Fox (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against the Jazz, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Fox was listed in the starting lineup for Thursday's game but was a late scratch and will miss a third straight exhibition Monday. The extent of his injury remains unclear, but the Spurs have made no indication that the veteran point guard is in danger of missing Opening Night. For what it's worth, the Spurs are resting most of their regulars, including their expected starting lineup for Monday's game.

Harper (rest) won't play in Monday's preseason game against Utah, per Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News.

Harper is joining the rest of the Spurs' regular starters on the sidelines Monday. His next chance to play comes Wednesday against the Suns.

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.

Bona (foot) practiced in a limited fashion Monday, per Ky Carlin of USA Today.

Bona is already expected to miss Friday's preseason finale against Boston, but he's still aiming to be ready for the start of the regular season. Once healthy, Bona is in line to serve as the No. 2 center behind Joel Embiid.

Simons (hamstring) was limited at Monday's practice, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Simons continues to deal with tightness in his hamstring, though he's trending in the right direction. For now, he's questionable at best for the next preseason game Oct. 16 against the Celtics.

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.

Haliburton (ankle) participated in Monday's practice without restrictions, head coach Rick Carlisle told Tony East of Forbes.com.

Haliburton missed a preseason contest due to an ankle issue, but his full participation in Monday's practice suggests he's making progress toward returning to game action. However, Carlisle indicated that the guard's availability for Tuesday's preseason matchup against Oklahoma City won't be determined until game day. His status remains worth monitoring, though the unrestricted practice session is an encouraging sign.

Salaun finished with five points (1-8 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 105-90 preseason win over Milwaukee.

Salaun endured a difficult shooting night, connecting on just one of his seven three-point attempts, but made a positive impact on the glass while committing zero turnovers. The young forward continues to receive substantial preseason playing time, though improving his offensive efficiency will be important as he competes for a consistent role in Charlotte's rotation.

James finished with 11 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 20 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 105-90 preseason win over Milwaukee.

James turned in an efficient performance, connecting on three triples while contributing as a rebounder and facilitator. The young guard made a strong case for additional opportunities in Charlotte's rotation, though the Hornets' backcourt depth could make consistent minutes difficult to secure once the regular season begins.

Jaquez recorded nine points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 20 minutes as a starter during Sunday's 105-90 preseason loss to Charlotte.

Jaquez delivered a well-rounded performance, tying for the team lead in rebounds while finishing with four assists and zero turnovers. The forward has demonstrated his versatility throughout the preseason and could carve out a significant role in Milwaukee's rotation. His ability to contribute across multiple categories makes him an intriguing fantasy option if he secures consistent playing time.
