Simmons (not injury related) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Simmons will be held out Monday as the Kings remain committed to ramping up the 30-year-old slowly. He could make his preseason debut either Thursday against the Lakers or Saturday against the Warriors.

Rollins (eye) returned to Monday's preseason game against the Timberwolves with 1:37 remaining in the first quarter, per the broadcast.

Rollins exited the Bucks' preseason opener in the opening quarter due to a right eye laceration. The 24-year-old was deemed likely to return shortly after leaving the court and has since checked back in.

Kaluma won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Kings due to a lower body injury, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

Coach JJ Redick notes that this isn't a significant injury, and the team is considering Kaluma day-to-day. He'll have another chance to take the court during Tuesday's exhibition against the Warriors.

Sexton has been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against the Kings due to a lower-body issue, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

It's unclear exactly what Sexton is dealing with, though he's considered day-to-day. His next chance to suit up in the preseason will come Tuesday against the Warriors.

Reaves won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Kings after tweaking his ankle, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

The Lakers don't appear to be overly concerned about the injury at this point. Reaves will have another chance to make his preseason debut Tuesday against Golden State.

Kessler is out for Monday's exhibition against the Kings due to a finger injury, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Kessler jammed his finger at camp and will now miss Monday's preseason opener, which will be the first game of a back-to-back set. There's a chance Kessler could be held out of Tuesday's game in Golden State as well, but it's unlikely that this will be something that lingers into the regular season.

Rollins (right eye laceration) is expected to return to Monday's exhibition versus Minnesota.

Rollins is dealing with a minor cut on his right eye, but he's expected to power through it. He should open the year as Milwaukee's starting point guard and could be headed for a big season.

Wiggins won't return to Monday's preseason game against the Grizzlies due to a cut to his inner lip. He'll end with seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 11 minutes.

This appears to be a minor injury for Wiggins, but the Hawks will play it safe by sitting him down for the remainder of the matchup. He can be considered day-to-day leading up to Thursday's exhibition against San Antonio.

Stewart is doubtful to return to Monday's preseason game against the Hawks due to a left ankle injury.

Stewart landed on an opposing player's foot in the opening quarter and limped to the locker room. If he doesn't return, he'll finish with a rebound across two minutes of action.

Stewart (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's preseason game against the Hawks, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Stewart appeared to come down on an opposing player's foot and took a hard fall before limping to the locker room. If he's unable to check back in, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks could see increased playing time the rest of the way.
