Robinson (rest) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the 76ers, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Robinson and the rest of Boston's regulars won't play in the final exhibition but should be good to go for Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Pistons.

Turner (rest) is available for Friday's preseason game versus the Pacers.

Turner was one of several key Bucks players who sat out Wednesday's loss to the Bulls, but he's been given the green light to return in Milwaukee's preseason finale. The veteran center will look to bounce back in 2026-27 following a lackluster first year with the Bucks, during which he averaged 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 1.5 assists and 0.7 steals in 26.9 minutes per game across 71 regular-season starts.

Collins (toe) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Timberwolves, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Collins will wind up missing all four of Chicago's preseason games due to this toe injury, but head coach Tiago Splitter did say that Collins has been cleared for practice and is "close" to getting back to the court.

Gobert, Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu are all resting for the final exhibition. Gobert should be good to go for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Heat.

Cisse (ankle) is available for Friday's preseason game versus Atlanta.

Cisse was nursing a sprained left ankle, though it won't keep him off the court for the Mavericks' final exhibition. The 24-year-old has averaged 3.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks across 12.5 minutes per outing in three preseason appearances.
