Sarr finished with six points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and nine rebounds across 23 minutes in Monday's 131-122 preseason loss to the Nets.

Without Anthony Davis (rest) drawing attention, Sarr struggled to score Monday. The third-year big man is set to play for the most talented Wizards team of his young career in 2026-27, which also features Trae Young at point guard.

Dennis recorded 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and three steals across 24 minutes off the bench in Monday's 113-110 preseason win over Oklahoma City.

Dennis provided a spark for Atlanta's second unit, tying Kingston Flemings for the team lead in assists while pacing the Hawks with three steals. The guard also shot efficiently inside the arc, though he struggled from three-point range. His well-rounded performance should help his case for a roster spot or a developmental role, but his regular-season opportunities remain uncertain.

Johnson contributed 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals across 10 minutes off the bench in Monday's 113-110 preseason victory over Oklahoma City.

Johnson made the most of his limited playing time, converting all four of his field-goal attempts while knocking down both shots from beyond the arc. He also contributed two steals in an efficient two-way showing. Although his performance was encouraging, the rookie remains a long shot for spot on the Opening Night roster.

Ejiofor finished with 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block across 23 minutes off the bench in Monday's 113-110 preseason win over Oklahoma City.

Ejiofor delivered an efficient offensive performance while making his presence felt on the glass, grabbing five offensive rebounds. The rookie also showed some passing ability and connected on his lone three-point make in two attempts. Despite the encouraging outing, Ejiofor faces an uphill battle for consistent playing time in Atlanta's frontcourt once the regular season begins.

Wilson posted 12 points (4-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes off the bench in Monday's 113-110 preseason victory over Oklahoma City.

Wilson struggled with his overall shooting efficiency but found success from beyond the arc, with all four of his made field goals coming from three-point range. He also collected eight rebounds, providing solid production during his extended opportunity. However, Wilson will likely face considerable competition for minutes on Atlanta's wing during the regular season.

Alexander-Walker registered 16 points (4-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 25 minutes in Monday's 113-110 preseason win over Oklahoma City.

Alexander-Walker was effective from beyond the arc, converting four of his seven attempts while contributing across multiple statistical categories. The veteran guard started and finished as Atlanta's second-leading scorer, demonstrating the perimeter shooting and complementary playmaking that should help him remain an important part of the Hawks' backcourt rotation.

Dix recorded 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt), seven assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block across 37 minutes in Monday's 113-110 preseason loss to Atlanta.

Dix drew the start and made an impact as both a perimeter shooter and facilitator, finishing second on the Thunder in assists while committing just one turnover. The rookie received an extended opportunity with Oklahoma City relying heavily on its younger players, though his playing time figures to be considerably more limited once the regular season begins.

Magic coach Sean Sweeney said Suggs is no longer under the weather, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Sweeney added that Suggs is doing well, but there was no mention of his status for Tuesday's preseason game against the Cavaliers. Suggs' status for Opening Night is not a concern, however.

Morant finished with five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five assists and three steals across 14 minutes in Monday's 119-66 preseason victory over the London Lions.

Although Morant struggled to find his scoring touch, he led Portland in assists and steals while committing just one turnover. The veteran guard showed encouraging playmaking in limited minutes as he continues to adjust to his new surroundings. Morant is expected to play a prominent role in Portland's backcourt, though his preseason workload has remained relatively light.

Camara posted 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 15 minutes in Monday's 119-66 preseason victory over the London Lions.

Camara made the most of his limited playing time, tying Scoot Henderson for the team lead in points while shooting efficiently from the field and converting all four of his free-throw attempts. The 26-year-old forward started alongside Portland's other regulars and contributed across multiple categories. His combination of perimeter shooting and defensive versatility should help him maintain a significant role in the Trail Blazers' rotation.
