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.

Collins (toe) did not play in Sunday's 133-128 preseason loss to Denver.

Collins continues to deal with a toe injury that has kept him out of preseason action. The veteran big man will look to return before the regular season begins, though his availability for Chicago's next exhibition remains uncertain.

Kalkbrenner finished with four points (2-2 FG) and five rebounds in 12 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 preseason win over Milwaukee.

Kalkbrenner continued what has been a modest preseason, doing very little to endear himself to fantasy managers. It appears as though Moussa Diabate will retain the starting center position heading into the regular season. This means Kalkbrenner is likely to be up against Hannes Steinbach for backup minutes, limiting his appeal across all formats. For those in deeper leagues, Kalkbrenner should be seen as a potential streaming option for blocks.

Turner recorded five points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five blocks, two rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 preseason loss to the Hornets.

Turner provided ample production on the defensive end, racking up a game-high five blocks. However, that's where the good news ends, following what was a poor shooting night. Coming off what was a terrible season last year, Turner is looking to reinvigorate his career. He warrants attention in the later rounds of drafts, based on his blocks upside alone. With that said, his peripheral numbers are typically less than ideal, which does limit his overall upside.

Jokic recorded 22 points (8-12, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and a block in 26 minutes during Sunday's 133-128 preseason win over the Bulls.

Denver elected to play their starters into the second half for the first time this preseason, leading to Jokic producing a highly efficient triple-double while playing three quarters. The star big man led the game in rebounds and assists. Jokic is coming off six straight seasons in which he finished top two in MVP voting, and he seems poised for another dominant campaign.
