPN.com.

Porzingis has yet to report to Warriors training camp while dealing with an undisclosed issue. He's running out of time to make a preseason appearance, and it sounds like the big man is in real jeopardy of missing the start of the regular season at this point.

Sims finished with six points (3-3 FG), six rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 105-90 preseason loss to Charlotte.

Sims made all three of his field-goal attempts while providing solid rebounding production in limited action. However, Milwaukee's frontcourt features Myles Turner and Kel'el Ware, leaving Sims facing significant competition for minutes. His fantasy outlook remains limited unless injuries create additional opportunities.

Capela finished with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and one block in 24 minutes as a starter during Sunday's 132-115 preseason loss to Dallas.

Capela moved into the starting lineup with Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams resting, providing a solid presence on the glass despite limited offensive involvement. The veteran center also committed three turnovers but demonstrated his rebounding ability in an expanded role. Capela figures to serve primarily as a reserve big man, limiting his fantasy ceiling this season.

Sharpe (shoulder) will play in Monday's preseason game against the Wizards, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Sharpe will return to action after sitting out Thursday's exhibition. With two more preseason contests, Sharpe continues to sit atop the center depth chart.
