Isaac (knee) won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against Cleveland, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

The oft-injured forward is back with the team after attending to a personal matter but remains sidelined with a knee injury. Friday's exhibition against the Heat marks Isaac's last chance for preseason reps.

Suggs (illness) is available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

Suggs missed the Magic's first two preseason games while under the weather, though he'll return to action Tuesday. With the 25-year-old floor general back in action, Jase Richardson will likely shift to the second unit.

Cardwell will miss at least two weeks with a left calf strain, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Sacramento's frontcourt takes another blow after losing Maxime Raynaud (knee) for several weeks over the weekend. The Kings figure to depend heavily upon Domantas Sabonis at center to open the season, while Precious Achiuwa should play a featured role off the bench to help pick up the slack.

Pritchard signed a two-year, $44.2 million contract extension with the Celtics on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Pritchard's extension includes a mutual option for the 2029-30 campaign. The 28-year-old guard is coming off the best statistical year of his career, averaging 17.0 points, 5.2 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 0.7 steals across 32.4 minutes per game in 79 regular-season appearances (50 starts). Regardless of whether the 2024-25 Sixth Man of the Year starts, he figures to play a sizable role for the Jaylen Brown-less Celtics.

Loyer signed a training camp contract with the Clippers on Tuesday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Loyer was waived by the Clippers last Tuesday before re-signing with the team a week later. His last chance to play for the team in the preseason will come Wednesday against Denver.

Youngblood (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason game against the Kings.

Youngblood will miss his second exhibition game in as many days due to left calf soreness. His final chance to play again in the preseason will come Friday against Golden State.

Williams (rest) is available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Kings.

The veteran big man is off the injury report after resting Monday against London. Williams is in line to be the primary backup center behind Donovan Clingan, though 2025 first-rounder Yang Hansen poses a threat to that role.

Lillard (rest) is available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Kings.

The veteran guard is absent from the injury report after sitting out Monday against London. Lillard is in line to serve as Portland's starting point guard in his comeback campaign from an Achilles injury and second stint with the Trail Blazers.

Smith tallied five points (2-5 FG, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across 10 minutes in Monday's 113-110 preseason loss to the Hawks.

Smith is battling for a roster spot under an Exhibit 10 deal. If he doesn't break camp with the Thunder, Smith would likely join the G League's Oklahoma City Blue.

Isaac (knee/personal) participated in individual drills Tuesday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Isaac has been away from the team while attending to a personal matter, though he's back ahead of Tuesday's exhibition against Cleveland. It's unclear if the 29-year-old will suit up Tuesday, as he was limited by a knee injury before missing back-to-back preseason contests for personal reasons.
