Penda won't return to Friday's preseason game against the Heat due to right hamstring tightness, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. He'll finish with one steal in two minutes.
Penda was limited at the start of training camp due to a right hamstring injury, and he's now in danger of missing Wednesday's regular-season opener against Atlanta. If the 21-year-old is forced to miss time, Jamal Cain could see a slight bump in minutes.
